Install Splunk OTel Collector Using kubectl CLI

Install the Cluster Agent Operator using the cluster-agent-operator.yaml file.
```
kubectl create -f cluster-agent-operator.yaml -n appdynamics
```
If Cluster Agent is already installed, you can ignore this step.
(Optional) If you do not require Cluster Agent to monitor the infrastructure along with the OTel collector, then set the value of disableClusterAgentMonitoring to true in the cluster-agent.yaml file. The value is set to false by default.
This configuration allows infrastructure monitoring only through OTel collector. Also, if you have configured Cluster Agent to auto-instrument the supported agents, those will also get instrumented.
This is an example yaml file:
```
clusterAgent:
  appName: splunk-test-7
  logLevel: debug
  nsToMonitorRegex: "demo|fgh"
  enableAdditionalMetrics: true
  clusterMetricsSyncInterval: 60
  metadataSyncInterval: 60
  eventUploadInterval: 10
  httpClientTimeout: 30
  disableClusterAgentMonitoring: true
            
```
Note: The disableClusterAgentMonitoring value takes precedence over sim.cluster.monitoring.enabled. Therefore, if you set the disableClusterAgentMonitoring value to true then Cluster Agent stops the infrastructure monitoring even when sim.cluster.monitoring.enabled is set to the default value, true.

Install Cluster Agent.

kubectl create -f cluster-agent-cli.yaml -n appdynamics

Clone the Splunk OTel Collector repository from Github repository to the same location where you have installed Cluster Agent.
Run the following command to create the required resources from the rendered_manifests directory:
```
kubectl create -f ./rendered_manifests --recursive
```
In the rendered_manifests directory, update the secret-splunk.yaml file with the base64 encoded value of splunk_observability_access_token.

For details related to Splunk Observability access token, see Create and manage organization access tokens using Splunk Observability Cloud.
In the rendered_manifests directory, update the configmap-cluster-receiver.yaml file with the following details:

Parameter Description
k8s.cluster.name The name of the cluster.
api_url The URL of the OTel Collector API endpoint.
ingest_url The URL of the OTel Collector ingestion endpoint.
