OpenTelemetry Collector Kubernetes Distro

This distribution is made specifically to be used in a Kubernetes cluster to monitor Kubernetes and services running in Kubernetes. It contains a subset of components from OpenTelemetry Collector Core and OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib.

Components

The full list of components is available in the manifest.

Rules for Component Inclusion

Only includes components from Contrib and Core.
Only components that are Alpha or higher.
All receivers must facilitate the collection of data that is generated by Kubernetes or services running in Kubernetes
- Although you could run a Collector in Kubernetes to reach out to any endpoint, this distribution is not targeting that use case. This distribution is for monitoring Kubernetes and the processes it runs.
All components must be vendor-neutral.
Only exporters that use OTLP are allowed.
- To facilitate troubleshooting, the nop, debug, and file exporters are exceptions.
All technologies OTel promised to support will be included as receivers. Specifically this means the jaegerreceiver, zipkinreceiver, opencensusreceiver, and prometheusreceiver will be included.
