Build your own collector¶

To build your own OpenTelemetry Collector that includes Neblic's Control Plane server and its Data Plane, 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 processor included in Neblic's platform source code:

...

connectors:
  - import: github.com/neblic/platform/controlplane/server/otelcolext
    gomod: github.com/neblic/platform vX.X.X # Set the proper version

...

extensions:
  # 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.
