Export data via gRPC using OTLP format. By default, this exporter requires TLS and offers queued retry capabilities.

Getting Started

The following settings are required:

• endpoint (no default): host:port to which the exporter is going to send OTLP trace data, using the gRPC protocol. The valid syntax is described here. If a scheme of https is used then client transport security is enabled and overrides the insecure setting.
• tls: see TLS Configuration Settings for the full set of available options.

Example:

exporters:
  otlp:
    endpoint: otelcol2:4317
    tls:
      cert_file: file.cert
      key_file: file.key
  otlp/2:
    endpoint: otelcol2:4317
    tls:
      insecure: true

By default, gzip compression is enabled. See compression comparison for details benchmark information. To disable, configure as follows:

exporters:
  otlp:
    ...
    compression: none

Advanced Configuration

Several helper files are leveraged to provide additional capabilities automatically:

• gRPC settings
• TLS and mTLS settings
• Queuing, retry and timeout settings

Functions

func NewFactory

func NewFactory() component.ExporterFactory

NewFactory creates a factory for OTLP exporter.

Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	config.ExporterSettings        `mapstructure:",squash"` // squash ensures fields are correctly decoded in embedded struct
	exporterhelper.TimeoutSettings `mapstructure:",squash"` // squash ensures fields are correctly decoded in embedded struct.
	exporterhelper.QueueSettings   `mapstructure:"sending_queue"`
	exporterhelper.RetrySettings   `mapstructure:"retry_on_failure"`

	configgrpc.GRPCClientSettings `mapstructure:",squash"` // squash ensures fields are correctly decoded in embedded struct.
}

Config defines configuration for OpenCensus exporter.

func (*Config) Validate

func (cfg *Config) Validate() error

Validate checks if the exporter configuration is valid
