- Around line 15-17: The OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS field containing
authentication credentials is currently stored in a ConfigMap, which is not
encrypted and poses a security risk. Remove the OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS
variable from the otel.yaml ConfigMap template and instead create a separate
Secret resource to store sensitive OTEL header values. Update the pod
specification to mount these values from the Secret using secretRef instead of
configMapRef, ensuring the ingestion credentials are properly protected.
- Around line 33-37: The FRONTEND_OTEL_ENABLED configuration variable is
currently being set to "1" based only on the frontend.enabled flag, but
according to the values contract it should only be enabled when both
frontend.enabled is true AND frontend.endpoint is set. Update the conditional
check at line 33 to verify both conditions are met by combining the check for
observability.otel.frontend.enabled with a check that
observability.otel.frontend.endpoint is also defined and not empty before
setting FRONTEND_OTEL_ENABLED to "1".

Adds native, opt-in OTel wiring to the chart (mirrors the kustomize
otel-observability component used in commercial-deployments). Off by default —
with observability.otel.enabled=false the rendered manifests are byte-identical
to the previous chart.
- observability.otel.* values block: enabled, endpoint, protocol, headers,
environment, resourceAttributes, debugConsole, sampler, samplerArg, and a
frontend.{enabled,endpoint,headers} block for browser tracing.
- Shared <release>-otel-vars ConfigMap (templates/config-secrets/otel.yaml),
rendered only when enabled.
- OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS carries the collector ingestion credential, so it
is rendered into a <release>-otel-secrets Secret instead of the ConfigMap.
external_secrets.otel_env_existingSecret supplies it from a Secret the
operator manages (ESO/Vault/sealed-secrets); no secretRef is emitted when no
headers are configured at all.
- Wires the 16 backend workloads (api, external-api, worker, worker-importers,
beat-worker, automation-consumer, agent-consumer, webhook-consumer,
outbox-poller, silo, live, live-exporter, space, pi-api, pi-beat, pi-worker)
via envFrom + an inline per-workload OTEL_SERVICE_NAME so each reports its own
service.name. web/admin are intentionally not wired — their only OTel is
browser tracing, served to them by the API via the frontend.* keys.
- Helpers: plane.otel.enabled / plane.otel.secretEnabled / plane.otel.envFrom /
plane.otel.serviceEnv.
- Rancher questions.yml "OpenTelemetry" group + README settings table.
Defaults encode three lessons from validating tracing on a live cluster:
- sampler defaults to always_on: parentbased_* defers to an upstream
traceparent's sampled flag (dropping browser-initiated POST traces even at
ratio 1.0); always_on captures everything for test/debug. Switch to
parentbased_traceidratio for prod.
- environment is emitted as OTEL_ENVIRONMENT, the dedicated var every service
reads (api/pi observability setup, live/silo tracers, space SSR entry), rather
than hand-written into OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES. The node/pi services pass
their resolved environment as an EXPLICIT resource attribute, which wins over
the env detector — so a value smuggled through OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES is
silently overridden by their NODE_ENV fallback and the environment tag stops
matching across services.
- frontend.headers defaults to a non-empty value to force the browser OTLP
exporter onto XHR (sendBeacon fails CORS against a wildcard ACAO), and
FRONTEND_OTEL_ENABLED is only emitted when the browser endpoint is also set —
matching the API's own is_otel_enabled gate.
Verified with `helm template` in both states: enabled renders the ConfigMap,
the Secret and all 16 workloads with distinct OTEL_SERVICE_NAME values; the
default (disabled) render diffs clean against master.

@coderabbitai re: the outside-diff-range finding on Why it's out of scope here: all four defaults ( Why it isn't a one-line fix: each literal is duplicated as a hardcoded
So a correct fix has to touch five secret templates plus Available today: operators who don't want the shipped defaults already have a supported path — Tracking the hardening (generate-and-persist defaults + drop the in-template literals) as separate work so it can get the upgrade-path review it needs. |

…th keyless cloud identity (3.6.2) Rebased onto master, which has since gained opt-in OpenTelemetry (#248) and the v3.1.1 release. The two touch the same regions of every workload — master adds OTel env, this branch adds credential env — so the resolution keeps both: one `env:` per container, one guard carrying both conditions, and OTel's envFrom entry back in the envFrom position where it belongs. Verified rather than eyeballed. Every workload template parses; the default, all-services, OTel and externalized-credentials renders all succeed; and both features coexist — the api container comes out with OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=api, POSTGRES_PASSWORD from the operator's Secret, and otel-vars alongside the credential Secrets in envFrom. Resolved environments are identical to pre-rebase for all 22 containers except APP_VERSION, which moves 3.1.0 -> 3.1.1 because that is master's release. hack/assert-secrets.py --no-dsn still passes. What this branch does, in the order it was built: - Credentials come from Secrets the operator owns, as discrete parts rather than a DSN, so a rotated password can actually reach the app. Postgres, RabbitMQ, Redis, OpenSearch and storage, plus whole-Secret and key-group hooks for the rest. - The same contract extended to silo, live and Plane AI, which each read a different subset. - live's AMQP_URL guarded so the RabbitMQ mirror is not silently inert for live. - live-exporter's ServiceAccount (it was the only workload hardcoding the release-scoped name), and a NOTES warning that the MQ mirror does not reach live's export queue. - Keyless S3: the chart omits AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID rather than rendering it empty, because an empty credential is found first in boto3's chain and shadows the pod's identity. That Secret now renders base64 `data`, so a key the chart stops rendering is a deletion Helm can express — without which switching an existing release from MinIO to S3 fails as InvalidClientTokenId while the configuration looks correct. - Bedrock credentials, keyed (AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK) or keyless via the pod's identity, with the profile ARN and region outside the provider-key suppression group because they are identifiers. The chart version stays at 3.6.2, above master's 3.3.0; appVersion takes master's 3.1.1. Rebasing replayed as a single commit: master's OTel change collides with all eight of the original commits in the same few regions, and resolving the same conflict eight times invites exactly the silent mangling this diff is meant to avoid — two of the intermediate resolutions had already produced duplicate `env:` keys before being caught. The original commit messages are preserved in the PR history.

The application code already ships this: plane-ee #7643 (
feat: OpenTelemetry (OTel) observability across all services) is inv3.1.1, the chart's currentappVersion— every service readsOTEL_ENABLED/OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT/OTEL_SERVICE_NAMEand no-ops when they're unset. Until now the only way to switch it on for a Helm-deployed instance was to hand-writeextraEnv, which can't give each workload its ownservice.name. This exposes it as first-class chart values.Scope / behavior
Default behavior is unchanged.
observability.otel.enableddefaults tofalse; with it off, the ConfigMap and Secret are not rendered, no OTel env is injected, and no emptyenv:/envFrom:blocks appear.helm templatewith default values diffs clean againstmaster(only the timestamped migrator/minio-bucket job names differ, fromnow).Gating details:
secretRefare emitted only whenobservability.otel.headersis set orexternal_secrets.otel_env_existingSecretnames one — an install with no ingestion credential gets neither.FRONTEND_*keys are emitted only whenfrontend.enabledandfrontend.endpointare both set, matching the API's ownis_otel_enabled = FRONTEND_OTEL_ENABLED == "1" and bool(FRONTEND_OTLP_ENDPOINT)gate.web,admin,email,iframely,monitor,runner, the migrator jobs and the stateful services.web/adminin particular are deliberate — their only OTel is browser tracing, which the API serves them from its instance config via thefrontend.*keys, so per-workloadOTEL_*env would be a no-op.Notes on the defaults
Three things worth a reviewer's attention, each from validating tracing on a live cluster:
sampler: always_on—parentbased_*defers to an incomingtraceparent's sampled flag and ignores the ratio, so browser-initiated POST/user-action traces get dropped even at1.0(you see only root GET traffic).always_oncaptures everything for test/debug. Useparentbased_traceidratiofor prod.environment→OTEL_ENVIRONMENT, not hand-written intoOTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES. Every service reads the dedicated var (plane/observability/setup.py,pi/observability.py,live/siloconfig/tracer.ts,spaceentry.server.tsx) and passes the resolved value as an explicit resource attribute.buildResourcedoesdefaultResource().merge(explicit), so the explicit attribute wins over the env detector — a value smuggled throughOTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTESis silently overridden by the node services'NODE_ENVfallback and the environment tag stops matching across services.resourceAttributesremains available for extra attributes.frontend.headersnon-empty — forces the browser OTLP exporter onto XHR;sendBeaconsends credentials and fails CORS against a wildcardAccess-Control-Allow-Origin.Testing
