Logz.io has enhanced its Kubernetes monitoring capabilities by integrating OpenTelemetry instrumentation into its Helm charts, allowing users to extract traces and metrics from various data points in Kubernetes, such as Cadvisor, kube-state-metrics, Prometheus Node Exporter, and Prometheus Push Gateway. This new Helm chart, a fork of the main opentelemetry-collector chart, provides a comprehensive solution for Otel users by combining metrics and tracing, and it offers flexibility by allowing dependencies to be disabled if needed. Users can configure the chart by setting parameters such as the Logz.io shipping token, listener host address, and environment metrics name, with additional customization options available through the values.yaml file. For a detailed installation process, users are directed to consult the official documentation, and they are encouraged to subscribe to the blog for updates and access a free trial of the platform.
