Could be because I am on mobile.
Unlikely.
- Being on mobile can change request patterns or session churn, but it does not explain a sudden spike in info logs per minute by itself.
-
The telemetry here points to backend log spam and exporter/config retries:
- repeated OTLP exporter failures due to high memory usage
-
repeated
Loading incluster config... -
repeated
No data/binaryData field in configmap
-
If mobile traffic were the cause, I’d expect more:
- request volume spikes on mobile-specific endpoints
- higher 4xx/5xx rates tied to user-agent/session
- downstream latency or error bursts, not a pure info-log-rate alert
What mobile could do:
- increase traffic enough to amplify an existing noisy loop
- trigger a code path that logs per request/session
- expose a mobile-only integration issue
But the root problem is still likely:
- a logging loop
- bad configmap/incluster config handling
- exporter backpressure causing repeated retries/logs
Best next check:
-
compare log volume by
resource.service.name/ pod - inspect whether the noisy messages correlate with a specific mobile endpoint or only with exporter/integration logs
Cmd to find tracers, and cut system apps?
Use a filter that excludes the noisy system components and surfaces the likely app traces.
kind == "span"
AND resource.service.name !in ("otel-collector", "opentelemetry-collector", "kafka", "valkey-cart", "jaeger")
If you want only request traces:
kind == "request"
AND resource.service.name !in ("otel-collector", "opentelemetry-collector", "kafka", "valkey-cart", "jaeger")
If you want to exclude all infrastructure/system-ish services more aggressively, use:
kind in ("span", "request")
AND resource.service.name !in ("otel-collector", "opentelemetry-collector", "kafka", "valkey-cart", "jaeger", "ad", "email", "fraud-detection")
If by “tracers” you mean trace-producing services rather than the tracing backend, tell me which service names you want to keep and I’ll tighten the query.
The phone functions as a terminal, Samsung galaxy, i try to stop ONE UI 8.0 from installing, so I can still use Termux.
You're dealing with a Samsung OS update / OTA install problem, not an app issue.
- If One UI 8.0 is already downloading or staged, the practical way to stop it is to disable automatic updates, clear the updater’s data, and if needed remove the downloaded package.
- If the update has already entered the install/pending reboot phase, there may be no safe in-place cancel; you typically have to postpone by preventing the reboot and clearing the update cache.
Try this first:
-
Turn off auto download/install
-
Settings -> Software update -> Auto download over Wi‑Fioff - Also disable any “Install updates automatically” setting if present
-
-
Disable Samsung/Carrier updater apps
-
Settings -> Apps -> Show system apps -
Find things like:
-
Software update -
FOTA -
com.wssyncmldm -
com.sec.android.soagent - carrier update apps
-
- Force stop them
- If allowed, Disable them
-
-
Clear updater storage
-
In the same app info screen:
-
Storage -> Clear cache -
Clear data
-
-
In the same app info screen:
-
Delete any downloaded update package
-
Check
Internal storage/Download -
Also look for
Android/data/...or Samsung update folders if accessible -
Remove any
.zip,.bin, ordownloaded_updatefiles
-
Check
-
Avoid rebooting
- If the update is staged, rebooting may trigger install
For Termux specifically:
-
If One UI 8.0 would break your workflow, the most robust option is to freeze the current firmware state:
- disable auto update
- keep updater services disabled
- avoid enrolling in beta/early access
- If you still have ADB access, I can give you commands to disable the update packages cleanly.
If you want, I can give you:
- tap-by-tap Samsung steps
- ADB commands
- or a rootless Termux-only workaround to block OTA components as far as Android allows.
