How to enable Telemetry in a Portworx cluster

How to enable telemetry in an existing Portworx cluster?

Prerequisites:

• Portworx Operator 24.1.1 or later
• A cluster running Portworx 3.0.x or later using an Operator-based installation
• Outbound access to the following URLs:

https://pxessentials.portworx.com
https://register.cloud-support.purestorage.com
https://rest.cloud-support.purestorage.com

1. Edit StorageCluster spec and set spec.monitoring.telemetry.enabled to true.

Example:

kubectl edit storagecluster -n <namespace>

spec:
  monitoring:
    telemetry:
      enabled: true 

2. Save the changes and exit the editor. This will update the StorageCluster configuration.

3. Verify telemetry pods (phonehome and registration) are up and running and Telemetry is reported as healthy.

kubectl get po -n <namespace> | grep px-telemetry
pxctl status | grep telemetry

Example:

kubectl get po -n kube-system | grep px-telemetry

px-telemetry-phonehome-2h4h2                 2/2     Running            0                143m
px-telemetry-phonehome-l7j25                 2/2     Running            0                143m
px-telemetry-phonehome-prjkp                 2/2     Running            0                143m
px-telemetry-phonehome-rw24p                 2/2     Running            0                143m
px-telemetry-registration-5f5d7c7bff-9b9x9   2/2     Running            0                143m
