OpenTelemetry Collector Config Builder

Build, validate, and export OTel Collector YAML — no manual editing required

Build Your Collector Config

The OpenTelemetry Collector processes telemetry data through pipelines. Each pipeline connects receivers (data in), processors (transform), and exporters (data out) for a specific signal type (traces, metrics, or logs).

Start by adding components above, or select a template to see a working configuration.

About this tool

The OpenTelemetry Collector is the vendor-agnostic proxy that receives, processes, and exports telemetry data — traces, metrics, and logs. Configuring it requires writing YAML that wires receivers, processors, and exporters into service pipelines. This builder makes that process visual and error-free.

Choose from pre-built templates (traces, metrics, logs, or full-stack), add components, configure fields, and wire everything into pipelines. The live preview shows your complete collector configuration with syntax highlighting, ready to copy or download. Built-in validation catches common mistakes like missing pipeline exporters, memory limiter ordering, and duplicate endpoints.
