OpenTelemetry Collector + LGTM (Grafana stack) Umbrella Helm Chart for Development only

OpenTelemetry Collector + LGTM (Grafana stack) Umbrella Helm Chart for Development only

⚠️ This chart should be used as a tool for development only, and preferably locally (with a tool like Minikube).

Usage

Deployment

To use this chart, you can run these commands:

# Add the specific repository
helm repo add otel-lgtm-dev https://lerenn.github.io/packages/helm/otel-lgtm-dev

# Install the chart
helm upgrade --install lgtm otel-lgtm-dev/otel-lgtm-dev
# Add these arguments to separate to another namespace as it will pop a lot of resources:
# `--namespace <namespace> --create-namespace`

Link to application

Everything is customizable through the values.yaml. However, to use it out of the box, you should use one of these two variables as connection for your application opentelemetry exporters:

• gRPC: lgtm-opentelemetry-collector.<namespace>:4317
• HTTP: lgtm-opentelemetry-collector.<namespace>:4318

Important: for ease of use, TLS is disabled, you should add an argument to enable the insecure connection.

Display the Grafana interface

To access the Grafana interface, you should execute this command on a terminal:

kubectl port-forward -n <namespace> service/lgtm-grafana 8080:80

Then you can access the Grafana interface on localhost:8080.
