Aidbox produces three types of signals: logs, metrics and traces in OTEL specification.
Aidbox supports exporting telemetry using the Protobuf protocol in line with the OTEL specification. This guide configures Aidbox to export telemetry to the OpenTelemetry collector, but the setup can also be modified to export to other telemetry consumers that adhere to this specification.
OTEL collector should be deployed and configured to receive logs, metrics and traces.
Aidbox should be configured with Aidbox configuration project.
To enable exporting telemetry to the OTEL collector:
Import aidbox.log, aidbox.telemetry.metrics, aidbox.telemetry.trace
Define open-telemetry-appender, open-telemetry-metrics-exporter, otel-trace-exporter
Add otel-appender to the services
Restart Aidbox
logging exporter and logs, metrics, traces pipelines in the OTEL collector configuration:Use Aidbox REST console to perform a request like this:
Open OTEL collector stdout and see the logs, metrics and traces.
