Traces Integrations

Kloudfuse supports OpenTelemetry standard for Application Performance Management (APM) and distributed tracing. However, Kloudfuse allows you to keep your existing instrumentation and agents/collectors for distributed tracing. The following table lists the various supported instrumentation/SDKs and agents/collectors.

Instrumentation/SDK	Agent/Collector	Configuration

Instrumentation/SDK	Agent/Collector	Configuration
Datadog	Datadog Agent	Enable apm and point `apm_dd_url` to kloudfuse ingester endpoint
OpenTelemetry	OpenTelemetry collector	otlphttp exporter
Elastic APM Agent (all languages)	No additional collector required	Point ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL environment variable to kloudfuse ingester endpoint

OpenTelemetry (Otel) Collector:

Helm Installation:

Get the IP for the Kloudfuse endpoint with the following kubectl command (note: if kfuse stack is installed with a DNS or VPC Endpoint then use that address instead of IP address):

kubectl get svc -n kfuse | grep kfuse-ingress-nginx-controller-internal
kfuse-ingress-nginx-controller-internal   LoadBalancer   10.53.250.80    10.53.232.3   80:32716/TCP,443:30767/TCP   125m

Create a file called otel-values.yaml containing following (note the use of the IP address from above and therefore the tls.insecure set to true. By default this is always true) and replace the endpoint accordingly. Ensure that https or http is used depending if Kfuse has tls enabled or disabled.

Please add any tolerations & affinity as required with your deployment.

Install collector with following steps using the created otel-values.yaml file

# Add otel repo and update
helm repo add open-telemetry https://open-telemetry.github.io/opentelemetry-helm-charts
helm repo update
# Install otel collector:
helm install my-opentelemetry-collector open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector -f otel-values.yaml

Note: The above instructions install the collector in daemonset mode. Please review the otel-collector documentation for additional modes and more configuration options.

Datadog Agent:

Configure the datadog agent with apm_dd_url set to the Kloudfuse ingester. You can find the Kloudfuse Platform ingress internal IP with the following kubectl command (note: if kfuse stack is installed with a DNS or VPC Endpoint then use that address instead of IP address):

In the Datadog agent yaml, add the apm_config section with apm_dd_url pointing to the Kloudfuse ingester.
