Additional information

The Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector for Kubernetes is a Helm chart that provides a higher-performance update and clean migration for Splunk Connector for Kubernetes users, with 10x+ performance improvement.

Customers that are migrating from the Splunk Connect for Kubernetes to the new Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector for Kubernetes will notice the following benefits:

• significant logs collection performance improvements with use of OTel native logs vs SCK’s use of FLuentD,
• extensive metrics for the agent itself,
• additional resource metadata,
• alignment with OpenTelemetry metrics and resource naming or retain the existing SCK naming, or both,
• a single agent with options to collect all of their logs, metrics and traces telemetry data and send it on to Splunk platform, Splunk Observability Cloud, and other receivers.
