Step 1: Deploy a supported OpenTelemetry Collector

Deploy a supported OpenTelemetry collector if you haven't already done so.

Context

Deploy a supported OpenTelemetry collector if it's not already deployed. If it's already deployed, upgrade it to a supported version.

Note: You can use either the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector or the community (upstream) collector.

Supported OpenTelemetry collectors

The following minimum versions are required for Secure Application functionality that uses the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector on Kubernetes with Helm:

Easiest deployment option

The easiest option is to deploy the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector on Kubernetes with Helm chart version splunk-otel-collector-0.137.0 or above. This Helm chart is preconfigured with everything you need for Secure Application.

Tip:

This section contains deployment instructions specific to Secure Application. For complete instructions see Collector for Kubernetesを使い始める.

  1. Add the Helm repository:
    CODE 
    helm repo add splunk-otel-collector-chart https://signalfx.github.io/splunk-otel-collector-chart
  2. Install the collector, with splunkObservability.secureAppEnabled set to true on the helm install command:
    CODE 
    helm install my-splunk-otel-collector --set="splunkObservability.secureAppEnabled=true,splunkObservability.realm=us0,splunkObservability.accessToken=xxxxxx,clusterName=my-cluster" splunk-otel-collector-chart/splunk-otel-collector

See Helm chart installation examples that have Secure Application enabled:
