[awskinesisexporter] Cross account support #33891

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My OTel collector is in AWS account A and my Kinesis datastream is in AWS account B. It seems the awskinesisexporter can't send metrics to the datastream in another AWS account. If I specify just the stream_name, the exporter assumes it's in the same account/region and complains that it can't find it.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, I can use the ARN of my kinesis datastream in stream_name:

exporters: awskinesis: aws: stream_name: arn:aws:kinesis:REGION:ACCOUNT_ID:stream/stream_name

and as long as I have my IAM roles / policies set up correctly, the exporter should be able to talk to the kinesis datastream in the other AWS account.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Bump.

MovieStoreGuy commented 2 months ago

Mmm, interesting.

Makes sense. I don't think it would be too hard of a change to implement.

Hi @parambath92, are you still working on this issue? If not, I would like to implement this feature.

Hi @HongChenTW , I couldn't work on this feature. Please go ahead.

Hi @chepati, would you mind to share the details of how you deploy the otel collector? While developing this feature, I was also checking the abilities of this exporter, and found out that we could send metrics to another AWS account by specify role to assume role and specify region to locate the stream region.
