Collect Traces

Default installation of the Sumo Logic Distribution for OpenTelemetry Collector goes with default endpoints for tracing collection in OTLP format:

• localhost:4317 for GRPC
• localhost:4318 for HTTP

Run collection on different ports

If you'd like to run collection on different ports, you can save a configuration like the following as conf.d/expose-otlp.yaml:

receivers:
  otlp:
    protocols:
      grpc:
        endpoint: 1.2.3.4:4317
      http:
        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4318

The configuration is going to be applied for metrics/default, logs/default, and traces/default defined in sumologic.yaml.

Create a new independent pipeline

If you'd like to create a new independent pipeline, use the following content for conf.d/expose-otlp.yaml

receivers:
  otlp/exposed:
    protocols:
      grpc:
        endpoint: 1.2.3.4:4317
      http:
        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4318
service:
  pipelines:
    traces/exposes:
      receivers:
        - otlp/exposed
      processors:
        - memory_limiter
        # you can add custom processors here, if you would like to filter or modify the data
        - batch
      exporters:
        - sumologic
