The goal for using the OpenTelemetry Collector
- [Instructor] Let's plan out what we want to accomplish in this chapter. This diagram shows what we have so far. As we know from before, Jaeger does come with a built-in collector, and we used its OTLP Endpoints to send spans to Jaeger. In this chapter, we will set up and configure our own open telemetry collector to receive data via TLP from our application. This is all the four services. And the collector should then process our spans using a batch processor before streaming it to Jaeger using OTLP again. So technically, one collector is talking to the other. Are you ready? Let's get started.
