Enable the OpAMP Bridge for Kubernetes

Turn on Splunk Remote Management to deploy the OpAMP Bridge with the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector Helm chart.

Starting with Helm chart version 0.162.1, you can run the Splunk Distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector alongside a standalone OpAMP Bridge to use Fleet Management remote configuration. The OpAMP Bridge is de by default.

To enable OpAMP Bridge:

  1. Use the remoteManagement.enabled chart setting to deploy the OpAMP Bridge alongside the Collector.
  2. Install or upgrade the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector Helm chart with remote management enabled.
    CODE
    helm upgrade --install splunk-otel-collector splunk-otel-collector-chart/splunk-otel-collector \
      --set remoteManagement.enabled=true \
      --set splunkObservability.realm=<realm> \
      --set splunkObservability.accessToken=<access-token>
The Helm chart creates a standalone OpAMP Bridge deployment that connects to Splunk Observability Remote. The Bridge manages the agent, gateway, and cluster receiver components that the chart creates when those components are enabled.
