Running Edge tools

Prepare the Edge tools on k3S

On K3S, the Edge tool is downloaded at the end of a successful installation.

Alternatively, you can download it from the cluster:

TOOLS_POD=$(sudo /usr/local/bin/kubectl -n collibra-edge get pod -l edge.collibra.com/contains=tools -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')

sudo /usr/local/bin/kubectl cp collibra-edge/$TOOLS_POD:edge /usr/local/bin/edge

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/edge

The Edge command is in /usr/local/bin on the host. This is your first worker node, so you run the Edge command on the actual host where k3s runs.

Overview Edge commands on k3S

Edge tool	Commands
Uninstall Edge	/usr/local/bin/uninstall-edge.sh Note If you intend to reinstall Edge, you need to recreate the Linux disk mount for the directory /var/lib/rancher/k3s
Create Edge diagnostics file	Edge site is not yet installed: <extracted installer directory>/resources/tools/edge-diagnostics.sh -d <file name>.tgz Edge site is up and running: edge diagnostics -d <file name>.tgz
Create an Edge site backup	edge backup -o /<path to folder>/<backup-name>.yaml
Set Edge storage cache ttl	edge cachettl --ttl <value in days>
Retrieve logs from a catalog connector	edge catalog-connector --jobid <Edge job ID> \ --dst <path to destination>
Update Collibra credentials	Interactive way: edge update-dgc-creds -i Explicit update: edge update-dgc-creds <username> <password> <url collibra environment>
Update forward proxy settings	edge update-outbound-proxy --update-outbound-proxy /path/to/proxy.properties
Get help to set up no_proxy configuration	Edge site is not yet installed: <extracted installer directory>/resources/tools/edge-get-noproxy.sh k3s Edge site is up and running: edge get-noproxy k3s
Edge CLI	edge download-edgecli By default, the edgecli tool is downloaded into the current working directory. Once the command has been executed, you can use it as expected. For example: ./edgecli <command> Note The Edge CLI tool is only available in the linux/amd64 binary and can only be used to configure vaults.

Prepare Edge tools on managed Kubernetes

Select the managed, dedicated Kubernetes cluster your Edge site is installed on:

Dedicated Kubernetes cluster

Edge is installed from a Linux machine that has access to the actual K8S cluster.

There is no automatic download of the Edge tool after installation because we don’t want to enforce it in a specific location. Therefore, on your Linux machine, download the Edge tool to a folder of your choice. For example:

TOOLS_POD=$(kubectl -n collibra-edge get pod -l edge.collibra.com/contains=tools -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')

kubectl cp collibra-edge/$TOOLS_POD:edge edge

chmod +x edge

You can now run Edge commands from your current folder.

Note  As you are not on the worker node itself, you cannot collect worker node diagnostics. If you need these diagnostics, create a support ticket.
