7.3. Exporters #
7.3.1. prometheus
#
The prometheus
exporter is an open component of OpenTelemetry 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 component of OpenTelemetry for exporting collected metrics to an OTLP-compatible storage or monitoring system that has to be predeployed and accessible. otlphttp
uses the HTTP protocol.
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).
