System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It helps you configure Netdata to receive OpenTelemetry data over OTLP/gRPC and get it correctly mapped into usable charts and logs instead of failing to ingest or appearing generic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enable the OTLP/gRPC receiver: Turn on and verify Netdata’s built-in otel-plugin so collectors and SDKs can connect to the correct endpoint.
  • Configure and secure otel.yaml: Set the OTLP bind address, troubleshoot connectivity, and enable TLS (including mTLS with a client CA).
  • Map metrics to charts: Add metric mapping files under /etc/netdata/otel.d/v1/metrics/ so dimensions and chart shapes are meaningful; logs are ingested via the journal.
  • Debug ingestion issues: Use the troubleshooting workflow and optional log payload capture (store_otlp_json) to pinpoint where data is being dropped or misrendered.

Quick Start

Use netdata-otel-setup to configure /etc/netdata/otel.yaml for OTLP/gRPC ingestion and add metric mappings so your OTLP metrics render with proper chart dimensions.
