otelcol-bpf

An open telemetry collector distribution that focuses on ebpf scripts to gather observability data.

Extensions

BPF Logger

Status
Stability	alpha
Distributions	[bpf]

This extension enables logging bpf_printk directly into the OpenTelemetry Collector's logging.

The default eBPF trace pipe path is /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe", and can be enabled via :

sudo mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug

the trace pipe path can be overriden via the config:

extensions:
    bpf_logger:
        bpf_trace_pipe : /foo/pipe
