Feb 1, 2025February 2025 — SolarWinds swi-k8s-opentelemetry-collector: delivered targeted instrumentation, CI/testing, and manifest stability improvements that reduce risk, speed troubleshooting, and improve deployment reliability. Key features delivered include Helm chart documentation improvements with guidance to limit collector instrumentation using five filters, plus configuration examples for namespace- and deployment-based data collection and documentation of the global namespace filter usage introduced in v4.4.0+. CI workflow enhancements and test environment simplification reduce test complexity by disabling persistent storage for Helm tests and adding post-job visibility steps to display all resources, aiding debugging even on failures. A major bug fix updated Kubernetes manifests to correct PVC access mode from ReadWriteMany to ReadWriteOnce and updated the Helm chart version accordingly. These changes improve user onboarding, reduce misconfigurations, and enhance stability across deployments, demonstrating strong proficiency in Kubernetes, Helm, OpenTelemetry instrumentation, and CI/CD practices.
