Description

I’m trying to build a custom collector using ocb on 0.114.0:

Following the docs, my manifest is:

dist:
name: otelcol-dev
description: Basic OTel Collector distribution for Developers
output_path: ./otelcol-dev
otelcol_version: 0.114.0

receivers:
- gomod:
github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/receiver/filelogreceiver v0.114.0

processors:
- gomod:
github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/processor/filterprocessor v0.114.0
github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/processor/transformprocessor v0.114.0
github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/processor/resourcedetectionprocessor v0.114.0
github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/processor/logdedupprocessor v0.114.0

exporters:
- gomod:
github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/exporter/otlphttp v0.114.0

The Error

2024-11-21T15:24:32.701+1000    INFO    internal/command.go:97  OpenTelemetry Collector Builder {"version": "0.114.0"}

I receive an error:

ocb.exe --config manifest.yaml
2024-11-21T15:23:55.397+1000    INFO    internal/command.go:97  OpenTelemetry Collector Builder {"version": "0.114.0"}

Error: invalid configuration: `otelcol_version` has been removed. To build with an older Collector API, use an older (aligned) builder version instead

[.NET] remove the pattern of "using var meterProvider" Created: 2024-03-01T10:40:02Z

It’d be good to get a follow up PR to remove the pattern of “using var meterProvider”, and prefer an explicit dispose().. We have a lot of people copying this to helper functions, and accidently causing it to get disposed() when helper method exits!

Link to sampler and propagation config in OTel operator docs Created: 2023-02-15T15:04:21Z

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-operator/pull/1442 implements a gap in configuration docs for the otel operator. We should link to these in the operator docs.

Alternatively, we can work to pull these docs into the operator docs on the website.
