Build your own collector¶

To build your own OpenTelemetry Collector that includes Neblic's Control Plane server, you need to follow this guide to install the required tool and prepare a configuration file that includes all your other required components. Then, you need to include the otelcolext extension included in Neblic's platform source code:

extensions:
  - import: github.com/neblic/platform/controlplane/server/otelcolext
    gomod: github.com/neblic/platform vX.X.X # Set the proper version
    # Optional: To be able to support `Sampler` `Data Plane` Bearer authentication
  - import: github.com/neblic/platform/controlplane/server/otelcolext/bearerauthextension
    gomod: github.com/neblic/platform vX.X.X # Set the proper version

You can use as a reference the configuration file used to build the collector that Neblic distributes.

Once built, you can configure it as described here
