OpenTelemetry Collector API

The OpenTelemetry Collector is a vendor-agnostic proxy for receiving, processing, and exporting telemetry data. It exposes HTTP and gRPC endpoints for receiving OTLP data and provides a configuration API for managing pipelines, receivers, processors, and exporters at runtime via the zPages diagnostic extension and config file hot-reloading.
