Collector Chart Contributing Guide

All changes to the chart require a bump to the version in chart.yaml. See the Contributing Guide for our versioning requirements.

Once the chart version is bumped, the examples must be regenerated. You can regenerate examples by running make generate-examples CHARTS=opentelemetry-collector.

Bumping Default Collector Version

1. Increase the minor version of the chart by one and set the patch version to zero.
2. Update the chart's appVersion to match the new collector version. This version will be used as the image tag by default.
3. Review the corresponding release notes in Collector Core, Collector Contrib, and Collector Releases. If any changes affect the helm charts, adjust the helm chart accordingly.
4. Run make generate-examples CHARTS=opentelemetry-collector.
