OpenTelemetry Collector Receivers
Other Receivers
You will notice in the default configuration there are other receivers: otlp, opencensus, jaeger and zipkin. These are used to receive telemetry data from other sources. We will not be covering these receivers in this workshop and they can be left as they are.
Configuration Check-in
We’ve now covered receivers, so let’s now check our configuration changes.
Now that we have reviewed how data gets into the OpenTelemetry Collector through receivers, let’s now take a look at how the Collector processes the received data.
Warning
As the /etc/otelcol-contrib/config.yaml
is not complete, please do not attempt to restart the collector at this point.
