# OpenTelemetry Collector Go Exporter
[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/go.opentelemetry.io/otel?status.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp)
This exporter exports OpenTelemetry spans and metrics to the OpenTelemetry Collector.
## Installation and Setup
The exporter can be installed using standard `go` functionality.
```bash
$ go get -u go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp
```
A new exporter can be created using the `NewExporter` function.
```golang
package main
import (
"log"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/controller/push"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/selector/simple"
sdktrace "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace"
)
func main() {
exporter, err := otlp.NewExporter() // Configure as needed.
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to create exporter: %v", err)
}
defer func() {
err := exporter.Stop()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to stop exporter: %v", err)
}
}()
// Note: The exporter can also be used as a Batcher. E.g.
// traceProvider, err := sdktrace.NewProvider(
// sdktrace.WithBatcher(exporter,
// sdktrace.WithBatchTimeout(time.Second*15),
// sdktrace.WithMaxExportBatchSize(100),
// ),
// )
traceProvider, err := sdktrace.NewProvider(sdktrace.WithBatcher(exporter))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("failed to create trace provider: %v", err)
}
pusher := push.New(simple.NewWithExactDistribution(), exporter)
pusher.Start()
metricProvider := pusher.Provider()
// Your code here ...
}
```
## Configuration
Configurations options can be specified when creating a new exporter (`NewExporter`).
### `WorkerCount(n uint)`
Sets the number of Goroutines to use when processing telemetry.
### `WithInsecure()`
Disables client transport security for the exporter's gRPC connection just like [`grpc.WithInsecure()`](https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/grpc#WithInsecure) does.
By default, client security is required unless `WithInsecure` is used.
### `WithAddress(addr string)`
Sets the address that the exporter will connect to the collector on.
The default address the exporter connects to is `localhost:55680`.
### `WithReconnectionPeriod(rp time.Duration)`
Set the delay between connection attempts after failing to connect with the collector.
### `WithCompressor(compressor string)`
Set the compressor for the gRPC client to use when sending requests.
The compressor used needs to have been registered with `google.golang.org/grpc/encoding` prior to using here.
This can be done by `encoding.RegisterCompressor`.
Some compressors auto-register on import, such as gzip, which can be registered by calling `import _ "google.golang.org/grpc/encoding/gzip"`.
### `WithHeaders(headers map[string]string)`
Headers to send with gRPC requests.
### `WithTLSCredentials(creds "google.golang.org/grpc/credentials".TransportCredentials)`
TLS credentials to use when talking to the server.
### `WithGRPCServiceConfig(serviceConfig string)`
The default gRPC service config used when .
By default, the exporter is configured to support [retries](#retries).
```json
{
"methodConfig":[{
"name":[
{ "service":"opentelemetry.proto.collector.metrics.v1.MetricsService" },
{ "service":"opentelemetry.proto.collector.trace.v1.TraceService" }
],
"waitForReady": true,
"retryPolicy":{
"MaxAttempts":5,
"InitialBackoff":"0.3s",
"MaxBackoff":"5s",
"BackoffMultiplier":2,
"RetryableStatusCodes":[
"UNAVAILABLE",
"CANCELLED",
"DEADLINE_EXCEEDED",
"RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED",
"ABORTED",
"OUT_OF_RANGE",
"UNAVAILABLE",
"DATA_LOSS"
]
}
}]
}
```
### `WithGRPCDialOption(opts ..."google.golang.org/grpc".DialOption)`
Additional `grpc.DialOption` to be used.
These options take precedence over any other set by other parts of the configuration.
## Retries
The exporter will not, by default, retry failed requests to the collector.
However, it is configured in a way that it can easily be enable.
To enable retries, the `GRPC_GO_RETRY` environment variable needs to be set to `on`. For example,
```
GRPC_GO_RETRY=on go run .
```
The [default service config](https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A6-client-retries.md) used by default is defined to retry failed requests with exponential backoff (`0.3seconds * (2)^retry`) with [a max of `5` retries](https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/blob/be2a3fcbaa417ebbf5845cd485d34fdf0ab4a2a4/text/0035-opentelemetry-protocol.md#export-response)).
These retries are only attempted for reponses that are [deemed "retry-able" by the collector](https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A6-client-retries.md#validation-of-retrypolicy).
