OpenTelemetry for IoT Metrics – balenaBlog


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://blog.balena.io/opentelemetry-for-iot-metrics

Hi @ajlennon , I saw you created a Prometheus node-exporter block, and thought you might be interested in this OpenTelemetry (OTel) block as well. This block actually includes two services – the OTel Collector as well as a Prometheus node-exporter. The project README describes how to use the collector with Grafana Cloud, but any Prometheus backend should work.

Notice the block includes an OTel receiver for Docker stats, which should be helpful.

Very interesting thanks! Will take a look :smiley:
