Set up Beyla

There are different options to set up and run Beyla:

  1. With Docker to instrument a process running in a container.
  2. As a Kubernetes DaemonSet using Helm
  3. As a Kubernetes DaemonSet the Grafana Alloy Helm chart
  4. As a Kubernetes DaemonSet or as a sidecar container (manual process)

For information on configuration options and data export modes, see the Configure Beyla documentation.

You can run Beyla as a standalone process. This approach is suitable for running with bare metal installations, in virtual machines, for local development, or advanced use cases. Consult the documentation in the Git repository to learn how to set up Beyla as a standalone process.

Note: If you will be using Beyla to generate traces, please make sure you’ve read our documentation section on configuring the Routes Decorator. Since Beyla is auto-instrumenting your application without any special language level support, configuring the low cardinality routes decorator is very important for optimal results.
