# Upgrade guidelines
These upgrade guidelines only contain instructions for version upgrades which require manual modifications on the user's side.
If the version you want to upgrade to is not listed here, then there is nothing to do for you.
Just upgrade and enjoy.
## 0.62 to 0.63
The `kubernetesAttributes` preset now respects order of processors in logs, metrics and traces pipelines.
This implicitly might break your pipelines if you relied on having the `k8sAttributes` processor rendered as the first processor but also explicitly listed it in the signal's pipeline somewhere else.
## 0.55.2 to 0.56
The `tpl` function has been added to references of pod labels and ingress hosts. This adds the ability to add some reusability in
charts values through referencing global values. If you are currently using any `{{ }}` syntax in pod labels or ingress hosts it will now be rendered. To escape existing instances of {{ }}, use {{` <original content> `}}.
```yaml
global:
region: us-east-1
environment: stage
# Tests `tpl` function reference used in pod labels and
# ingress.hosts[*]
podLabels:
environment: "{{ .Values.global.environment }}"
ingress:
enabled: true
hosts:
- host: "otlp-collector-{{ .Values.global.region }}-{{ .Values.global.environment }}-example.dev"
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
port: 4318
```
Note that only global Helm values can be referenced as the Helm Chart schema currently does not allow `additionalValues`.
## 0.55.0 to 0.55.1
As of v0.55.1 Collector chart use `${env:ENV}` style syntax when getting environment variables and that $`{env:ENV}` syntax is not supported before collector 0.71. If you upgrade collector chart to v0.55.1, you need to make sure your collector version is after than 0.71 (default is v0.76.1).
## 0.53.1 to 0.54.0
As of v0.54.0 Collector chart, the default resource limits are removed. If you want to keep old values you can use the following configuration:
```
resources:
limits:
# CPU units are in fractions of 1000; memory in powers of 2
cpu: 250m
memory: 512Mi
```
See [the 644 issue](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-helm-charts/issues/644) for more information.
## 0.46.0 to 0.47.0
[Update Collector Endpoints to use Pod IP Instead of 0.0.0.0](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-helm-charts/pull/603)
The [Collector's security guidelines were updated](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/pull/6959) to include containerized environments when discussing safeguards against denial of service attacks.
To be in compliance with the Collector's security best practices the chart has been updated to use the Collector's pod IP in place of `0.0.0.0`.
The chart will continue to allow complete configuration of the Collector via the `config` field in the values.yaml. If pod IP does not suite your needs you can use `config` to set something different.
See [Security Best Practices docummentation](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/main/docs/security-best-practices.md#safeguards-against-denial-of-service-attacks) for more details.
The new default of binding to the pod IP, rather than `0.0.0.0`, will cause `kubectl port-forward` to fail. If port-forwarding is desired, the following `value.yaml` snippet will allow the Collector bind to `127.0.0.1` inside the pod, in addition to the pod's IP:
```yaml
config:
receivers:
jaeger/local:
protocols:
grpc:
endpoint: 127.0.0.1:14250
thrift_compact:
endpoint: 127.0.0.1:6831
thrift_http:
endpoint: 127.0.0.1:14268
otlp/local:
protocols:
grpc:
endpoint: 127.0.0.1:4317
http:
endpoint: 127.0.0.1:4318
zipkin/local:
endpoint: 127.0.0.1:9411
service:
pipelines:
traces:
receivers:
- otlp
- otlp/local
- jaeger
- jaeger/local
- zipkin
- zipkin/local
```
## 0.40.7 to 0.41.0
[Require Kubernetes version 1.23 or later](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-helm-charts/pull/541)
If you enable use of a _HorizontalPodAutoscaler_ for the collector when running in the "deployment" mode by way of `.Values.autoscaling.enabled`, the manifest now uses the "autoscaling/v2" API group version, which [is available only as recently as Kubernetes version 1.23](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2021/12/07/kubernetes-1-23-release-announcement/#horizontalpodautoscaler-v2-graduates-to-ga). As [all previous versions of this API group are deprecated and removed as of Kubernetes version 1.26](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/deprecation-guide/#horizontalpodautoscaler-v126), we don't offer support for Kubernetes versions older than 1.23.
## 0.34.0 to 0.34.0
[config supports templating](TBD)
The chart now supports templating in `.Values.config`. If you are currently using any `{{ }}` syntax in `.Values.yaml` it will now be rendered. To escape existing instances of `{{ }}`, use ``` {{` <original content> `}} ```. For example, `{{ REDACTED_EMAIL }}` becomes ``` {{` {{ REDACTED_EMAIL }} `}} ```.
## 0.28.0 to 0.29.0
[Reduce requested resources](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-helm-charts/pull/273)
Resource `limits` have been reduced. Upgrades/installs of chart 0.29.0 will now use fewer resources. In order to set the resources back to what they were, you will need to override the `resources` section in the `values.yaml`.
*Example*:
```yaml
resources:
limits:
cpu: 1
memory: 2Gi
```
## 0.23.1 to 0.24.0
[Remove containerLogs in favor of presets.logsCollection]()
The ability to enable logs collection from the collector has been moved from `containerLogs.enabled` to `presets.logsCollection.enabled`. If you are currently using `containerLogs.enabled`, you should instead use the preset:
```yaml
presets:
logsCollection:
enabled: true
```
If you are using `containerLogs.enabled` and also enabling collection of the collector logs you can use `includeCollectorLogs`
```yaml
presets:
logsCollection:
enabled: true
includeCollectorLogs: true
```
You no longer need to update `config.service.pipelines.logs` to include the filelog receiver yourself as the preset will automatically update the logs pipeline to include the filelog receiver.
The filelog's preset configuration can modified by `config.receivers`, but preset configuration cannot be removed. If you need to remove any filelog receiver configuration generated by the preset you should not use the preset. Instead, configure the filelog receiver manually in `config.receivers` and set any other necessary fields in the values.yaml to modify k8s as needed.
See the [daemonset-collector-logs example](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-helm-charts/tree/main/charts/opentelemetry-collector/examples/daemonset-collector-logs) to see an example of the preset in action.
## 0.18.0 to 0.19.0
[Remove agentCollector and standaloneCollector settings](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-helm-charts/pull/216)
The `agentCollector` and `standaloneCollector` config sections have been removed. Upgrades/installs of chart 0.19.0 will fail if `agentCollector` or `standaloneCollector` are in the values.yaml. See the [Migrate to mode](#migrate-to-mode) steps for instructions on how to replace `agentCollector` and `standaloneCollector` with `mode`.
## 0.13.0 to 0.14.0
[Remove two-deployment mode](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-helm-charts/pull/159)
The ability to install both the agent and standalone collectors simultaneous with the chart has been removed. Installs/upgrades where both `.Values.agentCollector.enabled` and `.Values.standloneCollector.enables` are true will fail. `agentCollector` and `standloneCollector` have also be deprecated, but backward compatibility has been maintained.
### To run both a deployment and daemonset
Install a deployment version of the collector. This is done by setting `.Values.mode` to `deployment`
```yaml
mode: deployment
```
Next, install an daemonset version of the collector that is configured to send traffic to the previously installed deployment. This is done by setting `.Values.mode` to `daemonset` and updating `.Values.config` so that data is exported to the deployment.
```yaml
mode: daemonset
config:
exporters:
otlp:
endpoint: example-opentelemetry-collector:4317
tls:
insecure: true
service:
pipelines:
logs:
exporters:
- otlp
- logging
metrics:
exporters:
- otlp
- logging
traces:
exporters:
- otlp
- logging
```
See the [daemonset-and-deployment](examples/daemonset-and-deployment) example to see the rendered config.
### Migrate to `mode`:
The `agentCollector` and `standaloneCollector` sections in values.yaml have been deprecated. Instead there is a new field, `mode`, that determines if the collector is being installed as a daemonset or deployment.
```yaml
# Valid values are "daemonset" and "deployment".
# If set, agentCollector and standaloneCollector are ignored.
mode: <daemonset|deployment>
```
The following fields have also been added to the root-level to replace the depracated `agentCollector` and `standaloneCollector` settings.
```yaml
containerLogs:
enabled: false
resources:
limits:
cpu: 1
memory: 2Gi
podAnnotations: {}
podLabels: {}
# Host networking requested for this pod. Use the host's network namespace.
hostNetwork: false
# only used with deployment mode
replicaCount: 1
annotations: {}
```
When using `mode`, these settings should be used instead of their counterparts in `agentCollector` and `standaloneCollector`.
Set `mode` to `daemonset` if `agentCollector` was being used. Move all `agentCollector` settings to the corresponding root-level setting. If `agentCollector.configOverride` was being used, merge the settings with `.Values.config`.
Example agentCollector values.yaml:
```yaml
agentCollector:
resources:
limits:
cpu: 3
memory: 6Gi
configOverride:
receivers:
hostmetrics:
scrapers:
cpu:
disk:
filesystem:
service:
pipelines:
metrics:
receivers: [otlp, prometheus, hostmetrics]
```
Example mode values.yaml:
```yaml
mode: daemonset
resources:
limits:
cpu: 3
memory: 6Gi
config:
receivers:
hostmetrics:
scrapers:
cpu:
disk:
filesystem:
service:
pipelines:
metrics:
receivers: [otlp, prometheus, hostmetrics]
```
Set `mode` to `deployment` if `standaloneCollector` was being used. Move all `standaloneCollector` settings to the corresponding root-level setting. If `standaloneCollector.configOverride` was being used, merge the settings with `.Values.config`.
Example standaloneCollector values.yaml:
```yaml
standaloneCollector:
enabled: true
replicaCount: 2
configOverride:
receivers:
podman_stats:
endpoint: unix://run/podman/podman.sock
timeout: 10s
collection_interval: 10s
service:
pipelines:
metrics:
receivers: [otlp, prometheus, podman_stats]
```
Example mode values.yaml:
```yaml
mode: deployment
replicaCount: 2
config:
receivers:
receivers:
podman_stats:
endpoint: unix://run/podman/podman.sock
timeout: 10s
collection_interval: 10s
service:
pipelines:
metrics:
receivers: [otlp, prometheus, podman_stats]
```
Default configuration in `.Values.config` can now be removed with `null`. When changing a pipeline, you must explicitly list all the components that are in the pipeline, including any default components.
*Example*: Disable metrics and logging pipelines and non-otlp receivers:
```yaml
config:
receivers:
jaeger: null
prometheus: null
zipkin: null
service:
pipelines:
traces:
receivers:
- otlp
metrics: null
logs: null
```
