Managing extensions using API (required if your exporter platform supports)

OpenTelemetry Collector extensions enable authentication and telemetry transport between host metrics and monitoring platforms. You can configure extension YAML blocks under host settings in Cloudera Manager to authorize custom endpoints.

  1. Log in to Cloudera Manager
  2. Navigate to Hosts > Hosts Configuration tab
  3. In the search bar, search for the OpenTelemetry Collector Extensions (otelcol_extensions)
  4. Append the configuration block in YAML format for your new extension under All Hosts.

    Extension YAML example:

    Supported extensions:

    • Basicauth
    • Bearertokenauth
    • Sigv4auth
    • Spnegoauth
