Deploying the Sysdig agent on edge worker nodes

{: #edge-sysdig}

To allow the Sysdig agent pods to be deployed to your edge worker nodes, run the following kubectl patch command to update the sysdig-agent DaemonSet. This command applies the NoExecute toleration to the DaemonSet to ensure that the agent pods don't get evicted from the node.

kubectl patch ds sysdig-agent -n ibm-observe --type merge --type='json' -p='[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/template/spec/tolerations/-", "value": {"operator": Exists, "effect": NoExecute}}]'

{: pre}

If you used pod labels such as dedicated=edge, you can also apply this label to any pods that you want to allow on your edge nodes. {: tip}
