Telemetry export to third party for Cloudera Base on premises
You can configure the OpenTelemetry pipeline to duplicate and route your collected
metrics to external, third-party destinations. To manage these export destinations without
modifying your core collector configuration, you must define your settings through the Cloudera Observability CLI or Cloudera Manager UI.
Understanding telemetry data export in Cloudera Observability Cloudera Observability exports collected telemetry data by using any exporter that the Cloudera distribution of OpenTelemetry collector supports. The exporter specification describes the encoding, transport, and delivery of telemetry data between telemetry sources, intermediate nodes such as collectors, and telemetry backends. This capability allows you to integrate Cloudera Observability with your existing services.Export configuration The export configuration allows you to send a copy of OpenTelemetry collector telemetry data to third party platforms. This does not modify your core collector configuration. You can manage your telemetry export destinations for metrics. This process duplicates the data stream so that your existing collector pipelines continue to function without interruption while distributing data into the new destinations.Prerequisites for OpenTelemetry gateway exporters in Cloudera Base on premises To set up OpenTelemetry (Otel) for real-time monitoring, you must meet key system and network prerequisites. You must upgrade to or install Cloudera Base on premises 7.3.2 or higher, enable telemetry network communication, and enable real-time monitoring through the Cloudera Manager API. Additionally, verify that the OpenTelemetry gateway is enabled on your cluster.Configuration steps for third party tool Configure third-party tool settings to manage OpenTelemetry Collector hosts, exporters, connectors, and processors by using either the Cloudera Manager UI or the CLI.Logs and Metrics location Locate OpenTelemetry Collector error logs and access self-observation metrics on the gateway host.
