Galileo On-Prem Agent Control Setup

SkillDatabases & data

Render, validate, preflight, observe, and prepare Galileo/CSE joint-session install, upgrade, rollback, and retirement handoffs for the packaged Galileo Agent Control Kubernetes lifecycle, including database policy, migrations, routing, UI proxy wiring, feature flags, resilience, and immutable chart or umbrella-overlay evidence. Use when deploying or upgrading Agent Control as part of Galileo On-Prem; use galileo-agent-control-setup instead for runtime controls and Splunk sinks.

Prerequisites

  • Obtain the exact CSE-approved Agent Control or umbrella package and non-secret questionnaire values. Never infer proprietary defaults.
  • Complete the parent galileo-on-prem-kubernetes-setup contract and establish that api and authz are healthy.
  • Create the chart-required PostgreSQL and API Kubernetes Secrets out of band.
  • Use Bash, Python 3, and a private render destination.

                                                               -> +-- Joint-session handoff --+

When to Activate

  • Add the packaged agent-control service to an on-prem Galileo deployment.
  • Review a new chart, database-bootstrap choice, route, feature flag, or UI integration before an install or upgrade.
  • Produce a stack overlay when the exact umbrella package owns Agent Control.
  • Diagnose missing ownership, Secret-reference, or deployment-order evidence.

Do not activate this skill for creating controls, targets, or Splunk event sinks; those belong to galileo-agent-control-setup after the service is healthy.

Required Intake

Ask for the Galileo instance console URL and record the exact value, for example https://console.demo-v2.galileocloud.io/. Pass it with --galileo-console-url; never assume a Galileo Cloud hostname for on-prem.

Also collect the Kubernetes namespace/release, exact ownership mode, chart or umbrella evidence hashes, parent stack contract, database policy, existing Secret names/keys, routing mode, UI-proxy choice, feature-flag source, and CSE approval reference. Secrets themselves never belong in the spec.

Ownership and Lifecycle Rules

  1. Default to standalone. Require a local agent-control chart archive whose version and SHA-256 match the spec.
  2. Select umbrella-overlay only when a hash-bound artifact from the exact umbrella package proves ownership. Emit an overlay contract; never install a second release.
  3. Reject specifications that contain both ownership paths.
  4. Preserve the required order: healthy api and authz, Agent Control, optional direct route, then ui upgrade/restart and validation.
  5. Treat database bootstrap as a privileged migration choice. Prefer a pre-provisioned database for production and air-gapped deployments.
  6. Keep the Controls UI same-origin proxy enabled. A direct route is optional for SDKs, health checks, docs, or a customer-managed load balancer.
  7. Never set a per-customer image version unless the approved chart package and exception explicitly require it; chart appVersion is the default source.

Read reference.md, lifecycle-contract.md, and source-ledger.md before reviewing a production bundle.

Commands

Inspect the safe interface:

bash skills/galileo-on-prem-agent-control-setup/scripts/setup.sh --help

Render a standalone or overlay bundle from reviewed input:

bash skills/galileo-on-prem-agent-control-setup/scripts/setup.sh \
  --render \
  --spec ./agent-control.local.yaml \
  --galileo-console-url "https://console.demo-v2.galileocloud.io/" \
  --output-dir ./galileo-on-prem-rendered/agent-control

Validate the immutable output without contacting Kubernetes:

bash skills/galileo-on-prem-agent-control-setup/scripts/validate.sh \
  --output-dir ./galileo-on-prem-rendered/agent-control

Standalone mode owns its distinct preflight, status, and lifecycle handoff phases. Preflight/status require --kubeconfig, the exact console URL, and the gates printed by --help. Every non-uninstall preflight also requires a new private --image-evidence-file and --endpoint-evidence-file; they bind the exact bundle, parent target, chart, non-secret value hashes, a value-free Secret path/type influence contract, an all-scalar-redacted render hash, digest-pinned containers, and a credential-free host[:port] inventory derived in memory from non-secret and Secret-backed settings. All historical --apply-* modes are permanent fail-closed sentinels and touch neither the bundle nor Kubernetes. Use the immutable lifecycle.json packet and fresh preflight/image/endpoint evidence in a Galileo/CSE joint session. Umbrella mode emits an overlay only and never mutates a second release.

Completion Gate

Keep completion open until the ownership mode is unique, every non-secret chart/evidence hash matches, required Secret names and keys exist, database migration policy is approved, routing/DNS/TLS are aligned, /health succeeds, UI proxying works, and the agent_control feature flag is verified at its declared precedence.

Troubleshooting

SymptomLikely causeResolution
Dual-ownership rejectionStandalone chart and umbrella proof were both suppliedChoose the single owner proved by the exact package
Chart identity mismatchArchive is not the approved agent-control releaseObtain the correct package and digest from Galileo
Database bootstrap blockedProduction/air-gap policy lacks an exceptionPre-create the database and grants; disable bootstrap
Controls UI is absentUI proxy/flag was not reconciledUpgrade or restart UI after enabling the flag
Direct route failsDNS, route host, or TLS SAN differsMake all three names identical; never use insecure TLS
