Solace Receiver

The Solace receiver receives trace data from a Solace PubSub+ Event Broker.

Supported pipeline types: traces

Getting Started

To get started with the Solace receiver, a telemetry queue and authentication details must be configured. If connecting to a broker other than localhost, the broker field should be configured.

receivers:
  solace:
    broker: [localhost:5671]
    auth:
      sasl_plain:
        username: otel
        password: otel01$
    queue: queue://#telemetry-profile123

service:
  pipelines:
    traces:
      receivers: [solace]

Configuration

The configuration parameters are:

• broker (Solace broker using amqp over tls; optional; default: localhost:5671; format: ip(host):port)
• queue (The name of the Solace queue to get span trace messages from; required; format: queue://#telemetry-myTelemetryProfile)
• max_unacknowledged (The maximum number of unacknowledged messages the Solace broker can transmit; optional; default: 10)
• tls (Advanced tls configuration, secure by default)
  • insecure (The switch from ‘amqps’ to 'amqp’ to disable tls; optional; default: false)
  • server_name_override (Server name is the value of the Server Name Indication extension sent by the client; optional; default: empty string)
  • insecure_skip_verify (Disables server certificate validation; optional; default: false)
  • ca_file (Path to the User specified trust-store; used for a client to verify the server certificate; if empty uses system root CA; optional, default: empty string)
  • cert_file (Path to the TLS cert for client cert authentication, it is required when authentication sasl_external is chosen; non optional for sasl_external authentication)
  • key_file (Path to the TLS key for client cert authentication, it is required when authentication sasl_external is chosen; non optional for sasl_external authentication)
• auth (Authentication settings. Permitted sub sub-configurations: sasl_plain, sasl_xauth2, sasl_external)
  • sasl_plain (Enables SASL PLAIN authentication)
    • username (The username to use, required for sasl_plain authentication)
    • password (The password to use; required for sasl_plain authentication)
  • sasl_xauth2 (SASL XOauth2 authentication)
    • username (The username to use; required for sasl_xauth2 authentication)
    • bearer (The bearer token in plain text; required for sasl_xauth2 authentication)
  • sasl_external (SASL External required to be used for TLS client cert authentication. When this authentication type is chosen then tls cert_file and key_file are required)

Examples:

Simple single node configuration with SASL plain authentication (TLS enabled by default)

receivers:
  solace:
    broker: [localhost:5671]
    auth:
      sasl_plain:
        username: otel
        password: otel01$
    queue: queue://#telemetry-profile123

service:
  pipelines:
    traces:
      receivers: [solace]

High availability setup with SASL plain authentication (TLS enabled by default)

receivers:
  solace/primary:
    broker: [myHost-primary:5671]
    auth:
      sasl_plain:
        username: otel
        password: otel01$
    queue: queue://#telemetry-profile123

  solace/backup:
    broker: [myHost-backup:5671]
    auth:
      sasl_plain:
        username: otel
        password: otel01$
    queue: queue://#telemetry-profile123

service:
