Red Hat build of MicroShift

Select a large configuration

You can configure MicroShift Observability to collect the maximum amount of performance and resource information, from the maximum number of sources, by updating the YAML file.

Procedure

Select a large configuration by adding the following information to the /etc/microshift/observability/opentelemetry-collector.yaml file. Large is the default configuration.

Replace the variable ${env:OTEL_BACKEND} with the IP address or hostname of the remote back end. This IP address resolves to the local node’s hostname. Any unreachable endpoint is reported in the microshift-observability service logs.

Restart MicroShift Observability to complete the configuration selection by entering the following command:
```
$ sudo systemctl restart microshift-observability
```
