Development

See docs/developers

Benchmark

The latest performance report is here, while the trends by testcase can be found here. Both are updated on each successful CI run. The charts use the github-action-benchmark action and uses a modified layout to group the testcases. The performance test can be conducted by following the instructions here.

Support

Please note that as per policy, we're providing support via GitHub on a best effort basis. However, if you have AWS Enterprise Support you can create a ticket and we will provide direct support within the respective SLAs.

For each merged pull request, a corresponding image with the naming convention of [ADOT_COLLECTOR_VERSION]-[GITHUB_SHA] is pushed to public.ecr.aws/aws-otel-test/adot-collector-integration-test. This image is used for the integration tests. You can pull any of the images from there, however, we will not support any issues and pull requests for these test images.

Supported Versions

Each ADOT Collector release is supported until there are two newer minor releases. For example, ADOT collector v0.16.1 will be supported until v0.18.0 is released.
