Wavefront is a cloud-native monitoring and analytics platform that provides three dimensional microservices observability with metrics, histograms and OpenTracing-compatible distributed tracing.
This chart will deploy the Wavefront Collector for Kubernetes and Wavefront Proxy to your Kubernetes cluster. You can use this chart to install multiple Wavefront Proxy releases, though only one Wavefront Collector for Kubernetes per cluster should be used.
You can learn more about the Wavefront and Kubernetes integration here

The values.yaml file contains information about all configuration options for this chart.
The requried options are clusterName, wavefront.url and wavefront.token.
You will need to provide values for those options for a successful installation of the chart.
