Integrate Better Stack with your Amazon EKS cluster using Helm?

1. Add Helm repository

Add Better Stack Helm repository:

helm repo add betterstack-logs https://betterstackhq.github.io/logs-helm-chart
helm repo update

2. Set up Helm chart

Create values.yaml config file with the following contents:

vector:
  customConfig:
    sinks:
      better_stack_http_sink:
        auth:
          token: $SOURCE_TOKEN
      better_stack_http_metrics_sink:
        auth:
          token: $SOURCE_TOKEN

metrics-server:
  args:
    - --kubelet-preferred-address-types=InternalIP

# config for self-signed certificates with disabled TLS
vector:
  customConfig:
    sinks:
      better_stack_http_sink:
        auth:
          token: $SOURCE_TOKEN
      better_stack_http_metrics_sink:
        auth:
          token: $SOURCE_TOKEN
    sources:
      better_stack_kubernetes_metrics_nodes:
        tls:
          verify_certificate: false
          verify_hostname: false
      better_stack_kubernetes_metrics_pods:
        tls:
          verify_certificate: false
          verify_hostname: false

metrics-server:
  args:
    - --kubelet-preferred-address-types=InternalIP

3. Deploy the chart

Install the Better Stack chart:

helm install betterstack-logs betterstack-logs/betterstack-logs -f values.yaml

helm install betterstack-logs betterstack-logs/betterstack-logs -f values.yaml \
  --set metrics-server.enabled=false

You should see your logs in Better Stack → Live tail.

Check out your metrics in the Kubernetes dashboard.
