OpenTelemetry Metrics
Description
You can send your metrics to a Mezmo Pipeline via any OTLP compliant sender.
Mezmo currently requires that you use the HTTP transport for your payload, not the standard gRPC transport mechanism, to send in data via OTLP
Configuration
The OTLP Metrics source provides a unique endpoint URL that uses Bearer Token authentication. You can obtain the unique endpoint and Bearer Token from the Mezmo pipeline app when you create a new OTLP Metrics source. When you add the source to your Pipeline, click on it and select Edit config. In the configuration settings, you will see the URL for the endpoint, and an option to generate a token.
Configuration Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
url / endpoint | unique URL for your OTLP source |
token | token used for authorization for your OTLP source |
OpenTelemetry Collector Configuration
To configure an OTel collector to export to Mezmo, you can add the following to your exporters section of your OTel Collector config file:
exporters otlphttp/mezmo-metrics endpoint"https://pipeline.mezmo.com/v1/<YOUR ROUTE ID>" headers Authorization"<YOUR_PIPELINE_INGEST_KEY>"The endpoint in the exporters configuration must exactly match the URL provided by the OpenTelemetry Metrics. You don't need to specify the /v1/metrics path, which will otherwise by ignored by the Source.
