How to Contribute

There are primarily 3 charts in the SigNoz Helm Charts repository:

  • SigNoz (frontend, query service, otel collector, and otel collector metrics)
  • ClickHouse
  • Alertmanager

SigNoz chart is where most of the developments are done. ClickHouse chart is seldom updated to to sync major enhancements. Alertmanager chart is rarely updated.

To run helm chart for local development

  • run git clone https://github.com/SigNoz/charts.git followed by cd charts
  • it is recommended to use lightweight kubernetes (k8s) cluster for local development:
  • create a k8s cluster and make sure kubectl points to the locally created k8s cluster
  • run make dev-install to install SigNoz chart with my-release release name in platform namespace.
  • run kubectl -n platform port-forward svc/my-release-signoz-frontend 3301:3301 to make SigNoz UI available at localhost:3301

To install HotROD sample app:

curl -sL https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/raw/main/sample-apps/hotrod/hotrod-install.sh \
  | HELM_RELEASE=my-release SIGNOZ_NAMESPACE=platform bash

To load data with HotROD sample app:

kubectl -n sample-application run strzal --image=djbingham/curl \
  --restart='OnFailure' -i --tty --rm --command -- curl -X POST -F \
  'locust_count=6' -F 'hatch_rate=2' http://locust-master:8089/swarm

To stop the load generation:

kubectl -n sample-application run strzal --image=djbingham/curl \
  --restart='OnFailure' -i --tty --rm --command -- curl \
  http://locust-master:8089/stop
