Exporters

Included in this directory are exporters that export both metric and trace telemetry.

  • stdout: Writes telemetry to a specified local output as structured JSON.
  • otlp: Sends telemetry to an OpenTelemetry collector as OTLP.

Additionally, there are metric and trace only exporters.

Metric Telemetry Only

  • prometheus: Exposes metric telemetry as Prometheus metrics.
  • test: A development tool when testing the telemetry pipeline.

Trace Telemetry Only

  • jaeger: Sends properly transformed trace telemetry to a Jaeger endpoint.
  • zipkin: Sends properly transformed trace telemetry to a Zipkin endpoint.
