Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: create: failed to create: Request entity too large: limit is 3145728

Installing the chart is not possible anymore.

Simple installation via helm:

helm install cloudwatch-container-insights aws-observability/adot-exporter-for-eks-on-ec2 -f values.yml

will fail with:

Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: create: failed to create: Request entity too large: limit is 3145728

I think the documentation directory can be safely added to .helmignore

I can confirm the same error here. Attempting to install the chart with the command helm install <name> <my repo name>/adot-exporter-for-eks-on-ec2 --set clusterName=<my cluster name> --set awsRegion=<my region> gives create: failed to create: Request entity too large: limit is 3145728.

It does seem like the only remedy for this on managed kubernetes is to reduce the size of the chart to below 3 megabytes and adding things like docs to the .helmignore would be the first thing to try.

Would bet those screenshots in the docs are what is pushing it over the limit: https://github.com/aws-observability/aws-otel-helm-charts/tree/master/charts/adot-exporter-for-eks-on-ec2/documentation/screenshots.

PDF alone is 1.28 MB in size and 2 screeenshots together add another ~ 1MB.

@alolita @ruthvik17 , Just FYI. Can someone fix this quickly ?

[sunnygoel87]

@steveellis @AndreiBanaruTakeda - The issue has been fixed. I was able to deploy the Helm chart successfully. Please try and let us know if you still face the same issue. Thanks.

@sunnygoel87 I can confirm on my end that with the new version 0.3.1 this error is gone.

Closing this issue since the error has been resolved.
