OpenTelemetry Operations Collector

⚠️ This product is currently in ALPHA and not officially supported by Google.

This repository is focused on building and packaging the OpenTelemetry Collector for use with Google Cloud Monitoring.

Collector for Linux

To generate a tarball archive that includes the OpenTelemetry binary and a configuration file compatible with Google Cloud Monitoring:

  1. Run make build-tarball
  2. The tarball file will be generated in the dist folder

Collector for Windows

To generate an MSI that will install OpenTelemetry as a Windows service using a configuration file compatible with Google Cloud Monitoring:

  1. Run .build\msi\make.ps1 Install-Tools to install the open source WIX Toolset
  2. Run .build\msi\make.ps1 New-MSI
  3. The MSI file will be generated in the dist folder

Alternatively, you can generate a googet package by running make build-googet. This is the packaging method used to install the Collector on Windows GCE VMs.

Running build commands in Docker

You can also run the build commands inside docker:

  1. Run make docker-build-image to build the docker image. This will generate an image called otelopscol-build
  2. Run make TARGET=build-<package> docker-run
  3. The specified package will be generated in the dist folder
