  • Release notes

Overview

Monitor your Opentelemetry Collectors via the metrics telemetry service.

This extension will collect metrics about the Otel Collector infrastructure and component performances.

Get started

Requirements

Metric telemetry needs to be enabled on the collectors, by default the collector exposes metrics on port 8888.

Dynatrace

Create a monitoring configuration pointing the URL to the collector metrics endpoint, example:

http://collector_ip:8888/metrics 

Dynatrace can monitor the collectors locally (OneAgent) or remotely (Activegate)
