Overview

Monitor the health and performance of your deployed OpenTelemetry Collectors via ready-made dashboards.

Use cases

The OpenTelemetry Collector provides extensive internal telemetry to help you monitor and troubleshoot its performance. Dynatrace offers self-monitoring dashboards that deliver comprehensive insights into the operational status and efficiency of your collectors. Key features include:

  • Process uptime and CPU time since start: Monitor how long the process has been running and the CPU time consumed.
  • Process memory and heap usage: Track memory consumption and heap usage to ensure optimal performance.
  • Receivers: View items accepted and refused, categorized by data type.
  • Processors: Monitor incoming and outgoing items to understand data flow.
  • Exporters: Track items sent, failed to enqueue, and failed to send, categorized by data type. Additionally, monitor queue size and capacity.
  • HTTP/gRPC requests and responses: Count, duration, and size of requests and responses to analyze communication efficiency.

Get started

The OpenTelemetry Dashboards app contains two ready-made dashboards that provide insights about the health of your OpenTelemetry Collector instances:

  • OTel Collector self-monitoring (all collectors) - shows an overview of all detected OpenTelemetry collectors
  • OTel Collector self-monitoring (single collector) - allows to look at one specific collector instance.

To read more about the capabilities of these dashboards and how to use them, head to the OpenTelemetry Collector Self-monitoring docs.

To get started with monitoring your OpenTelemetry Collector instances,

  • Ensure that the prerequisites are met
  • Export Collector self-monitoring data into Dynatrace
  • Install the ready-made dashboards by clicking "install" in the top right corner
  • Open the Dashboards app and select the "OTel Collector Self-Monitoring" dashboard
