Guided HolmesGPT install mission in KubeStellar Console

[clubanderson]

We built a guided install mission for HolmesGPT inside KubeStellar Console, a standalone Kubernetes dashboard (unrelated to legacy kubestellar/kubestellar, kubeflex, or OCM — zero shared code).

Open the HolmesGPT install mission

What the mission does

The mission runs against your live cluster via kubeconfig. Each step:

1. Pre-flight — checks prerequisites (>=1.24, Ensure you have a Kubernetes cluster running and Helm installed on your local machine.)
2. Commands — shows the exact helm install / kubectl apply with flags explained. Copy-paste or run directly from the console
3. Validation — after each step, queries the cluster to verify success (pod phase, CRD registration, service endpoints)
4. Troubleshooting — on failure, reads pod logs, events, and resource status from your cluster and suggests fixes
5. Rollback — each step includes the corresponding helm uninstall / kubectl delete to undo

Works as read-only documentation too — no cluster connection required to browse.
