Description

This Module allows you to install and manage OpenTelemetry Collector https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/

Detailed Reference to all classparameters can be found in (https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-otelcol/blob/master/REFERENCE.md)

Setup

The module allows you to address parts of configuration via hiera. Due to complexity there is currently no check of validity of the Otel configuration.

If you don't have any kind of Package distribution System, you could use the Files directly from Github with the param manage_archive.

  class { 'otelcol':
    manage_archive => true
  }

Otelcol vs. Otelcol-contrib

It is quite common to use Otelcol-Contrib, to do that it is enough to change the package_name to otelcol-contrib3

  class { 'otelcol':
    package_name => 'otelcol-contrib'
  }

Limitations

Due to complexity there is currently no check of validity of the Otelcol configuration.
