Deploy the Amazon Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Collector for X-Ray

You can deploy the Amazon Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Collector to send traces to X-Ray by applying a YAML configuration file. This procedure downloads an example YAML file that you can apply to your cluster.

  1. Download the collector-config-xray.yaml file to your computer. You can also view the file on GitHub.

    curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws-observability/aws-otel-community/master/sample-configs/operator/collector-config-xray.yaml

  2. In collector-config-xray.yaml, replace the following with your own values:

    • mode: deployment (for more information, see the ADOT Collector installation instructions on GitHub)

    • serviceAccount: adot-collector

    • region: "<YOUR_AWS_REGION>"

  3. Apply the YAML file to your cluster to deploy the ADOT Collector:

    kubectl apply -f collector-config-xray.yaml

  4. (Optional) Verify trace data is being sent to X-Ray by opening the X-Ray console and select Traces from the left menu. Your trace data should be present.
