OpenTelemetry destination
In syslog-ng OSE 4.3 and later versions it is possible to send logs, metrics and traces from OpenTelemetry clients. For more information see the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP/gRPC).
In the example below, an OpenTelemetry source and destination are defined. It receives data and forwards it to a receiver.
Example: Forwarding OpenTelemetry data
log otel_forward_mode_alts {
source {
opentelemetry(
port(12345)
auth(alts())
);
};
destination {
opentelemetry(
url("my-otel-server:12345")
auth(alts())
);
};
};
NOTE: Only the url()
option is mandatory to definie in the destination, which includes the port number.
Example: Sending log messages to an OpenTelemetry destination
log non_otel_to_otel_tls {
source {
network(
port(12346)
);
};
destination {
opentelemetry(
url("my-otel-server:12346")
auth(
tls(
ca-file("/path/to/ca.pem")
key-file("/path/to/key.pem")
cert-file("/path/to/cert.pem")
)
)
);
};
};
