Question: Export to Dynatrace #698

Open coffeebe4code opened 1 year ago

coffeebe4code commented 1 year ago

I'm not seeing any documentation for being able to take this collector data and export it to some other ingestor like dynatrace.

Could someone provide me with that documentation?

I apologize that this seems like such a simple question. but I must be blind.

@coffeebe4code maybe this will help?

The chart has a config parameter that takes an OpenTelemetry Collector config object. In this, you can specify a dynatrace exporter and include it in one or more pipelines. Because Helm will merge values, whatever you specify will be merged with the config that the Helm chart provides.

You would pass something like this into the --values option when installing the chart.

config:
  exporters:
    dynatrace:
      # options for dynatrace exporter go here

  services:
    pipelines:
      traces:
        exporters: [dynatrace]
      # add other pipelines here as well if needed.
