Transform OTLP gRPC
The following configuration example shows how you would configure a Collector instance to transform a gRPC OTLP request to its HTTP counterpart.
Demo configuration
receivers:
otlp:
protocols:
grpc:
exporters:
otlphttp:
endpoint: $DT_ENDPOINT/api/v2/otlp
headers:
Authorization: "Api-Token $DT_API_TOKEN"
service:
pipelines:
traces:
receivers: [otlp]
exporters: [otlphttp]
metrics:
receivers: [otlp]
exporters: [otlphttp]
logs:
receivers: [otlp]
exporters: [otlphttp]
Prerequisites
- At least Core distribution
- The API URL of your Dynatrace environment
- An API token with the relevant access scope
Components
For our configuration, we configure the following components.
Receiver
Under receivers
, we specify the gRPC otlp
receiver as active receiver component for our Collector instance.
Exporter
Under exporters
, we specify the default otlphttp
exporter and configure it with our Dynatrace API URL and the required authentication token.
For this purpose, we set the following two environment variables and reference them in the configuration values for endpoint
and Authorization
.
DT_ENDPOINT
contains the base URL of your ActiveGate (for example,https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com
)DT_API_TOKEN
contains the API token
Service pipeline
Under service
, we eventually assemble our receiver and exporter objects into pipelines, which explictly accept gRPC requests and forward them on HTTP to Dynatrace.
