OpenTelemetry

Ingest and visualize OTEL data with groundcover

groundcover supports ingesting different data types in the OTEL format, displaying them natively in the platform. For more information see the following subpages:

For more customization options see Traces & Logs, Metrics

The configuration below is meant to setup OTLP ingestion from a a single service in an environment with default installation of groundcover.

Apply the following environment variables to the instrumented service to redirect all signals - traces, logs and metrics - to groundcover's ingestion endpoint inside your cluster.

env:
  - name: OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT
    value: http://groundcover-sensor.groundcover.svc.cluster.local:4318/v1/traces
  - name: OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT
    value: http://groundcover-sensor.groundcover.svc.cluster.local:4318/v1/logs
  - name: OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT
    value: http://custom-metrics.groundcover.svc.cluster.local:8429/opentelemetry/api/v1/push
