# NGINX Service Mesh
|
|
|
|
[NGINX Service Mesh](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-service-mesh/) is a fully integrated lightweight service mesh that leverages a data plane powered by NGINX Plus to manage container traffic in Kubernetes environments.
|
|
|
|
NGINX Service Mesh is supported in Rancher 2.5+ when deploying from the Apps and Marketplace. NGINX Service Mesh is not currently supported on k3s.
|
|
|
|
## Enabling telemetry
|
|
|
|
Telemetry can only be enabled by editing the configuration YAML directly in the Rancher UI. When installing NGINX Service Mesh, select the `Edit YAML` option. To enable telemetry, set the `tracing` object to `{}` and fill out the `telemetry` object.
|
|
The telemetry object expects a `samplerRatio`, and the `host` and `port` of your OTLP gRPC collector.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
tracing: {}
|
|
telemetry:
|
|
samplerRatio: 0.01
|
|
exporters:
|
|
otlp:
|
|
host: "my-otlp-collector-host"
|
|
port: 4317
|
|
```
