👋 Hi there! If you have questions about this repository, please head on over to our Honeycomb Pollenators Slack channel and join us in the #discuss-metrics channel there -- we'll be happy to help you out!
Creates a configuration file for OpenTelemetry Collector that:
- Sends OTLP metrics to Honeycomb
- Enables the hostmetrics receiver
- Transforms metrics from the hostmetrics receiver such that they generate optimally-wide Honeycomb records (see more about the event transformation here)
A current version of the config that this repository generates should be available on the Releases page.
In order to use this configuration you will need a version of opentelemetry-collector that contains the metricstransform processor and the timestamp processor. Binaries for those processors should also be available on the Releases page. However, if you would like to build your own binary, refer to this documentation.
If you'd like to build a version of the configuration yourself, clone this repo and run make config. You'll need these prerequisites available in your $PATH:
Watch updates and rebuild on changes using entr with ls | entr make.
