Getting started with profiling and OTel collector

Open florianl opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

Once https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/pull/1098 got merged and there are artifacts of OTel collector with profiling, we should add documentation so people can get started more easily.

Documentation should include

  • [ ] where to find and get artifacts of OTel collector with profiling support
  • [ ] a minimal configuration of an OTel collector using profiling

As an example, the following config could be fine:

receivers:
  profiling:
    SamplesPerSecond: 19

exporters:
  debug:
    verbosity: detailed

service:
  pipelines:
    profiles:
      receivers: [ profiling ]      
      exporters: [ debug ]
