Getting Started
Follow this guide to start using SRExpert.
SRExpert is available in two ways, and the onboarding flow depends on which you use:
- SaaS (hosted) — Use the hosted platform at app.srexpert.cloud. Nothing to install on a server; you connect your clusters with the in-cluster agent.
- Self-hosted (on-prem) — Deploy the SRExpert platform on your own cluster with Helm, then connect clusters to your instance.
SaaS Setup Flow
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Registration | Create your account on app.srexpert.cloud |
| 2. Purchase License | Choose your plan |
| 3. Configuration | Configure basic options |
| 4. Add Cluster | Connect your Kubernetes cluster via the agent |
1. Registration
Create your account on app.srexpert.cloud. You’ll receive a confirmation email to verify your account.
2. Purchase License
Choose the plan that fits your needs. Payment is processed securely via Stripe.
3. Configuration
Configure your profile, organization settings, and notification preferences.
4. Add Cluster
Connect your first Kubernetes cluster. The recommended path is the Generic Kubernetes (agent) method: name your cluster, generate the Helm/kubectl import command, and run it in-cluster. The agent registers over an outbound connection — no platform installation required. You can also import managed clusters (AWS EKS, Azure AKS, GCP GKE) or paste a kubeconfig.
Self-Hosted Setup Flow
If you run SRExpert on your own infrastructure, install the platform first, then follow the same registration and cluster onboarding steps against your instance.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Installation | Deploy the SRExpert platform on your cluster |
| 2. Registration | Create your account |
| 3. Purchase License | Choose your plan |
| 4. Configuration | Configure basic options |
| 5. Add Cluster | Connect your Kubernetes cluster |
1. Installation
Install the SRExpert platform on your cluster using Helm. You’ll need kubectl access and Helm 3.x installed.
2. Registration
Create your account on your SRExpert instance. You’ll receive a confirmation email to verify your account.
3. Purchase License
Choose the plan that fits your needs.
4. Configuration
Configure your profile, organization settings, and notification preferences.
5. Add Cluster
Connect your first Kubernetes cluster using the agent, cloud-provider import, or a kubeconfig.
