Adding a source to Odigos will enable telemetry collection for it. You can add specific kuberenetes workloads or a whole namespace as a source.

​
With Odigos UI

The easiest way to add a source to Odigos is to use the Odigos UI. After installing Odigos CLI, run the following command to start the Odigos UI:

odigos ui

And then, in the setup page or the sources page, select the Deployments / DaemonsSets / StatefulSets for which you want telemetry collection to be enabled.

To include all the workloads in a namespace as sources, enable the Select All switch in the UI. To automatically add future new workloads in the namespace as sources, check the Apply for any future apps checkbox.

​
Kuberenets Manifests

If you prefer to use kubectl or GitOps to manage your kubernetes workloads, you can add a source to Odigos by adding the following label to the kubernetes manifest of the workload:

odigos-instrumentation: enabled

For example to enable instrumentation for a deploymen named my-app, you can run this kubectl command:

kubectl label deployment my-app odigos-instrumentation=enabled

To enable instrumentation for all the workloads in a namespace, you can add the label to the namespace manifest:

kubectl label namespace my-namespace odigos-instrumentation=enabled

To exclude a specific workload from telemetry collection, even when it’s namespace is labeled for instrumentation, add the following label to the workload:

odigos-instrumentation: disabled

​
Removing a Source

To remove a source from Odigos, and stop telemetry collection for it, delete the source from Odigos UI, or remove the odigos-instrumentation label from the workload or namespace manifest. You can always re-enable it later by adding the label back.
