Part 1: Install the Collector and get Kubernetes data into Splunk Observability Cloud 🔗
Before deploying the OpenTelemetry Collector, you must have a running Kubernetes cluster. For an overview of the tutorial, see Tutorial: Monitor your Kubernetes environment in Splunk Observability Cloud.
注釈
To ensure a seamless flow from this task to Part 2: Monitor your Kubernetes cluster, make sure that your infrastructure host or cluster is generating data that Splunk Observability Cloud can receive. For example, even if the guided setup you use in this tutorial provides confirmation of a valid connection, the navigators don’t appear unless your infrastructure is actively sending data to Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring.
Get Kubernetes data into Splunk Observability Cloud 🔗
Splunk Observability Cloud にログインします。
Select the Add Integration button or, in the left navigation menu, select Data Management to open the Integrate Your Data page.
Select Deploy the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector, and select Next. The Install Configuration screen displays.
In the Platform menu, select Kubernetes. The setup guide opens.
Enter the values applicable to your environment to configure the Collector instance.
Select Next. The Installation Instructions screen displays. Based on your entries in the Configure Integration screen, the guided setup provides commands that you can copy and paste to install the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector on your selected platform.
Start your Kubernetes cluster, and use the commands from the Configure Integration screen to deploy the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector. The following image shows a successful installation of the Collector:
Once you have deployed the Collector, return to the Configure Integration screen and select Next. The Review Inventory screen shows a summary of your Kubernetes data.
(Optional) Select Explore Metric Data to further interact with your data.
Next step 🔗
This completes the first part of the tutorial. You’ve deployed the Collector onto your Kubernetes cluster and confirmed that data is flowing into Splunk Observability Cloud.
Next, learn how to monitor your Kubernetes data using built-in dashboards and navigators. To continue, see Part 2: Monitor your Kubernetes cluster.
