# Create a cmdb\_ci\_linux\_server CI for each Kubernetes node

Configure if you want the Kubernetes Visibility Agent Informer to create a cmdb\_ci\_linux\_server CI for each Kubernetes node.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## About this task

By default, the Informer creates a cmdb\_ci\_linux\_server CI for every Kubernetes node. If this CI is redundant or interferes with other flows in your organization, you can set the associated configuration parameter to false.

## Procedure

1.  Do one of the following:

    -   When using a Helm chart, in the Helm install command, set the **createServerCi** parameter to false:

        `--set createServerCi=false`

    -   When using the k8s\_informer.yaml file, set the environment variable CREATE\_SERVER\_CI to false.
