:description: Install and configure Network Explorer on Kubernetes systems using the OpenTelemetry Collector eBPF Helm chart.

You can install and configure Network Explorer as part of the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector Helm chart. You also need the OpenTelemetry Collector eBPF Helm chart.
