Collector config builder
Pick signals, receivers and processors and get a ready OpenTelemetry Collector configuration.
How it works
The Collector receives telemetry, processes it in pipelines and exports it. memory_limiter protects it under load, batch makes exports efficient, and resource adds attributes such as the environment.
Questions
Where do I put the API key?
Use environment variables, as in the generated file, never the key itself in YAML you commit.
Which Collector build do I need?
filelog, hostmetrics and the filter processor are in the contrib build, otelcol-contrib.
