Prerequisites
-
Elastic Stack (self-managed or Elastic Cloud) version 8.16.0 or higher, or an Elasticsearch serverless project.
-
A Kubernetes version supported by the OpenTelemetry Operator (refer to the operator’s compatibility matrix for more details).
-
If you opt for automatic certificate generation and renewal on the OpenTelemetry Operator, you need to install cert-manager in the Kubernetes cluster. By default, the operator installation uses a self-signed certificate and doesn’t require cert-manager.
Compatibility Matrix
The minimum supported version of the Elastic Stack for OpenTelemetry-based monitoring on Kubernetes is 8.16.0. Different Elastic Stack releases support specific versions of the kube-stack Helm chart.
The following is the current list of supported versions:
| Stack Version | Helm chart Version | Values file |
|---|---|---|
| Serverless | 0.3.3 | values.yaml |
| 8.16.0 | 0.3.3 | values.yaml |
| 8.17.0 | 0.3.3 | values.yaml |
| 8.17.3 | 0.3.3 | values.yaml |
When installing the release, ensure you use the right --version and -f <values-file> parameters.
