Humio Operator

The Humio Operator is the preferred method for running LogScale on Kubernetes.

The Humio Operator creates a way to deploy and manage one or more LogScale Clusters, as well as configure LogScale components such as Repositories, Parsers and Ingest Tokens.

Running LogScale with the Humio Operator reduces the overall cost of running LogScale on Kubernetes by running a LogScale-maintained controller that manages many of the cluster operations for you.
