  • Product information

Overview

OpenTelemetry Collector is a component for receiving, processing, and exporting telemetry data. It supports many open source observability formats, such as Jaeger, Zipkin, Prometheus, StatsD, Syslog, and FluentD, and converts them to the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), supported by Dynatrace.

The Collector has various processors to enrich, transform, and filter. You can, for example, add attributes to connect your application telemetry to Kubernetes objects, drop low-value data for cost control reasons, and use the Collector for sensitive data masking and filtering.

You can deploy the Collector next to your application. This helps offload your applications by handling batching, retries, and encryption in the Collector.

The Collector can also export the same data into multiple backends simultaneously (multi-casting) if, for example, the development teams have different backend requirements than the central observability team.

Use cases

The following OTel Collector use cases with example configurations are covered in the Dynatrace documentation

  • Jaeger
  • Zipkin
  • Prometheus
  • StatsD
  • Syslog
  • FluentD
  • Log files
  • Kubernetes enrichment
  • Kubernetes pod logs
  • Batching
  • gRPC to HTTP
  • Memory limitation
  • Multicasting
  • Sampling
  • Transforming and filtering

Get started

Dynatrace distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector is a customized Collector build tailored for typical Dynatrace use cases. It ships with a selected and verified set of OpenTelemetry Collector components, and it’s fully supported by Dynatrace.

To deploy the Dynatrace Collector in your environment, follow the deployment documentation.

Take a look at the Collector use cases to learn more about its capabilities and access configuration examples and best practices.
