The OpenTelemetry Protocol Exporter uses the OpenTelemetry Protocol to send
|
|
the telemetry data to a collector. For ways to generate that telemetry data,
|
|
you should look into the OpenTelemetry API distribution (if you are a library
|
|
author) or the OpenTelemetry::SDK distribution (if you are an application
|
|
author).
|
|
|
|
The telemetry data provided by the API and SDK distributions needs to be sent
|
|
and collected somewhere for processing. This distribution provides an OTLP
|
|
exporter class that can be used to send telemetry data to a collector that
|
|
supports that protocol.
|
|
|
|
This distribution will be used by the OpenTelemetry::SDK distribution to send
|
|
telemetry data (if configured to do so). If you are not writing an application
|
|
that will send telemetry data to a collector, then you are unlikely to need
|
|
distribution directly.
