Lumigo Kubernetes Operator

The distributed tracing of Node.js and Python applications running on Amazon EKS or other flavors of Kubernetes is entirely automated via the Lumigo Kubernetes operator (on ArtifactHub).

Using the Lumigo Kubernetes operator is as simple as:

1. Install the Lumigo Kubernetes operator on your cluster via Helm

helm repo add lumigo https://lumigo-io.github.io/lumigo-kubernetes-operator
helm install lumigo lumigo/lumigo-operator --namespace lumigo-system --create-namespace

2. Create a Kubernetes secret containing the Lumigo Token, and a Lumigo resource pointing to it:

📘

Important note

Don't create the secret and the custom resource in lumigo-system. Instead, create them in the namespace that contains the application you wish to onboard to Lumigo.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: lumigo-credentials
stringData:
  token: YOUR_LUMIGO_TOKEN # Example: t_123456789012345678901
---
apiVersion: operator.lumigo.io/v1alpha1
kind: Lumigo
metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: lumigo
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: lumigo
    app.kubernetes.io/part-of: lumigo-operator
  name: lumigo
spec:
  lumigoToken:
    secretRef:
      name: lumigo-credentials # This must match the name of the secret; the secret must be in the same namespace as this Lumigo custom resource
      key: token # This must match the key in the Kubernetes secret

Change YOUR_LUMIGO_TOKEN to the Lumigo Token of your project.

The Lumigo Kubernetes operator will update your deployments, daemonsets, replicasets, statefulsets, cronjobs and jobs to be traced with the Lumigo OpenTelemetry Distro for Node.js and Lumigo OpenTelemetry Distro for Python.

More detailed instructions are available in the Lumigo Kubernetes operator repository on GitHub.
