OpenTelemetry Metrics SDK

Start the Collector locally to see data being exported. Write the following file:

# otel-collector-config.yaml
receivers:
    otlp:
        protocols:
            grpc:

exporters:
    logging:

processors:
    batch:

service:
    pipelines:
        metrics:
            receivers: [otlp]
            exporters: [logging]

Then start the Docker container:

docker run \
    -p 4317:4317 \
    -v $(pwd)/otel-collector-config.yaml:/etc/otel/config.yaml \
    otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:latest

$ python example.py

The resulting metrics will appear in the output from the collector and look similar to this:
