Kubernetes Deployment Reference to Send Traces

If you're working with Kubernetes, you can ship your traces to Logz.io using a Helm chart, via the OpenTelemetry collector.

The following guide will walk you through how to get your Tracing account token and how to configure and send your Helm chart to Logz.io.

The main repository for Logz.io helm charts are logzio-helm.

Our Helm chart is designed to automatically set up your tracing environment, simplifying the process of sending traces to Logz.io. This feature ensures a hassle-free setup, allowing you to focus on your Kubernetes deployment without worrying about manual configurations.

For a more streamlined connection process, refer to our Easy Connect guide.
