Workshop from Multipass

[jmallen1027]

I completed the workshop before when Splunk hosted it. Right now I am working on the workshop from home with Multipass and not using AWS and have been experiencing issues accessing locust. I'm in the process of creating a use-case to purchase the suite and have met with several Splunk engineers yesterday going over issues I had with the APM workshop on the SignalFx page. Now I am experiencing issues with this one.

When I set up the otel collector I only had 1 cluster and not 3 like the instructions. Everything else looked good when I went through the rest of the steps.

I can not access locust after setting up nginx. Checking the locust-deployment.yaml I see the annotations are referring to a AWS load balancer. I'm not sure if it's not generating because I'm not using AWS, or I missed some steps, or if the workshop is only able to run if Splunk is hosting it. I tried using the host IP address:8080.

Can I only do the workshop if Splunk is hosting it? If so is there a way to play around with it by myself or would I need to create my own resources?

Thank you.

@jmallen1027 I develop the workshop in multipass and have not experienced these issues ... so my env is:

multipass list
Name                    State             IPv4             Image
rwcc                    Running           192.168.64.21    Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
                                          10.42.0.0
                                          10.42.0.1

These are the services I see in K3s

sudo kubectl get svc -o wide
NAME                  TYPE           CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP     PORT(S)          AGE     SELECTOR
kubernetes            ClusterIP      10.43.0.1       <none>          443/TCP          30h     <none>
nginx                 LoadBalancer   10.43.141.211   192.168.64.21   8082:32482/TCP   3m23s   app=nginx
nginx-loadgenerator   LoadBalancer   10.43.137.38    192.168.64.21   8080:30333/TCP   3m17s   app=nginx-loadgenerator

So if I use the external IP and port 8080 I can see locust e.g.
