Coralogix Kubernetes integrations need a coralogix-keys secret with the key named PRIVATE_KEY

TL;DR

If data stops flowing after a namespace move or a fresh install, check these two things first: the secret name and the key name inside it.

Steps

1. When deploying a Coralogix Kubernetes integration, create the secret with the exact name coralogix-keys in the same namespace as the integration, and put your key under PRIVATE_KEY, not the integration name or any custom name. If data stops flowing after a namespace move or a fresh install, check these two things first: the secret name and the key name inside it.

When to use

You are seeing this: When deploying a Coralogix Kubernetes integration, create the secret with the exact name coralogix-keys in the same namespace as the integration, and put your key under PRIVATEKEY, not the integration name or any custom name. Use this skill when you run into "Coralogix Kubernetes integrations need a coralogix-keys secret with the key named PRIVATEKEY".

When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.

Source: Coralogix telemetry-shippers README documents the Kubernetes integration requirement agents get wrong. The integrations expect a secret literally named coralogix-keys, and the relevant key must live under the name PRIVATE_KEY inside it. The secret must be created in the same namespace as the integration, or the shipper cannot mount the credentials it needs to send data.

Verified resolution: When deploying a Coralogix Kubernetes integration, create the secret with the exact name coralogix-keys in the same namespace as the integration, and put your key under PRIVATE_KEY, not the integration name or any custom name. If data stops flowing after a namespace move or a fresh install, check these two things first: the secret name and the key name inside it.
