Learn about the architecture of Odigos Central, including the central cluster components, remote cluster proxies, VM agents, and optional Cloud Connectors.
centralBackendURL. They are not interchangeable.
| Value | Chart | Who uses it | When to set |
|---|---|---|---|
centralProxy.centralBackendURL | odigos (each remote cluster) | Central Proxy WebSocket to /ws/proxy | Required to connect a remote cluster. See Connecting Remote Clusters. |
centralUI.centralBackendURL | odigos-central | Central UI → backend HTTP | Optional. Default is in-cluster http://central-backend.<namespace>:8081. |
auth.externalUrl | odigos-central | Browser SSO redirects (Keycloak issuer / proxy URLs) | Set to the browser-accessible Central Backend URL (ingress hostname). See Authentication. |
centralProxy.centralBackendURL is the URL remote clusters use to reach Central. auth.externalUrl is the URL browsers use for SSO. They are often the same public hostname when you terminate TLS on ingress, but they serve different clients.
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Central UI | Web interface for managing connected clusters, VM agents, cloud connectors, sources, destinations, and sampling configurations |
| Central Backend | API server that stores configuration in Redis and communicates with remote platforms |
| Central Proxy | Lightweight service deployed in each remote cluster that bridges the central backend to local Odigos components |
| Cloud Connectors (optional) | Provider runtimes in the Central cluster that discover and instrument cloud workloads for one cloud account boundary each (for example an AWS account or GCP project). See Cloud Connectors. |
