Kubernetes OpenTelemetry Assets must be used with OpenTelemetry data. With this package will be installed assets to monitor [Kubernetes clusters](https://kubernetes.io/).

## Requirements

You need Elasticsearch for storing and searching your data and Kibana for visualizing and managing it.
You can use our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, which is recommended, or self-manage the Elastic Stack on your own hardware.

## Setup

For step-by-step instructions on how to ingest opentelemetry data using the OpenTelemetry Operator, see the
[Elastic Distribution for OTel Collector](https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/observability/get-started/opentelemetry/quickstart) quickstart guide.

## Screenshots

This integration includes one or more Kibana dashboards that visualizes the data collected by the integration. The screenshots below illustrate how the ingested data is displayed.
