OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib Distro
This distribution contains all the components from both the OpenTelemetry Collector repository and the OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib repository. This distribution includes open source and vendor supported components.
Recommendation
As this distribution contains many components, it is a good starting point to try various configurations. However, when running in production, it is recommended to limit the collector to contain only the components necessary for an environment. Some reasons to do this:
- reduce the size of the collector, reducing deployment times for the collector
- improve the security of the collector by reducing the available attack surface area
Building a custom collector can be achieved using the OpenTelemetry Collector Builder.
Components
The full list of components is available in the manifest
Rules for Component Inclusion
- Include all extensions at Alpha stability or higher and pipeline components that have at least 1 signal at Alpha stability or higher.
