7.3. Exporters #
7.3.1. prometheus #
The prometheus exporter is an open-source component of the OpenTelemetry Collector for exporting collected metrics over the HTTP server and publishing them on the /metrics page in the format of the Prometheus monitoring system. This exporter is the easiest to use — it does not require any external component configuration and can be enabled by default.
7.3.2. otlphttp #
The otlphttp exporter is an open-source component of the OpenTelemetry Collector for exporting collected metrics to an OTLP-compatible storage or monitoring system that has to be predeployed and accessible. otlphttp uses the HTTP protocol.
7.3.3. kafka #
The kafka exporter is an open-source component of the OpenTelemetry Collector for sending metrics and logs to Apache Kafka.
7.3.4. zabbix #
The zabbix exporter is a component of the collector for sending metrics to Zabbix. For usage examples, refer to Integration with Zabbix.
Each component, depending on its type, should be added to the receivers, processors, or exporters section accordingly, and configured if necessary. The component configuration depends on the database instance setup and the log format used (see the logging_collector and log_destination parameters).
