2.2 Setup environment for Resilience Testing

Next, we will configure our environment to be ready for testing the File Storage configuration.

Exercise

Start the Gateway: In the Gateway terminal window run:

../otelcol --config=gateway.yaml

Start the Agent: In the Agent terminal window run:

../otelcol --config=agent.yaml

Send five test spans: In the Loadgen terminal window run:

../loadgen -count 5

Both the Agent and Gateway should display debug logs, and the Gateway should create a ./gateway-traces.out file.

If everything functions correctly, we can proceed with testing system resilience.
