Kubernetes

HyperDX uses the OpenTelemetry collector to collect logs from Kubernetes clusters and forward it to your account. We support the native OpenTelemtry log format and require no additional vendor-specific configuration.

Getting started with deploying the OpenTelemtry collector in your Kubernetes cluster is easy.

This Guide Integrates:

To send over metrics or APM/traces, you'll need to add the corresponding language integration to your application as well.

Creating a Values File for the OpenTelemetry Collector Helm Chart

Using the OpenTelemetry Collector Helm Chart with HyperDX requires a values.yaml to be specified and passed into the Helm install command.

First create a values.yaml file with the following contents:

# values.yaml
mode: daemonset
presets:
  logsCollection:
    enabled: true
    includeCollectorLogs: true
config:
  exporters:
    otlphttp:
      endpoint: 'https://in-otel.hyperdx.io'
      headers:
        authorization: '<YOUR_HYPERDX_API_KEY_HERE>'
      compression: gzip
  service:
    pipelines:
      logs:
        exporters:
          - otlphttp

Deploying the OpenTelemetry Collector

The OpenTelemetry collector can now be deployed in your Kubernetes cluster using the OpenTelemtry Helm Chart (opens in a new tab).

Add the OpenTelemetry Helm repo:

helm repo add open-telemetry https://open-telemetry.github.io/opentelemetry-helm-charts # Add Otel Helm repo

Install the chart with the above config:

helm install my-opentelemetry-collector open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector -f values.yaml

Now the logs from your Kubernetes cluster should now appear inside your HyperDX account.
