Splunk® Add-on for OpenTelemetry Collector

Splunk Add-on for OpenTelemetry Collector

Manage multiple collectors

If your configuration uses more than one collector, consider the following best practices:

  • Deploy different agent_config.yaml files to different hosts. For example, a version of the add-on with MySQL Receiver enabled, and a different version of the add-on with MS SQL Server Receiver enabled will work best when deployed on different hosts.
  • Deploy the same files to every host, then point to another agent_config.yaml file in inputs.conf in the splunk_config_dir or splunk_config_yaml properties.
  • Deploy the same instance of the Splunk Add-on for OpenTelemetry Collector to all hosts, then deploy another instance of the add-on that does not contain binaries and only contains a YAML file with a specific receiver enabled. In this case, the YAML file from the second add-on instance will supersede the YAML from the first add-on instance on a particular host.
  • Designate one instance of the Splunk Add-on for OpenTelemetry Collector as your default collector, tailor it to your needs, and then create variants of the add-on using a different name. Then deploy each variant to a different server class.
