This Instrumentation Rule is currently only available with the Odigos Enterprise plan.

Considerations

Before enabling payload collection, please note the following:

  • PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and other potentially sensitive data may be present in the payload. Evaluate the risk of collecting this data, and consider using the PII Masking Action to mask sensitive data.
  • Payload data can be large and may increase the size of your spans. This can impact the performance of your application and the cost of processing, storing and analyzing traces.
  • The support for payload collection varies between instrumentation libraries and languages. Not all libraries support payload collection, and the supported payload types and formats may differ. Consult the documentation of the instrumentation library you are using for more information.

​
Configuration Options

Any unspecified options will fallback to a reasonable default value provided by the instrumentation library (recommended).

​
Basic Example

The following example demonstrates how to enable payload collection for all supported workloads and instrumentation libraries in the cluster.

1

Create a YAML file with the following content:

payload-collection.yaml
apiVersion: odigos.io/v1alpha1
kind: InstrumentationRule
metadata:
  name: collect-all-payloads
  namespace: odigos-system
spec:
  ruleName: "collect all supported payloads"
  payloadCollection:
    httpRequest: {}
    httpResponse: {}
    dbQuery: {}
    messaging: {}
2

Apply the action to the cluster:

kubectl apply -f payload-collection.yaml

​
Full Example

The following example is a demonstration of all the options available in the “Payload Collection” Rule. It is not meant to be used “as is”, but rather as a reference to customize the rule to your needs.
