Install the Observe Agent

This wizard guides you through setting up the Observe Agent, enabling Observe to monitor your Kubernetes environment. The process deploys the Observe distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector via Helm to collect metrics and logs from Kubernetes clusters.

You can find installation instructions specific to your environment by visiting the Add Data page in the left navigation bar and selecting the Kubernetes tile.

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

Refer to agent documentation to learn about node affinity, filtering logs and metrics, and prometheus autodiscovery.

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
