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
.
- Increase the minor version of the chart by one and set the patch version to zero.
- Update the chart's
appVersion
to match the new collector version. This version will be used as the image tag by default. - 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.
- Run
make generate-examples CHARTS=opentelemetry-collector
.
