This AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Helm Charts repository contains Helm charts to provide easy mechanisms to setup the ADOT Collector and other collection agents to collect telemetry data such as metrics, logs and traces to send to AWS monitoring services.

This repository contains a Helm chart to provide easy to operate, end-to-end AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) on AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) monitoring with AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry(ADOT) Collector for metrics. This Helm chart is useful for customers who use EKS on EC2 and want to collect metrics to send to Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights and Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus(AMP).

Helm must be installed to use the chart. Please refer to Helm's documentation to get started.

Once Helm is set up properly, add this repo as follows:

$ helm repo add aws-observability https://aws-observability.github.io/aws-otel-helm-charts
$ helm search repo aws-observability # Run this command in order to see the charts.

There is planned work in the upstream OpenTelemetry repositories to stabilize logs in 2023, and so that means that our Helm Chart will have to be updated to reflect these eventual changes. The changes required for our Helm Chart include:

• Removing the Fluent Bit logging templates
• Removing the Fargate logging templates

Therefore, we recommend revising any code that utilizes these templates by December 30th, 2022 or continue to use the version of the Helm Chart that pre-dates December 30th, 2022 to avoid any issues. Once logs are stabilized upstream and implemented into our Helm Chart in 2023, a new version of the Helm Chart will be released and users may upgrade to this instance instead. Thank you for your cooperation.
