OpenTelemetry Collector Metrics Exporter for web and node
Note: This is an experimental package under active development. New releases may include breaking changes.
This module provides a metrics-exporter for OTLP (http/json) using protocol version v1.7.0.
Installation
npm install --save @opentelemetry/exporter-metrics-otlp-http
Service Name
The OpenTelemetry Collector Metrics Exporter does not have a service name configuration.
In order to set the service name, use the service.name resource attribute as prescribed in
the OpenTelemetry Resource Semantic Conventions.
To see sample code and documentation for the traces exporter, visit
the Collector Trace Exporter for web and node.
Metrics in Web
The OTLPMetricExporter in Web expects the endpoint to end in /v1/metrics.
import { MeterProvider, PeriodicExportingMetricReader } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-metrics';
import { OTLPMetricExporter } from '@opentelemetry/exporter-metrics-otlp-http';
const collectorOptions = {
url: '<opentelemetry-collector-url>', // url is optional and can be omitted - default is http://localhost:4318/v1/metrics
headers: {}, // an optional object containing custom headers to be sent with each request
concurrencyLimit: 1, // an optional limit on pending requests
};
const metricExporter = new OTLPMetricExporter(collectorOptions);
const meterProvider = new MeterProvider({
readers: [
new PeriodicExportingMetricReader({
exporter: metricExporter,
exportIntervalMillis: 1000,
}),
],
});
// Now, start recording data
const meter = meterProvider.getMeter('example-meter');
const counter = meter.createCounter('metric_name');
counter.add(10, { 'key': 'value' });
Metrics in Node
const { MeterProvider, PeriodicExportingMetricReader } = require('@opentelemetry/sdk-metrics');
const { OTLPMetricExporter } = require('@opentelemetry/exporter-metrics-otlp-http');
const collectorOptions = {
url: '<opentelemetry-collector-url>', // url is optional and can be omitted - default is http://localhost:4318/v1/metrics
concurrencyLimit: 1, // an optional limit on pending requests
};
const metricExporter = new OTLPMetricExporter(collectorOptions);
const meterProvider = new MeterProvider({
readers: [
new PeriodicExportingMetricReader({
exporter: metricExporter,
exportIntervalMillis: 1000,
}),
],
});
// Now, start recording data
const meter = meterProvider.getMeter('example-meter');
const counter = meter.createCounter('metric_name');
counter.add(10, { 'key': 'value' });
Environment Variable Configuration
In addition to settings passed to the constructor, the exporter also supports configuration via environment variables:
| Environment variable | Description |
|---|---|
| OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT | The endpoint to send metrics to. This will also be used for the traces exporter if OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT is not configured. By default http://localhost:4318 will be used. /v1/metrics will be automatically appended to configured values. |
| OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT | The endpoint to send metrics to. By default https://localhost:4318/v1/metrics will be used. v1/metrics will not be appended automatically and has to be added explicitly. |
| OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_TEMPORALITY_PREFERENCE | The exporters aggregation temporality preference. Valid values are cumulative, delta, and lowmemory. cumulative selects cumulative temporality for all instrument kinds. delta selects delta aggregation temporality for Counter, Asynchronous Counter and Histogram instrument kinds, and selects cumulative aggregation for UpDownCounter and Asynchronous UpDownCounter instrument kinds. lowmemory selects delta aggregation temporality for Counter and Histogram instrument kinds, and selects cumulative aggregation for UpDownCounter, Asynchronous Counter and Asynchronous UpDownCounter instrument kinds. By default cumulative is used. |
Settings configured programmatically take precedence over environment variables. Per-signal environment variables take precedence over non-per-signal environment variables.
