Install BugSnag On-premise on a high availability cluster in an airgapped environment.
To get started with your BugSnag On-premise installation, you’ll need the following prepared in advance:
1.23 and at most version 1.31kubectl command line toolIf you are installing BugSnag On-premise on AWS you can follow our guide to provision AWS resources with CloudFormation which will provide an EKS kubernetes cluster, ECR docker registry, config server with management tooling installed and load balancers to access the BugSnag dashboard.
BugSnag On-premise uses Replicated KOTS to perform and manage installations.
BugSnag will have provided you with a URL to download the offline installation packages.
Download v1.120.3 of the following packages:
kots_linux_amd64.tar.gz)kotsadm.tar.gz)The Replicated KOTS CLI is a kubectl plugin that runs locally on the machine you will use to manage the cluster.
Extract the installation package and move the plugin to a location in your path:
tar xvf kots_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv kots /usr/local/bin/kubectl-kots
Push KOTS admin console images to your registry:
kubectl kots admin-console push-images ./kotsadm.tar.gz \
"<REGISTRY_ADDRESS>" \
--namespace bugsnag \
--registry-username "<RW_USERNAME>" \
--registry-password "<RW_PASSWORD>"
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
<REGISTRY_ADDRESS> |

<RW_USERNAME> |
Username for an account that has read and write access to the private image registry |
<RW_PASSWORD> |
Password for the account with read and write access |
The Replicated KOTS admin console provides a user interface for installing and managing BugSnag On-premise in your kubernetes cluster. Install the admin console by running the following command:
kubectl kots install bugsnag-clustered-kots \
--name Bugsnag \
--namespace bugsnag \
--kotsadm-registry "<REGISTRY_ADDRESS>" \
--registry-username "<RO_USERNAME>" \
--registry-password "<RO_PASSWORD>"
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
<REGISTRY_ADDRESS> |
Address of the private image registry including the namespace |
<RO_USERNAME> |
Username for an account that has read-only access to the private image registry |
<RO_USERNAME> |
Password for the account with read-only access |
See the kots install command reference for all the options available.
You can change the namespace you wish to install Replicated KOTS to, however it must match the namespace you later provide in the BugSnag configuration.
You will be asked to create a password for accessing the admin console.
After installation, the Replicated KOTS admin console is available at http://localhost:8800.
If you are disconnected you can re-establish the port forward:
kubectl kots admin-console --namespace bugsnag
In the Replicated KOTS admin console upload the BugSnag On-premise license file you received from BugSnag.
BugSnag will have provided you with a URL to download the offline installation package:
curl -L -o bugsnag.airgap "<URL provided>"
Ensure the filename ends in .airgap and upload it to the admin console. This may take some time due to the size of the airgap package.
You will be presented with the config page from which you can configure your BugSnag installation.
Finally, you will be shown the preflight checks page, where the system will be analyzed to determine whether the environment meets the minimum requirements. These checks are done to ensure that your installation is successful.
It can take several minutes for BugSnag On-premise to deploy and fully start up. Once complete the admin console will indicate that it is ‘Ready’.
Visit your BugSnag dashboard in a web browser to set up your account and create projects for each of the applications you wish to monitor.
See the load balancing guide for information on how to configure your load balancers.
Once you have created your account and first project, follow the instructions to configure platform SDKs so your applications send error, session and performance information to your BugSnag instance.
