An output plugin to submit Logs, Metrics, or Traces to an OpenTelemetry endpoint

OpenTelemetry

The OpenTelemetry plugin allows you to take logs, metrics, and traces from Fluent Bit and submit them to an OpenTelemetry HTTP endpoint.

Important Note: At the moment only HTTP endpoints are supported.

Key Description Default
host IP address or hostname of the target HTTP Server 127.0.0.1
http_user Basic Auth Username
http_passwd Basic Auth Password. Requires HTTP_user to be set
port TCP port of the target HTTP Server 80
proxy Specify an HTTP Proxy. The expected format of this value is http://HOST:PORT. Note that HTTPS is not currently supported. It is recommended not to set this and to configure the HTTP proxy environment variables instead as they support both HTTP and HTTPS.
metrics_uri Specify an optional HTTP URI for the target web server listening for metrics, e.g: /v1/metrics /
logs_uri Specify an optional HTTP URI for the target web server listening for logs, e.g: /v1/logs /
traces_uri Specify an optional HTTP URI for the target web server listening for traces, e.g: /v1/traces /
header Add a HTTP header key/value pair. Multiple headers can be set.
log_response_payload Log the response payload within the Fluent Bit log false
logs_body_key The log body key to look up in the log events body/message. Sets the Body field of the opentelemtry logs data model. message
logs_trace_id_message_key The trace id key to look up in the log events body/message. Sets the TraceId field of the opentelemtry logs data model. traceId
logs_span_id_message_key The span id key to look up in the log events body/message. Sets the SpanId field of the opentelemtry logs data model. spanId
logs_severity_text_message_key The severity text id key to look up in the log events body/message. Sets the SeverityText field of the opentelemtry logs data model. severityText
logs_severity_number_message_key The severity number id key to look up in the log events body/message. Sets the SeverityNumber field of the opentelemtry logs data model. severityNumber
add_label This allows you to add custom labels to all metrics exposed through the OpenTelemetry exporter. You may have multiple of these fields
compress Set payload compression mechanism. Option available is 'gzip'
logs_observed_timestamp_metadata_key Specify an ObservedTimestamp key to look up in the metadata. $ObservedKey
logs_timestamp_metadata_key Specify a Timestamp key to look up in the metadata. $Timestamp
logs_severity_key_metadata_key Specify a SeverityText key to look up in the metadata. $SeverityText
logs_severity_number_metadata_key Specify a SeverityNumber key to look up in the metadata. $SeverityNumber
logs_trace_flags_metadata_key Specify a Flags key to look up in the metadata. $Flags
logs_span_id_metadata_key Specify a SpanId key to look up in the metadata. $SpanId
logs_trace_id_metadata_key Specify a TraceId key to look up in the metadata. $TraceId
logs_attributes_metadata_key Specify an Attributes key to look up in the metadata. $Attributes
workers The number of workers to perform flush operations for this output. 0

Getting Started

The OpenTelemetry plugin works with logs and only the metrics collected from one of the metric input plugins. In the following example, log records generated by the dummy plugin and the host metrics collected by the node exporter metrics plugin are exported by the OpenTelemetry output plugin.

# Dummy Logs & traces with Node Exporter Metrics export using OpenTelemetry output plugin
# -------------------------------------------
# The following example collects host metrics on Linux and dummy logs & traces and delivers
# them through the OpenTelemetry plugin to a local collector :
