OpenCensus gRPC Exporter

Exports traces and/or metrics via gRPC using OpenCensus format.

Supported pipeline types: traces, metrics

Getting Started

The following settings are required:

• endpoint (no default): host:port to which the exporter is going to send Jaeger trace data, using the gRPC protocol. The valid syntax is described here

By default, TLS is enabled:

• insecure (default = false): whether to enable client transport security for the exporter's connection.

As a result, the following parameters are also required:

• cert_file (no default): path to the TLS cert to use for TLS required connections. Should only be used if insecure is set to false.
• key_file (no default): path to the TLS key to use for TLS required connections. Should only be used if insecure is set to false.

Example:

exporters:
  opencensus:
    endpoint: opencensus2:55678
    cert_file: file.cert
    key_file: file.key
  otlp/2:
    endpoint: opencensus2:55678
    insecure: true

Advanced Configuration

Several helper files are leveraged to provide additional capabilities automatically:

• gRPC settings
• TLS and mTLS settings
• Queuing, retry and timeout settings

NewFactory creates a factory for OTLP exporter.

Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	configmodels.ExporterSettings `mapstructure:",squash"` // squash ensures fields are correctly decoded in embedded struct.
	configgrpc.GRPCClientSettings `mapstructure:",squash"` // squash ensures fields are correctly decoded in embedded struct.
	exporterhelper.QueueSettings  `mapstructure:"sending_queue"`
	exporterhelper.RetrySettings  `mapstructure:"retry_on_failure"`

	// The number of workers that send the gRPC requests.
	NumWorkers int `mapstructure:"num_workers"`
}

Config defines configuration for OpenCensus exporter.
