In this section of the workshop, we’ll configure the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Collector to scrape metrics from the
Kubernetes Control Plane /metric endpoint.
This entails configuring a Collector to receive the EKS Control Plane metrics, and an exporter to send the metrics to AWS Managed Service for Prometheus.
Due to a limitation with the current version of the Prometheus receiver, we will need to deploy an additional OpenTelemetry Collector as a single replica deployment.
“When running multiple replicas of the collector with the same config, it will scrape the targets multiple times.” src
