Opentelemetry Collector的配置和使用

Collector的配置和使用

Collector配置

collector通过pipeline处理service中启用的数据。pipeline由接收遥测数据的组件构成,包括:

其次还可以通过扩展来为Collector添加功能,但扩展不需要直接访问遥测数据,且不是pipeline的一部分。扩展同样可以在service中启用。

Receivers

receiver定义了数据如何进入OpenTelemetry Collector。必须配置一个或多个receiver,默认不会配置任何receivers。

下面给出了所有可用的receivers的基本例子,更多配置可以参见receiver文档

receivers:
  opencensus:
    address: "localhost:55678"

  zipkin:
    address: "localhost:9411"

  jaeger:
    protocols:
      grpc:
      thrift_http:
      thrift_tchannel:
      thrift_compact:
      thrift_binary:

  prometheus:
    config:
      scrape_configs:
        - job_name: "caching_cluster"
          scrape_interval: 5s
          static_configs:
            - targets: ["localhost:8889"]

Processors

Processors运行在数据的接收和导出之间。虽然Processors是可选的,但有时候会建议使用Processors。

下面给出了所有可用的Processors的基本例子,更多参见Processors文档

processors:
  attributes/example:
    actions:
      - key: db.statement
        action: delete
  batch:
    timeout: 5s
    send_batch_size: 1024
  probabilistic_sampler:
    disabled: true
  span:
    name:
      from_attributes: ["db.svc", "operation"]
      separator: "::"
  queued_retry: {}
  tail_sampling:
    policies:
      - name: policy1
        type: rate_limiting
        rate_limiting:
          spans_per_second: 100

Exporters

exporter指定了如何将数据发往一个或多个后端/目标。必须配置一个或多个exporter,默认不会配置任何exporter。

下面给出了所有可用的exporters的基本例子,更多参见exporters文档

exporters:
  opencensus:
    headers: {"X-test-header": "test-header"}
    compression: "gzip"
    cert_pem_file: "server-ca-public.pem" # optional to enable TLS
    endpoint: "localhost:55678"
    reconnection_delay: 2s

  logging:
    loglevel: debug

  jaeger_grpc:
    endpoint: "http://localhost:14250"

  jaeger_thrift_http:
    headers: {"X-test-header": "test-header"}
    timeout: 5
    endpoint: "http://localhost:14268/api/traces"

  zipkin:
    endpoint: "http://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans"

  prometheus:
    endpoint: "localhost:8889"
    namespace: "default"

Service

Service部分用于配置OpenTelemetry Collector根据receivers, processors, exporters, 和extensions sections的配置会启用那些特性。service分为两部分:

  • extensions
  • pipelines

extensions包含启用的扩展,如:

    service:
      extensions: [health_check, pprof, zpages]

Pipelines有两类:

  • metrics: 采集和处理metrics数据
  • traces: 采集和处理trace数据

一个pipeline是一组 receivers, processors, 和exporters的集合。必须在service之外定义每个receiver/processor/exporter的配置,然后将其包含到pipeline中。

注:每个receiver/processor/exporter都可以用到多个pipeline中。当多个pipeline引用processor(s)时,每个pipeline都会获得该processor(s)的一个实例,这与多个pipeline中引用receiver(s)/exporter(s)的情况不同(所有pipelines仅能获得receiver/exporter的一个实例)。

下面给出了一个pipeline配置的例子,更多可以参见pipeline文档

service:
  pipelines:
    metrics:
      receivers: [opencensus, prometheus]
      exporters: [opencensus, prometheus]
    traces:
      receivers: [opencensus, jaeger]
      processors: [batch, queued_retry]
      exporters: [opencensus, zipkin]

Extensions

Extensions可以用于监控OpenTelemetry Collector的健康状态。Extensions是可选的,默认不会配置任何Extensions。

下面给出了所有可用的extensions的基本例子,更多参见extensions文档

extensions:
  health_check: {}
  pprof: {}
  zpages: {}

使用环境变量

collector配置中可以使用环境变量,如:

processors:
  attributes/example:
    actions:
      - key: "$DB_KEY"
        action: "$OPERATION"

Collector的使用

下面使用官方demo来体验一下Collector的功能

本例展示如何从OpenTelemetry-Go SDK 中导出trace和metric数据,并将其导入OpenTelemetry Collector,最后通过Collector将trace数据传递给Jaeger,将metric数据传递给Prometheus。完整的流程为:

                                          -----> Jaeger (trace)
App + SDK ---> OpenTelemtry Collector ---|
                                          -----> Prometheus (metrics)

部署到Kubernetes

k8s目录中包含本demo所需要的所有部署文件。为了简化方便,官方将部署目录集成到了一个makefile文件中。在必要时可以手动执行Makefile中的命令。

部署Prometheus operator

git clone https://github.com/coreos/kube-prometheus.git
cd kube-prometheus
kubectl create -f manifests/setup

# wait for namespaces and CRDs to become available, then
kubectl create -f manifests/

可以使用如下方式清理环境:

kubectl delete --ignore-not-found=true -f manifests/ -f manifests/setup

等待prometheus所有组件变为running状态

# kubectl get pod -n monitoring
NAME                                   READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
alertmanager-main-0                    2/2     Running   0          16m
alertmanager-main-1                    2/2     Running   0          16m
alertmanager-main-2                    2/2     Running   0          16m
grafana-7f567cccfc-4pmhq               1/1     Running   0          16m
kube-state-metrics-85cb9cfd7c-x6kq6    3/3     Running   0          16m
node-exporter-c4svg                    2/2     Running   0          16m
node-exporter-n6tnv                    2/2     Running   0          16m
prometheus-adapter-557648f58c-vmzr8    1/1     Running   0          16m
prometheus-k8s-0                       3/3     Running   0          16m
prometheus-k8s-1                       3/3     Running   1          16m
prometheus-operator-5b469f4f66-qx2jc   2/2     Running   0          16m

使用Makefile

下面使用makefile部署Jaeger,Prometheus monitor和Collector,依次执行如下命令即可:

# Create the namespace
make namespace-k8s

# Deploy Jaeger operator
make jaeger-operator-k8s

# After the operator is deployed, create the Jaeger instance
make jaeger-k8s

# Then the Prometheus instance. Ensure you have enabled a Prometheus operator
# before executing (see above).
make prometheus-k8s

# Finally, deploy the OpenTelemetry Collector
make otel-collector-k8s

等待observability命名空间下的Jaeger和Collector的Pod变为running状态

# kubectl get pod -n observability
NAME                              READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
jaeger-7b868df4d6-w4tk8           1/1     Running   0          97s
jaeger-operator-9b4b7bb48-q6k59   1/1     Running   0          110s
otel-collector-7cfdcb7658-ttc8j   1/1     Running   0          14s

可以使用make clean-k8s命令来清理环境,但该命令不会移除命名空间,需要手动删除命名空间:

kubectl delete namespaces observability

配置OpenTelemetry Collector

完成上述步骤之后,就部署好了所需要的所有资源。下面看一下Collector的配置文件

为了使应用发送数据到OpenTelemetry Collector,首先需要配置otlp类型的receiver,它使用gRpc进行通信:

...
  otel-collector-config: |
    receivers:
      # Make sure to add the otlp receiver.
      # This will open up the receiver on port 55680.
      otlp:
        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:55680
    processors:
...

上述配置会在Collector侧创建receiver,并打开55680端口,用于接收trace。剩下的配置都比较标准,唯一需要注意的是需要创建Jaeger和Prometheus exporters:

...
    exporters:
      jaeger_grpc:
        endpoint: "jaeger-collector.observability.svc.cluster.local:14250"

      prometheus:
           endpoint: 0.0.0.0:8889
           namespace: "testapp"
...
OpenTelemetry Collector service

配置中另外一个值得注意的是用于访问OpenTelemetry Collector的NodePort

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
        ...
spec:
  ports:
  - name: otlp # Default endpoint for otlp receiver.
    port: 55680
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 55680
    nodePort: 30080
  - name: metrics # Endpoint for metrics from our app.
    port: 8889
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8889
  selector:
    component: otel-collector
  type:
    NodePort

该service 会将用于访问otlp receiver的30080端口与cluster node的55680端口进行绑定,这样就可以通过静态地址<node-ip>:30080来访问Collector。

运行代码

main.go文件中可以看到完整的示例代码。要运行该代码,需要满足Go的版本>=1.13

# go run main.go
2020/10/20 09:19:17 Waiting for connection...

2020/10/20 09:19:27 Done!
2020/10/20 09:19:27 exporter stopped

该示例模拟了一个正在运行应用程序,计算10秒之后结束。

查看采集到的数据

运行go run main.go的数据流如下:

Jaeger UI

Jaeger上查询trace内容如下:

Prometheus

运行main.go结束之后,可以在Prometheus中查看该metric。其对应的Prometheus target为observability/otel-collector/0

Prometheus上查询metric内容如下:

FAQ:

  • 在运行完部署命令之后,发现Prometheus没有注册如http://10.244.1.33:8889/metrics这样的target。可以查看Prometheus pod的日志,可能是因为Prometheus没有对应的role权限导致的,将Prometheus的clusterrole修改为如下内容即可:

    kind: ClusterRole
    apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
    metadata:
      name: prometheus-k8s
      namespace: monitoring
    rules:
    - apiGroups: [""]
      resources: ["services","pods","endpoints","nodes/metrics"]
      verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]
    - apiGroups: ["extensions"]
      resources: ["ingresses"]
      verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]
    - nonResourceURLs: ["/metrics"]
      verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]
    
  • 在运行"go run main.go"时可能会遇到rpc error: code = Internal desc = grpc: error unmarshalling request: unexpected EOF这样的错误,通常因为client和server使用的proto不一致导致的。client端(即main.go)使用的proto文件目录为go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/internal/opentelemetry-proto-gen,而collector使用proto文件目录为go.opentelemetry.io/collector/internal/data/opentelemetry-proto-gen,需要比较这两个目录下的文件是否一致。如果不一致,则需要根据collector的版本为main.go生成对应的proto文件(或者可以直接更换collector的镜像,注意使用的otel/opentelemetry-collector的镜像版本)。在collector的proto目录下可以看到对应的注释和使用的proto版本,如下:

    collector使用的proto git库为opentelemetry-proto。clone该库,切换到对应版本后,执行make gen-go即可生成对应的文件。
