controller

Parameters to configure the Controller.

Parameter Description
image.repository The domain name or IP address of the local container registry.
watchNamespace The Namespace to watch for Service and CRD update events. The watchNamespace parameter accepts multiple namespaces.
serviceAccount.name Specifies the serviceAccount the Controller Pod will use. By default the Controller serviceAccount is autogenerated based on the Helm release NAME: NAME.f5ingress.
fluentbit_sidecar.enabled Enable to disable the fluentbit logging sidecar (true /false). The default is true.
fluentbig_sidecar.fluentd.host The hostname of the Fluentd container. The default is 127.0.0.1.
