Code Owners	kyma-project/observability

Dummy Receiver is an OTel Collector receiver that generates dummy telemetry data. At the moment, it only supports metrics. It is useful for testing the OTel Collector pipeline.

How It Works

Dummy Receiver generates dummy metrics and sends them to the OTel Collector pipeline.

For the generated metrics, see documentation.md.

Configuration

See the following example configuration:

receivers:
  dummy:
    interval: 2s

• func NewFactory() receiver.Factory
• type Config
  • func (cfg *Config) Validate() error

Variables

var (
	ErrParsingInterval  = errors.New("interval must be a valid duration string")
	ErrIntervalTooShort = errors.New("when defined, the interval has to be set to at least 1 minute (1m)")
)

Functions

func NewFactory

func NewFactory() receiver.Factory

NewFactory creates a factory for dummyReceiver receiver.

Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	// The number of metrics to generate per interval.
	Interval string `mapstructure:"interval"`
}

Config represents the receiver config settings within the collector's config.yaml

func (*Config) Validate

func (cfg *Config) Validate() error

Validate checks if the receiver configuration is valid
