Unified Helm Chart

The logzio-monitoring Helm Chart ships your Kubernetes telemetry (logs, metrics, traces and security reports) to your Logz.io account.

Before you integrate Kubernetes you'll need:

Prerequisites

  • Helm

  • Add Logzio-helm repository

    helm repo add logzio-helm https://logzio.github.io/logzio-helm && helm repo update

Send All Telemetry Data (logs, metrics, traces and security reports)

Send all of your telemetry data using one single Helm chart:

helm install  -n monitoring --create-namespace \
--set logs.enabled=true \
--set logzio-logs-collector.secrets.logzioLogsToken="<<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>" \
--set logzio-logs-collector.secrets.logzioRegion="<<LOGZIO-REGION>>" \
--set logzio-logs-collector.secrets.env_id="<<CLUSTER-NAME>>" \
--set metricsOrTraces.enabled=true \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.metrics.enabled=true \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.secrets.MetricsToken="<<METRICS-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>" \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.secrets.ListenerHost="https://<<LISTENER-HOST>>:8053" \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.secrets.p8s_logzio_name="<<ENV-ID>>" \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.traces.enabled=true \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.secrets.TracesToken="<<TRACING-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>" \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.secrets.LogzioRegion="<<LOGZIO-REGION>>" \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.spm.enabled=true \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.secrets.env_id="<<ENV-ID>>" \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.secrets.SpmToken="<<SPM-ACCOUNT-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>" \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.serviceGraph.enabled=true \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.k8sObjectsConfig.enabled=true \
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.secrets.k8sObjectsLogsToken="<<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>" \
--set securityReport.enabled=true \
--set logzio-trivy.env_id="<<ENV-ID>>" \
--set logzio-trivy.secrets.logzioShippingToken="<<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>" \
--set logzio-trivy.secrets.logzioListener="<<LISTENER-HOST>>" \
--set deployEvents.enabled=true \
--set logzio-k8s-events.secrets.logzioShippingToken="<<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>" \
--set logzio-k8s-events.secrets.logzioListener="<<LISTENER-HOST>>" \
--set logzio-k8s-events.secrets.env_id="<<ENV-ID>>" \
logzio-monitoring logzio-helm/logzio-monitoring
ParameterDescription
<<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>Your logs shipping token.
<<LISTENER-HOST>>Your account's listener host.
<<METRICS-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>Your metrics shipping token.
<<SPM-ACCOUNT-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>Your SPM account shipping token
<<ENV-ID>>The name for your environment's identifier, to easily identify the telemetry data for each environment.
<<TRACING-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>Your traces shipping token.
<<LOGZIO-REGION>>Your Logz.io region code

Manual Setup

Below are instructions for configuring each type of telemetry data individually.

Send your Logs

To send your logs, our chartlogzio-monitoring offers two methods:

  • logzio-logs-collector, based on OpenTelemetry collector
  • logzio-fluentd, based on fluentd

Log collection with OpenTelemetry collector

helm install -n monitoring --create-namespace \
--set logs.enabled=true \
--set logzio-logs-collector.secrets.logzioLogsToken="<<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>" \
--set logzio-logs-collector.secrets.logzioRegion="<<LOGZIO-REGION>>" \
--set logzio-logs-collector.secrets.env_id="<<CLUSTER-NAME>>" \
logzio-monitoring logzio-helm/logzio-monitoring

Log collection with Fluentd

The logzio-fluentd chart is disabled by default in favor of the logzio-logs-collector chart. Deploy logzio-fluentd by adding the following --set flags:

helm install -n monitoring --create-namespace \
--set logs.enabled=true \
--set logzio-fluentd.enabled=true \
--set logzio-logs-collector.enabled=false \
--set logzio-fluentd.secrets.logzioShippingToken="<<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>" \
--set logzio-fluentd.secrets.logzioListener="<<LISTENER-HOST>>" \
--set logzio-fluentd.env_id="<<CLUSTER-NAME>>" \
logzio-monitoring logzio-helm/logzio-monitoring
ParameterDescription
<<LOG-SHIPPING-TOKEN>>Your logs shipping token.
<<LISTENER-HOST>>Your account's listener host.
<<CLUSTER-NAME>>The cluster's name, to easily identify the telemetry data for each environment.
<<LOGZIO-REGION>>Your Logz.io region code.

Encounter an issue? See our troubleshooting guide.

Custom Configuration

You can view the full list of possible configuration options for each chart in the links below:

  1. logzio-fluentd Chart
  2. logzio-logs-collector Chart

To modify values, use the --set flag with the chart name as a prefix.

Example: For a parameter called someField in the logzio-logs-collector's values.yaml file, set it by adding the following to the helm install command:

--set logzio-logs-collector.someField="my new value"

Adding log_type annotation with a custom value will be parsed into a log_type field with the same value.

Advanced Configuration and Troubleshooting

Handling image pull rate limit

Docker Hub pull rate limits could result in the following error: You have reached your pull rate limit. You may increase the limit by authenticating and upgrading: https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limits. To avoid this, use the --set commands below to access an alternative image repository:

--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.image.repository=ghcr.io/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/opentelemetry-collector-contrib
--set logzio-k8s-telemetry.prometheus-pushgateway.image.repository=public.ecr.aws/logzio/prom-pushgateway
--set logzio-fluentd.image=public.ecr.aws/logzio/logzio-fluentd
--set logzio-fluentd.daemonset.init.containerImage=public.ecr.aws/docker/library/busybox
--set logzio-trivy.image=public.ecr.aws/logzio/trivy-to-logzio
