OpenTelemetry Demo Helm Chart

This helm chart installs the OpenTelemetry Demo in a kubernetes cluster and sends telemetry data to Datadog Backend using either ingest mode (datadog agent) or exporter mode (otel collector + datadog exporter).

Prerequisites

• Helm 3.0+

Installing the Chart

Clone the chart:

git clone [email protected]:DataDog/opentelemetry-helm-charts.git
cd opentelemetry-helm-charts/opentelemetry-demo-datadogv2

Create a secret with your datadog api key (alternatively you may update the secret in agent-ingest.yaml/collector-exporter.yaml or --set it when installing):

kubectl create secret generic datadog-secrets --from-literal api-key=<YOUR_KEY_HERE>

To install the chart with the release name my-otel-demo using ingest mode, run the following command:

helm install my-otel-demo --values ./agent-ingest.yaml .

Alternatively, you may run the following command to install the chart using exporter mode:

helm install my-otel-demo --values ./collector-exporter.yaml .
