Openshift operator 'exporters': unknown type: "loki"

[alexlionnel]

I am using Openhift 4.12, and i have installed an operator Red Hat build of OpenTelemetry 0.93.0-3 provided by Red Hat. I created a resource of type OpenTelemetryCollector

          job: true

    service:

      pipelines:

        traces:
          receivers: [ otlp, opencensus, jaeger, zipkin ]
          processors: [ batch ]
          exporters: [ debug ]

        metrics:
          receivers: [ otlp, opencensus, prometheus ]
          processors: [ batch ]
          exporters: [ debug ]

        logs:

          processors: [ batch ]
          exporters: [ loki ]

      extensions: [ health_check, pprof, zpages ]

But i got this error on the pod otel-collector

* error decoding 'exporters': unknown type: "loki" for id: "loki" (valid values: [prometheus kafka awscloudwatchlogs debug logging otlp otlphttp])

Please repo this issue over at https://github.com/os-observability/redhat-opentelemetry-collector as that distribution builds their own version of the collector.

The problem is that their collector doesnt include a lokiexporter

I solved the issue by using a specific image tag

apiVersion: opentelemetry.io/v1alpha1
kind: OpenTelemetryCollector
metadata:
  name: otel
  namespace: openshift-opentelemetry-operator
spec:
  image: 'otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.93.0'
  ...
