Deploy
Helm
Install AutoObserve with Helm in production Kubernetes environments.
Docs v1.0Updated Supported
When should I use this?
- You operate Helm-based releases and want AutoObserve installed as a chart.
- You completed the [Kubernetes overview](/docs/deploy/kubernetes) and need the install commands.
- You are onboarding as a design partner with guided Helm values.
Requirements
- Kubernetes cluster with Helm 3.xRequired
- Namespace and secrets for AutoObserve credentialsRequired
- Cluster RBAC for AutoObserve workloadsRequired
- OpenTelemetry pipelines ready to connect after installOptional
Steps
1. Add the chart repository
# Placeholder — chart coordinates ship with GA and design-partner install guides
# helm repo add autoobserve oci://registry.example.com/autoobserve
# helm repo update
2. Create values for your environment
Design-partner installs use reviewed values for resource limits, ingress, and secrets. At minimum, configure:
- OTLP ingress or internal service endpoints
- API credentials and TLS settings
- Resource requests for your expected telemetry volume
# values.yaml (example skeleton)
autoobserve:
ingress:
enabled: true
resources:
requests:
cpu: "500m"
memory: "1Gi"
3. Install the release
# helm upgrade --install autoobserve autoobserve/autoobserve \
# --namespace autoobserve --create-namespace \
# -f values.yaml
Until public chart coordinates ship, Design Partners receive guided Helm values reviewed against your cluster.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Helm install or upgrade fails.
Symptoms
- Chart not found
- Values validation errors
Likely causes
- Wrong chart version or OCI credentials
- Missing required values keys
Resolution
Confirm chart coordinates with your design-partner contact. Validate values against the install checklist.
Verify fix
Helm release installs without errors.
Problem
Helm reports success but pods remain unready.
Symptoms
- CrashLoopBackOff
- Pending pods
Likely causes
- Insufficient cluster resources
- Missing secrets or config
Resolution
Inspect pod events and confirm secrets, resource limits, and storage classes match your cluster.
Verify fix
All AutoObserve pods reach Running state.
