Collector的配置和使用
Collector配置
collector通过pipeline处理service中启用的数据。pipeline由接收遥测数据的组件构成，包括：
其次还可以通过扩展来为Collector添加功能，但扩展不需要直接访问遥测数据，且不是pipeline的一部分。扩展同样可以在service中启用。
Receivers
receiver定义了数据如何进入OpenTelemetry Collector。必须配置一个或多个receiver，默认不会配置任何receivers。
下面给出了所有可用的receivers的基本例子，更多配置可以参见receiver文档。
receivers:
opencensus:
address: "localhost:55678"
zipkin:
address: "localhost:9411"
jaeger:
protocols:
grpc:
thrift_http:
thrift_tchannel:
thrift_compact:
thrift_binary:
prometheus:
config:
scrape_configs:
- job_name: "caching_cluster"
scrape_interval: 5s
static_configs:
- targets: ["localhost:8889"]
Processors
Processors运行在数据的接收和导出之间。虽然Processors是可选的，但有时候会建议使用Processors。
下面给出了所有可用的Processors的基本例子，更多参见Processors文档。
processors:
attributes/example:
actions:
- key: db.statement
action: delete
batch:
timeout: 5s
send_batch_size: 1024
probabilistic_sampler:
disabled: true
span:
name:
from_attributes: ["db.svc", "operation"]
separator: "::"
queued_retry: {}
tail_sampling:
policies:
- name: policy1
type: rate_limiting
rate_limiting:
spans_per_second: 100
Exporters
exporter指定了如何将数据发往一个或多个后端/目标。必须配置一个或多个exporter，默认不会配置任何exporter。
下面给出了所有可用的exporters的基本例子，更多参见exporters文档。
exporters:
opencensus:
headers: {"X-test-header": "test-header"}
compression: "gzip"
cert_pem_file: "server-ca-public.pem" # optional to enable TLS
endpoint: "localhost:55678"
reconnection_delay: 2s
logging:
loglevel: debug
jaeger_grpc:
endpoint: "http://localhost:14250"
jaeger_thrift_http:
headers: {"X-test-header": "test-header"}
timeout: 5
endpoint: "http://localhost:14268/api/traces"
zipkin:
endpoint: "http://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans"
prometheus:
endpoint: "localhost:8889"
namespace: "default"
Service
Service部分用于配置OpenTelemetry Collector根据receivers, processors, exporters, 和extensions sections的配置会启用那些特性。service分为两部分：
- extensions
- pipelines
extensions包含启用的扩展，如：
service:
extensions: [health_check, pprof, zpages]
Pipelines有两类：
- metrics: 采集和处理metrics数据
- traces: 采集和处理trace数据
一个pipeline是一组 receivers, processors, 和exporters的集合。必须在service之外定义每个receiver/processor/exporter的配置，然后将其包含到pipeline中。
注：每个receiver/processor/exporter都可以用到多个pipeline中。当多个pipeline引用processor(s)时，每个pipeline都会获得该processor(s)的一个实例，这与多个pipeline中引用receiver(s)/exporter(s)的情况不同(所有pipelines仅能获得receiver/exporter的一个实例)。
下面给出了一个pipeline配置的例子，更多可以参见pipeline文档。
service:
pipelines:
metrics:
receivers: [opencensus, prometheus]
exporters: [opencensus, prometheus]
traces:
receivers: [opencensus, jaeger]
processors: [batch, queued_retry]
exporters: [opencensus, zipkin]
Extensions
Extensions可以用于监控OpenTelemetry Collector的健康状态。Extensions是可选的，默认不会配置任何Extensions。
下面给出了所有可用的extensions的基本例子，更多参见extensions文档。
extensions:
health_check: {}
pprof: {}
zpages: {}
使用环境变量
collector配置中可以使用环境变量，如：
processors:
attributes/example:
actions:
- key: "$DB_KEY"
action: "$OPERATION"
Collector的使用
下面使用官方demo来体验一下Collector的功能
本例展示如何从OpenTelemetry-Go SDK 中导出trace和metric数据，并将其导入OpenTelemetry Collector，最后通过Collector将trace数据传递给Jaeger，将metric数据传递给Prometheus。完整的流程为：
-----> Jaeger (trace)
App + SDK ---> OpenTelemtry Collector ---|
-----> Prometheus (metrics)
部署到Kubernetes
k8s目录中包含本demo所需要的所有部署文件。为了简化方便，官方将部署目录集成到了一个makefile文件中。在必要时可以手动执行Makefile中的命令。
部署Prometheus operator
git clone https://github.com/coreos/kube-prometheus.git
cd kube-prometheus
kubectl create -f manifests/setup
# wait for namespaces and CRDs to become available, then
kubectl create -f manifests/
可以使用如下方式清理环境：
kubectl delete --ignore-not-found=true -f manifests/ -f manifests/setup
等待prometheus所有组件变为running状态
# kubectl get pod -n monitoring

alertmanager-main-0 2/2 Running 0 16m
alertmanager-main-1 2/2 Running 0 16m

prometheus-k8s-1 3/3 Running 1 16m
prometheus-operator-5b469f4f66-qx2jc 2/2 Running 0 16m
使用Makefile
下面使用makefile部署Jaeger，Prometheus monitor和Collector，依次执行如下命令即可：
# Create the namespace
make namespace-k8s
# Deploy Jaeger operator
make jaeger-operator-k8s
# After the operator is deployed, create the Jaeger instance
make jaeger-k8s
# Then the Prometheus instance. Ensure you have enabled a Prometheus operator
# before executing (see above).
make prometheus-k8s
# Finally, deploy the OpenTelemetry Collector
make otel-collector-k8s
observability# kubectl get pod -n observability
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
jaeger-7b868df4d6-w4tk8 1/1 Running 0 97s
jaeger-operator-9b4b7bb48-q6k59 1/1 Running 0 110s
otel-collector-7cfdcb7658-ttc8j 1/1 Running 0 14s
make clean-k8skubectl delete namespaces observability
配置OpenTelemetry Collector
完成上述步骤之后，就部署好了所需要的所有资源。下面看一下Collector的配置文件：
otlp...
otel-collector-config: |
receivers:
# Make sure to add the otlp receiver.
# This will open up the receiver on port 55680.
otlp:
endpoint: 0.0.0.0:55680
processors:
...
55680...
exporters:
jaeger_grpc:
endpoint: "jaeger-collector.observability.svc.cluster.local:14250"
prometheus:
endpoint: 0.0.0.0:8889
namespace: "testapp"
...
OpenTelemetry Collector service
配置中另外一个值得注意的是用于访问OpenTelemetry Collector的NodePort
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
...
spec:
ports:
- name: otlp # Default endpoint for otlp receiver.
port: 55680
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 55680
nodePort: 30080
- name: metrics # Endpoint for metrics from our app.
port: 8889
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 8889
selector:
component: otel-collector
type:
NodePort
:30080 运行代码
