SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Install CNCF projects into an OpenTelemetry evaluation cluster and configure telemetry export so that traces, metrics, and logs flow to the collector.

Core Features & Use Cases

Research the project's observability capabilities and document RESEARCH.md in .otel-eval/<project-name>/
Create an installation plan in .otel-eval/<project-name>/INSTALL-PLAN.md detailing method, version pinning, and telemetry configuration
Install the project using Helm or recommended method into a dedicated namespace named after the project
Configure telemetry export to OTLP or Prometheus and adjust collector as needed
Generate traffic to exercise the instrumentation and validate telemetry flow
Save all Helm values, manifests, and configuration notes to .otel-eval/<project-name>/

Quick Start

Provide the CNCF project name to begin the installation workflow.

FAQPage Schema

How do I install CNCF projects with OpenTelemetry instrumentation in Kubernetes?▼

Validate OpenTelemetry traces by generating traffic against the freshly installed CNCF project to exercise its instrumentation. This confirms that traces, metrics, and logs successfully flow to the configured collector endpoint.

How do I configure Helm values for exporting telemetry to an OpenTelemetry collector?▼

Pin Helm chart versions and document the installation method and telemetry configuration in an INSTALL-PLAN.md file. This ensures reproducible OpenTelemetry evaluation cluster setups across different CNCF project deployments.

Can I install Linkerd or Traefik into an OpenTelemetry evaluation cluster using Helm?▼

Document research findings and installation manifests under a specific project directory. This includes saving an INSTALL-PLAN.md and Helm values to ensure the CNCF project's telemetry configuration is fully traceable and reproducible.

What is the best way to validate traces and metrics after installing a CNCF project?▼

The best way to validate traces and metrics is to generate traffic against the installed CNCF project. This exercises the instrumentation and verifies that telemetry data correctly flows to the OpenTelemetry collector.
