Default kubernetes config

You can change the default kubeconfig using environment variable 

export KUBECONFIG=/home/user/mykubeconfig

By default the /home/user/.kube/config file will be used. ensure that the default context is connected and can interact with a kubernetes cluster.

Full default

Deploy all the stack in the sxcollector namespace.

cd sxcollector/examples/kustomize
kubectl apply -k .
