## Overview

This repository is LogicMonitor’s collection of installable Helm charts. The principal workflow is for an operator to select a chart, configure its values, and use Helm to deploy the corresponding collector or agent into Kubernetes. The chart families cover traditional collectors, OpenTelemetry agents, log collection, and CollectorSet management, with supporting container and release-manager charts. The README documents adding the Helm repository; chart names and template directories indicate deployment roles. Source excerpts were limited, so runtime wiring beyond chart rendering and Kubernetes deployment is not asserted.

Main entry points: [`charts/collectorset-controller`](https://github.com/logicmonitor/helm-charts-qa/tree/main/charts/collectorset-controller) (CollectorSet controller chart), [`charts/argus`](https://github.com/logicmonitor/helm-charts-qa/tree/main/charts/argus) (Argus chart), [`charts/argus/templates`](https://github.com/logicmonitor/helm-charts-qa/tree/main/charts/argus/templates) (Argus templates), [`charts/lm-logs`](https://github.com/logicmonitor/helm-charts-qa/tree/main/charts/lm-logs) (Log collection chart)
