OTLP Export to Cardinal

With an existing OpenTelemetry Collector, getting onboarded to Chip is as simple as adding an OTLP Exporter to your Collector pipeline.

  • Recommended for fast onboarding, PoCs, or if your telemetry data volume is low
  • Sends raw telemetry data to Cardinal

(If your telemetry data volume is high, and you prefer not to send it all to Cardinal, refer to the Cardinal OpenTelemetry Collector section for an alternative)

Add an OTLP Exporter

Update your Collector configuration yaml to add a new exporter, and include it in your pipelines for metrics, logs, and traces.
