This receiver will read pipeline data from JSON files. The data is written in Protobuf JSON encoding using OpenTelemetry protocol.

The receiver will watch the directory and read files. If a file is updated or added, the receiver will read it in its entirety again.

The data is serialized according to the OpenTelemetry Protocol File Exporter.

Getting Started

The following settings are required:

• include: set a glob path of files to include in data collection

Example:

receivers:
  otlpjsonfile:
    include:
      - "/var/log/*.log"
    exclude:
      - "/var/log/example.log"
