OpenTelemetry Collector 2,394,1262,394,126
Description
This dashboard monitors OpenTelemetry Collector performance across reception, processing, and export stages, with a focus on traffic, throughput, and resource usage. It surfaces per-metric visibility for spans, metric points, and log records, including accepted vs. refused items, batch processing characteristics, and exporter queue dynamics. Key metrics include otelcol_receiver_accepted_spans / otelcol_receiver_refused_spans, otelcol_processor_incoming_items, and Exporter Queue Usage alongside memory and runtime indicators like Total RSS Memory and Total Runtime Sys Memory to identify bottlenecks and backpressure. The dashboard also features batch-related visuals (e.g., Batch Send Size Heatmap, Batch Metrics 1, Batch Metrics 2) to diagnose throughput and batching efficiency, and Queue Capacity vs Queue Size for exporters to assess queuing pressure.
