# OpenTelemetry Input Plugin

This plugin receives traces, metrics and logs from
[OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io) clients and agents via gRPC.

## Service Input <!-- @/docs/includes/service_input.md -->

This plugin is a service input. Normal plugins gather metrics determined by the
interval setting. Service plugins start a service to listens and waits for
metrics or events to occur. Service plugins have two key differences from
normal plugins:

1. The global or plugin specific `interval` setting may not apply
2. The CLI options of `--test`, `--test-wait`, and `--once` may not produce
   output for this plugin

## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.

[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins

## Configuration

```toml @sample.conf
# Receive OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and logs over gRPC
[[inputs.opentelemetry]]
  ## Override the default (0.0.0.0:4317) destination OpenTelemetry gRPC service
  ## address:port
  # service_address = "0.0.0.0:4317"

  ## Override the default (5s) new connection timeout
  # timeout = "5s"

  ## gRPC Maximum Message Size
  # max_msg_size = "4MB"

  ## Override the default span attributes to be used as line protocol tags.
  ## These are always included as tags:
  ## - trace ID
  ## - span ID
  ## Common attributes can be found here:
  ## - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/tree/main/semconv
  # span_dimensions = ["service.name", "span.name"]

  ## Override the default log record attributes to be used as line protocol tags.
  ## These are always included as tags, if available:
  ## - trace ID
  ## - span ID
  ## Common attributes can be found here:
  ## - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/tree/main/semconv
  ## When using InfluxDB for both logs and traces, be certain that log_record_dimensions
  ## matches the span_dimensions value.
  # log_record_dimensions = ["service.name"]

  ## Override the default profile attributes to be used as line protocol tags.
  ## These are always included as tags, if available:
  ## - profile_id
  ## - address
  ## - sample
  ## - sample_name
  ## - sample_unit
  ## - sample_type
  ## - sample_type_unit
  ## Common attributes can be found here:
  ## - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/tree/main/semconv
  # profile_dimensions = []

  ## Override the default (prometheus-v1) metrics schema.
  ## Supports: "prometheus-v1", "prometheus-v2"
  ## For more information about the alternatives, read the Prometheus input
  ## plugin notes.
  # metrics_schema = "prometheus-v1"

  ## Optional TLS Config.
  ## For advanced options: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/v1.18.3/docs/TLS.md
  ##
  ## Set one or more allowed client CA certificate file names to
  ## enable mutually authenticated TLS connections.
  # tls_allowed_cacerts = ["/etc/telegraf/clientca.pem"]
  ## Add service certificate and key.
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
```

### Schema

The OpenTelemetry->InfluxDB conversion [schema][1] and [implementation][2] are
hosted at <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-observability> .

Spans are stored in measurement `spans`.
Logs are stored in measurement `logs`.

For metrics, two output schemata exist.  Metrics received with
`metrics_schema=prometheus-v1` are assigned measurement from the OTel field
`Metric.name`.  Metrics received with `metrics_schema=prometheus-v2` are stored
in measurement `prometheus`.

Also see the OpenTelemetry output plugin for Telegraf.
