You can enable metrics and alerts of OpenTelemetry Collector instances.

Prerequisites

Procedure

    apiVersion: opentelemetry.io/v1alpha1
kind: OpenTelemetryCollector
metadata:
  name: <name>
spec:
  observability:
    metrics:
      enableMetrics: true

Verification

You can use the Administrator view of the web console to verify successful configuration:

  • Go to Observe Targets, filter by Source: User, and check that the ServiceMonitors in the opentelemetry-collector-<instance_name> format have the Up status.
