OpenTelemetry Collector Service

The Service section is used to configure what components are enabled in the Collector based on the configuration found in the receivers, processors, exporters, and extensions sections.

Info

If a component is configured, but not defined within the Service section then it is not enabled.

The service section consists of three sub-sections:

  • extensions
  • pipelines
  • telemetry

In the default configuration, the extension section has been configured to enable health_check, pprof and zpages, which we configured in the Extensions module earlier.

service:
  extensions: [health_check, pprof, zpages]

So lets configure our Metric Pipeline!
