System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It helps you configure an OpenTelemetry Collector to forward metrics (and logs) to Netdata correctly, including the right exporter setup and Kubernetes deployment shape.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • OTLP-to-Netdata exporter configuration: Ensures the Collector uses OTLP/gRPC (not OTLP/HTTP) when exporting to Netdata.
  • Kubernetes deployment patterns: Guides DaemonSet, gateway (Deployment), and OpenTelemetry Operator-managed approaches.
  • Correct chart dimension shaping: Teaches how to control Netdata chart dimensions via an OTLP attribute plus a Netdata mapping file, rather than relying on Collector annotations.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to generate a minimal OpenTelemetry Collector config that forwards hostmetrics and filelog to Netdata using the DaemonSet pattern, with gRPC enabled and the correct mapping approach for dimension attributes.
