API Key Management

• Store your Kloudmate API key securely; avoid hardcoding it in configuration files

• Rotate API keys periodically through the Kloudmate dashboard

Data Volume Optimization

• Keep gzip compression enabled (default) to reduce bandwidth usage

• Enable "Drop Raw Copy" to reduce log payload size when the original log body is not needed

Troubleshooting

Authentication Failures

• Verify your API key is correct and has not been revoked in the Kloudmate dashboard

• Ensure the API key is entered without extra whitespace or quotes

Connection Issues

• Confirm outbound HTTPS traffic to otel.kloudmate.com:4318 is allowed by your firewall

• Check collector logs for TLS handshake errors if using custom CA certificates

Data Not Appearing in Kloudmate

• Verify the correct telemetry types are selected in the destination configuration

• Check that your Kloudmate account has sufficient data ingestion quota
