Configure OpenTelemetry

Copy the below configuration to your open telemetry configuration file. On most linux distributions, this is located at /etc/otel/config.yaml.

receivers:
  filelog/<SERVICE_NAMESPACE>:
    include:
      - /path/to/your/logs
    resource:
      service.name: <YOUR_SERVICE_NAME>
      service.namespace: <YOUR_SERVICE_NAMESPACE>

processors:
  batch:

exporters:
  otlphttp/bronto:
    logs_endpoint: "https://ingestion.<REGION>.bronto.io/v1/logs"
    compression: none
    headers:
      x-bronto-api-key: <YOUR_API_KEY>

service:
  pipelines:
    logs:
      receivers: [filelog/<LOGSET_LOG>]
      processors: [batch]
      exporters: [otlphttp/bronto]
  # Useful for debugging    
  # telemetry:
    # logs:
      # level: "debug"
      # output_paths: [/path/to/debug.log]

The following tables outline the order of precedence for the headers and attributes used to resolve service names and namespaces. For service names:

Parameter NameParameter Type
x-bronto-service-nameHTTP Header
x-bronto-log-nameHTTP Header
logs.bronto.io/datasetLog Metadata
service.nameLog Metadata
log_nameLog Metadata

And for service namespaces:

Parameter NameParameter Type
x-bronto-service-namespaceHTTP Header
x-bronto-logsetHTTP Header
logs.bronto.io/collectionLog Metadata
service.namespaceLog Metadata
