OpenTelemetry Collectors 101: From First Config to Fleet Management | EMEA Session
About this event
Time: 2 pm GMT
Your first OpenTelemetry collector config probably came from a tutorial.
It worked, and then you added more services, more environments, and a compliance team asking hard questions about PII in your traces. What started as a quick setup now has real stakes. The gap between “it runs” and “it runs well” is where most teams get stuck!
This session closes that gap. In this first installment of our OpenTelemetry at Scale series, we’ll walk through how the collector pipeline actually works, write processors that handle real-world concerns like data redaction and cost control, and show how Fleet Manager lets you manage configs across your entire infrastructure, needing no SSH marathons. Real YAML, real configs, and real mistakes you won’t have to make yourself.
Join this webinar to learn:
- How the OTel Collector pipeline works and how to configure it
- Processor patterns for PII redaction, log filtering, and cost control
- How Fleet Manager simplifies collector management at scale
- Avoiding common OpenTelemetry Collector configuration mistakes
