Create a DaemonSet

Deploy one Pod per node (or selected nodes) using a DaemonSet. Suitable for log collectors, monitoring agents, and network plugins.

Prerequisites

• Target Namespace exists.

Step 1. Open the Create form

1. In the left menu, select Workloads → DaemonSets.
2. Click Create DaemonSet in the top-right corner.
3. Select Create as form from the dropdown.

---

Step 2. Configure the DaemonSet

Field	Description	Example
Name	DaemonSet name	log-agent
Namespace	Target Namespace	kube-system

---

Step 3. Configure the Container

Field	Description	Example
Image	Container image	fluent/fluentd:v1.16
Container Port	Port (optional)	-
CPU / Memory Request	Per-node resource request	100m / 128Mi

Node Selector

To deploy only to specific nodes, set label conditions in the Node Selector section. (e.g., role=logging)

Step 4. Create and verify

Click Create.

The DaemonSet is healthy when the Desired count equals the Available count in the list.

• Desired: Expected Pod count based on the number of nodes
• Available: Pods currently in Running state

INFO

DaemonSets have no Replicas setting. The Pod count is determined automatically by the number of nodes.
