Better Stack Collector Helm chart
Better Stack collector is the easiest and recommended way of integrating Better Stack into your Kubernetes cluster.
Leverage eBPF to instrument your Kubernetes to gather logs, metrics, and OpenTelemetry traces without code changes. Ingest everything at a fraction of the cost. Learn more ⇗
The Better Stack collector runs as a DaemonSet with two containers per node:
- Collector container: 512MB-2GB memory
- Beyla container (eBPF tracing): 1.5GB memory reserved
Minimum recommended node specifications:
- 4GB total memory per node
- 2GB available memory after system and other critical workloads
Important notes:
- The Beyla container requires 1.5GB memory reservation to ensure stable eBPF-based tracing
- In memory-constrained or heavily overcommitted clusters, the collector may experience restarts
- Both containers are configured with Guaranteed QoS class to prevent eviction under memory pressure

Better Stack collector wouldn't be possible without the open source community. We are grateful to all the contributors of OpenTelemetry, Cilium, Vector, Beyla, Coroot among others who enabled us to build upon their work. Thank you!
