This exporter will write the pipeline data to a JSON file. The data is written in Protobuf JSON encoding (https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#json). Note that there are no compatibility guarantees for this format, since it just a dump of internal structures which can be changed over time. This intended for primarily for debugging Collector without setting up backends.
The following settings are required:
path
(no default): where to write information.
Example:
exporters:
file:
path: ./filename.json
The full list of settings exposed for this exporter are documented here with detailed sample configurations here.
