Red Hat build of MicroShift

Select a small configuration

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

Procedure

Select a small configuration by adding the following information to the /etc/microshift/observability/opentelemetry-collector.yaml file:

 receivers:
  kubeletstats:
    auth_type: tls
    ca_file: /var/lib/microshift/certs/ca-bundle/client-ca.crt
    key_file: /var/lib/microshift/certs/admin-kubeconfig-signer/openshift-observability-client/client.key
    cert_file: /var/lib/microshift/certs/admin-kubeconfig-signer/openshift-observability-client/client.crt
    insecure_skip_verify: true
    collection_interval: 10s
    endpoint: "${env:K8S_NODE_NAME}:10250"
    node: ${env:K8S_NODE_NAME}
    k8s_api_config:
      auth_type: kubeConfig
  k8s_events:
    auth_type: kubeConfig
processors:
  batch:
  resourcedetection/system:
    detectors: [ "system" ]
    system:
      hostname_sources: [ "os" ]
exporters:
  otlp:
    sending_queue:
      storage: file_storage
    endpoint: ${env:OTEL_BACKEND}:4317
    tls:
      insecure: true
extensions:
  file_storage:
    directory: /var/lib/microshift-observability
service:
  extensions: [ file_storage ]
  pipelines:
    metrics/kubeletstats:
      receivers: [ kubeletstats ]
      processors: [ batch ]
      exporters: [ otlp ]
    logs/kube_events:
      receivers: [ k8s_events ]
      processors: [ resourcedetection/system, batch ]
      exporters: [ otlp ]
  telemetry:
    metrics:
      readers:
        - periodic:
            exporter:
              otlp:
                protocol: http/protobuf
                endpoint: http://${env:OTEL_BACKEND}:4318

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 service logs.

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