AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT)

Install/upgrade/uninstall ADOT

If you have not already done so, make sure your cluster meets the package prerequisites. Be sure to refer to the troubleshooting guide in the event of a problem.

Important

Starting at eksctl anywhere version v0.12.0, packages on workload clusters are remotely managed by the management cluster.
While following this guide to install packages on a workload cluster, please make sure the kubeconfig is pointing to the management cluster that was used to create the workload cluster. The only exception is the kubectl create namespace command below, which should be run with kubeconfig pointing to the workload cluster.

Install

Generate the package configuration

eksctl anywhere generate package adot --cluster <cluster-name> > adot.yaml

Add the desired configuration to adot.yaml

Please see complete configuration options for all configuration options and their default values.

Example package file with daemonSet mode and default configuration:

 apiVersion: packages.eks.amazonaws.com/v1alpha1
 kind: Package
 metadata:
   name: my-adot
   namespace: eksa-packages-<cluster-name>
 spec:
   packageName: adot
   targetNamespace: observability
   config: | 
     mode: daemonset

Example package file with deployment mode and customized collector components to scrap ADOT collector’s own metrics:

 apiVersion: packages.eks.amazonaws.com/v1alpha1
 kind: Package
 metadata:
   name: my-adot
   namespace: eksa-packages-<cluster-name>
 spec:
   packageName: adot
   targetNamespace: observability
   config: | 
     mode: deployment
     replicaCount: 2
     config:
       receivers:
         prometheus:
           config:
             scrape_configs:
               - job_name: opentelemetry-collector
                 scrape_interval: 10s
                 static_configs:
                   - targets:
                       - ${MY_POD_IP}:8888
       processors:
         batch: {}
         memory_limiter: null
       exporters:
         logging:
           loglevel: debug
         prometheusremotewrite:
           endpoint: "<prometheus-remote-write-end-point>"
       extensions:
         health_check: {}
         memory_ballast: {}
       service:
         pipelines:
           metrics:
             receivers: [prometheus]
             processors: [batch]
             exporters: [logging, prometheusremotewrite]
         telemetry:
           metrics:
             address: 0.0.0.0:8888

Create the namespace (If overriding targetNamespace, change observability to the value of targetNamespace)
```
kubectl create namespace observability
```

Install adot

eksctl anywhere create packages -f adot.yaml

Validate the installation

eksctl anywhere get packages --cluster <cluster-name>

Example command output
