3.3. Selecting a MicroShift Observability configuration

The amount and complexity of the data depends on predefined configurations. These configurations determine the number of data sources and the amount of collected data that is transmitted. These configurations are defined as small, medium, and large (default).

The opentelemetry-collector.yaml file includes specific parameters that are used to collect data for monitoring the system resources. All warnings for cluster events are included in the collected data. MicroShift Observability collects and transmits data for the following resources:

Replace the values of the exporters.otlp.endpoint and services.telemetry.metrics.readers[0].endpoint fields with the IP address or host name of the remote back end. This IP address resolves to the local node’s host name. Any unreachable endpoint is reported in the MicroShift observability service logs.
