OTLP Exporter

Exports traces and/or metrics via gRPC using OpenTelemetry format.

The following settings are required:

endpoint: host:port to which the exporter is going to send traces or metrics, using the gRPC protocol. The valid syntax is described at https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/naming.md.

The following settings can be optionally configured:

cert_pem_file: certificate file for TLS credentials of gRPC client. Should only be used if insecure is set to false.
compression: compression key for supported compression types within collector. Currently the only supported mode is gzip.
headers: the headers associated with gRPC requests.
insecure (default = false): whether to enable client transport security for the exporter's gRPC connection. See grpc.WithInsecure().
keepalive: keepalive parameters for client gRPC. See grpc.WithKeepaliveParams().
reconnection_delay: time period between each reconnection performed by the exporter.
insecure: whether to enable client transport security for the exporter's gRPC connection. See grpc.WithInsecure().

Example:

exporters:
  otlp:
    endpoint: otelcol2:55680
    reconnection_delay: 60s
    insecure: true

The full list of settings exposed for this exporter are documented here with detailed sample configurations here.
