OpenTelemetry

This guide goes over integrating Nimbus with the OpenTelemetry Collector.

Steps

1. In your OTEL collector, add an otlphttp exporter - replace $API_KEY with your Nimbus API key

exporters:
  otlphttp/nimbus:
    endpoint: https://$API_KEY-otlp-intake.logs.us1.nimbus.dev:443

2. Add the otlphttp exporter to any existing pipeline that processes logs

service:
  pipelines:
    ...
    $YOUR_PIPELINE:
      ...
      exporters: [..., otlphttp/nimbus]

3. Reload existing collectors with the new configuration.

4. That's it - you're done. Nimbus is now optimizing your logs!
