Installation instructions

Use the Add Data portal to guide you through setting up the Observe Agent so that Observe can monitor your Kubernetes environment. The process deploys the Observe distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector via Helm to collect metrics and logs from Kubernetes clusters.

1. In Observe, select Data & integrations> Add Data from the navigation bar.
2. Select Kubernetes.
3. Select the Install tab, then follow the instructions on that page.

You can customize the Observe Agent to meet your specific needs by modifying the values.yaml file.

See Install in Kubernetes environment to learn about node affinity, filtering logs and metrics, and Prometheus autodiscovery.

Update the Observe Agent

To upgrade the Observe Agent, use the helm upgrade command to apply the new configurations in the values.yaml file:

helm upgrade observe-agent observe/agent -n observe -f values.yaml
