OpenTelemetry Collector 🔗
DESCRIPTION 🔗
The OpenTelemetry Collector offers a vendor-agnostic implementation on how to receive, process and export telemetry data. In addition, it removes the need to run, operate and maintain multiple agents/collectors in order to support open-source telemetry data formats sending to multiple open-source or commercial back-ends.
INSTALLATION 🔗
After installing the SignalFx Smart Agent on each instance, you can optionally send data from the SignalFx Smart Agent to the OpenTelemetry Collector.
USAGE 🔗
To deploy data collection for SignalFx Infrastructure Monitoring:
- Install and configure the SignalFx Smart Agent.
- (Optional) Deploy the OpenTelemetry Collector.
