Getting startedGetting started

  1. Make sure the DataLens images are uploaded into the cluster’s local registry. For more information, see Uploading DataLens images.
  2. Make sure the Managed Service for PostgreSQL and Identity and Access Management components are enabled in the cluster.

Enabling a componentEnabling a component

  1. Create a manifest file named datalensconfig.yaml with the following contents:

    apiVersion: stackland.yandex.cloud/v1alpha1
    kind: DataLensConfig
    metadata:
      name: main
    spec:
      enabled: true
    
  2. Apply the manifest:

    kubectl apply -f datalensconfig.yaml
    

Checking the installation statusChecking the installation status

  1. Check the component installation status:

    kubectl get componentinstallation -l component=datalens
    
  2. Wait until all pods in the stackland-datalens namespace are ready:

    kubectl get pods -n stackland-datalens
    

    All pods must switch to Running status.

Opening the DataLens consoleOpening the DataLens console

Once the installation is complete, the DataLens console will be available at https://datalens.<cluster domain>. To log in to the console, click Sign In via SSO → Stackland IAM and sign in to Identity and Access Management.

What is created at activationWhat is created at activation

Once DataLens is activated, the following resources get automatically created:

  • A namespace named stackland-datalens.
  • A PostgreSQL cluster named datalens-db with the following databases:
    • datalens-auth: Authentication data.
    • datalens-compeng: Computing engine.
    • datalens-us: User settings.
    • datalens-meta-manager: Metadata.
    • datalens-demo: Demo data.
    • datalens-temporal: Task scheduler data.
    • datalens-temporal-visibility: Task visibility data.
  • Secrets with database passwords and authentication keys. The datalens-secrets secret contains the default local admin user's password. Use it in case of issues with the IAM federation.
  • An OAuthClient named stackland.datalens for integration with Identity and Access Management.
  • A group named stackland-datalens-admins in Identity and Access Management with the cluster administrator added.

Setting up a configurationSetting up a configuration

To edit the component settings, edit the DataLensConfig resource:

kubectl edit datalensconfig main

Learn more about the configuration parameters in the DataLens section.
