Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector for Kubernetes installation¶
The below steps are sufficient for a Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector installation for the SC4SNMP project with Splunk Enterprise/Enterprise Cloud. In order to learn more about Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector visit Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector.
Add Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector repository to HELM¶
microk8s helm3 repo add splunk-otel-collector-chart https://signalfx.github.io/splunk-otel-collector-chart
Install Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector with HELM for a Splunk Platform¶
In order to run Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector on your environment, replace <> variables according to the description presented below
microk8s helm3 upgrade --install sck \
--set="clusterName=<cluster_name>" \
--set="splunkPlatform.endpoint=<splunk_endpoint>" \
--set="splunkPlatform.insecureSkipVerify=<insecure_skip_verify>" \
--set="splunkPlatform.token=<splunk_token>" \
--set="logsEngine=otel" \
--set="splunkPlatform.metricsEnabled=true" \
--set="splunkPlatform.metricsIndex=em_metrics" \
--set="splunkPlatform.index=em_logs" \
splunk-otel-collector-chart/splunk-otel-collector
Variables description¶
| Placeholder | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| splunk_endpoint | host address of splunk instance | https://endpoint.example.com:8088/services/collector |
| insecure_skip_verify | is insecure ssl allowed | false |
| splunk_token | Splunk HTTP Event Collector token | 450a69af-16a9-4f87-9628-c26f04ad3785 |
| cluster_name | name of the cluster | my-cluster |
An example of filled up command is:
microk8s helm3 upgrade --install sck \
--set="clusterName=my-cluster" \
--set="splunkPlatform.endpoint=https://endpoint.example.com/services/collector" \
--set="splunkPlatform.insecureSkipVerify=false" \
--set="splunkPlatform.token=4d22911c-18d9-4706-ae7b-dd1b976ca6f7" \
--set="splunkPlatform.metricsEnabled=true" \
--set="splunkPlatform.metricsIndex=em_metrics" \
--set="splunkPlatform.index=em_logs" \
