Getting Started

Prerequisites

To build AWS OTel Collector locally, you will need to have Golang installed. You can download and install Golang here.

AWS OTel Collector Configuration

We built in a default configuration to our docker image and other format of release. So, you can run the AWS OTel Collector out of the box with the default settings. Also, AWS OTel Collector configuration uses the same configuration syntax/design from OpenTelemetry Collector so you can customize or port your OpenTelemetry Collector configuration files when running AWS OTel Collector. Please refer to the Try out AWS OTel Collector section on configuring AWS OTel Collector.
