The OpenTelemetry Collector | A Complete 1 Hour Workshop

[@gerardorosiles8918]

@aspecto_io Is this a better lecture to follow regarding the collector with respect to the one given on your bootcamp?

[@cnkumar20]

what is the difference between OTEL collector and statsD ?

[@BR-lx7py]

Any reason you are using 0.29.0 for the agent and gateway, when the latest is 0.52.0?

[@aspecto_io]

Hi! Yes, this is due to an issue with OpenTelemetry javascript that isn’t aligned with a breaking change in the collector. Sending from js to collector above 0.29.0 will result in an error, this issue should be resolved soon.

@@aspecto_io thanks. Is there an issue in the git repo about this so that I can learn more? A quick search could not find anything in opentelemetry-collector-contrib.

Hi. can I export open telemetry data diretly to mongodb or some another data base and configure jaeger to get data from it. Do we have any direct exporters we can use to export data from OpenTelemetry collector to DB?

[@aspecto_io]

Yes of course. There are several databases you can export to. All the exporters can be found in the OpenTelemetry contrib repo: github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/exporter
