Usage

To package any of the charts for deployment:

$ helm package /path/to/chart

This will create a file named {{ .Chart.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Version }}.tgz that is the chart file to be deployed. The default configurations are listed in the values.yaml file in the root of each repo. To deploy the chart with some default values create your custom values.yaml file to change the default configuration or modify the values.yaml file at the root of the chart before packaging it:

$ helm install telegraf-0.1.0.tgz --name {{ .Release.Name }} --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} --values /path/to/my_values.yaml
