Validation

Open in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Confirm that Kubernetes Observability using OpenTelemetry is running and sending cluster telemetry to Coralogix.

Check the collectors are running

List the pods in the namespace you deployed into:

kubectl get pods -o wide -n $NAMESPACE

Two sets of pods should report Running:

Pod	Name pattern
OpenTelemetry cluster collector	coralogix-opentelemetry-collector-xxx
Kube State Metrics	otel-integration-kube-state-metrics-xxx

If either is missing or stuck, go to troubleshooting.

Deploy the extension package

The Kubernetes OpenTelemetry extension package ships predefined parsing rules, alerts, Grafana dashboards, saved views, and actions, so you are not building them from scratch.

1.

Open the extension

Select Data Flow, then Extensions, then Kubernetes OpenTelemetry at its latest Version.

2.

Scope it

Select the Applications and Subsystems carrying your Kubernetes telemetry, or All for both.

3.

Deploy

Review the rules, alerts, and dashboards it will create, then select Deploy.

Shows what the extension installs, with the version, application, and subsystem selectors above it.

Next steps

If telemetry is not arriving as expected, work through troubleshooting.
