🚀 EDOT Quickstart Guide
This guide helps you set up Elastic Distributions for OpenTelemetry (EDOT) to monitor Kubernetes, applications, and hosts. It covers installing the EDOT Collector, enabling auto-instrumentation, and configuring data collection for metrics, logs, and traces in Elastic Observability.
🏁 By the end of this guide, you’ll have a fully operational EDOT-powered monitoring pipeline sending data to Elastic Observability.
Choose the Quickstart guide based on the environment of your target system (Kubernetes, Docker or plain Hosts / VMs) and your Elastic deployment model (Self-managed Elastic Stack, Elastic Cloud Serverless or Elastic Cloud Hosted):
