Setting up the OTEL Demo App

Step 1: Clone the OpenTelemetry Demo

As we are using a modified version of the OpenTelemetry Demo with expanded logs we will need to: clone the repo, modify the config, and then build from scratch.

Run git clone https://github.com/braxtonj/opentelemetry-demo into a folder of your choice.

Step 2: Configure mezmo-otel-config-extras.yml with Shared Source Credentials

Grab the URL and saved Access Keys from your Log, Metric and Trace Shared Sources (don't worry, if you didn't save the key you can always create a new one). Modify opentelemetry-demo/mezmo-otel-config-extras.yml with the proper credentials and save. Note that Log, Metrics and Traces will each have their own unique URL and Access Keys.

<Add an example of the otel-config-extras.yml file here>

Step 3: Build and Run the OpenTelmetry Demo

To easily build from scratch, simply run the convenience script sh run.sh from the demo's root folder. This will build all necessary resources and deploy the demo to localhost:8080.
