Helm Install DataKit Operator

Prerequisites: Kubernetes >= 1.14, Helm >= 3.0+.

$ helm install datakit-operator datakit-operator \
     --repo  https://pubrepo.truewatch.com/chartrepo/datakit-operator \

  5. Collect Profiling data: After enabling, more information about the application runtime can be seen.
  6. Enable JVM Metrics collection: Requires simultaneously enabling the statsd collector.
