NGINX Service Mesh
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:
tracing: {}
telemetry:
samplerRatio: 0.01
exporters:
otlp:
host: "my-otlp-collector-host"
port: 4317
