error decoding 'processors'

[gabrielgontariu]

Hello!

Seems to me that some dependencies got update and how I don't quite get how to write a working config file for the collector

Can you please provide an example?

journalctl -u otel-collector -f Apr 05 08:14:41 ip-10-151-1-19 otel-collector[7618]: * error decoding 'processors': unknown type: "spanmetrics" for id: "spanmetrics" (valid values: [filter groupbytrace redaction routing tail_sampling batch deltatorate memory_limiter span groupbyattrs k8sattributes experimental_metricsgeneration metricstransform resource schema transform attributes logstransform probabilistic_sampler resourcedetection cumulativetodelta]) Apr 05 08:14:41 ip-10-151-1-19 otel-collector[7618]: 2024/04/05 08:14:41 application run finished with error: failed to get config: cannot unmarshal the configuration: 1 error(s) decoding: Apr 05 08:14:41 ip-10-151-1-19 otel-collector[7618]: * error decoding 'processors': unknown type: "spanmetrics" for id: "spanmetrics" (valid values: [filter groupbytrace redaction routing tail_sampling batch deltatorate memory_limiter span groupbyattrs k8sattributes experimental_metricsgeneration metricstransform resource schema transform attributes logstransform probabilistic_sampler resourcedetection cumulativetodelta])

Could you share an anonymized version of your config to understand what's there? Or if you're using one of our examples, please confirm which. Thanks!

According to the readme https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/v0.95.0/processor/spanmetricsprocessor

Note: The spanmetrics processor is deprecated in favour of the spanmetrics connector.

So yeah. It disappeared after the major upgrade, please use the spanmetrics connector instead.

Thanks for the messages!

Ok! I will try updating next week and get back with the results

We need to update our examples accordingly. This is the new connector example
