Learn how to ingest OTEL metrics with groundcover
Last updated
groundcover fully supports the ingestion of metrics in the Open Telemetry format, displaying them as custom metrics in our platform, allowing to build custom dashboards and setting up alerts.
OTLP Metrics generated from Kubernetes pods can be ingested directly by our Custom Metrics
deployment. Ingestion is supported by changing the exporter endpoint to the Custom Metrics Service Endpoint, sending it directly to our Victoria Metrics backend.
Change your deployments environments variables to the endpoint found above.
Ingestion is supported for both OTLP/HTTP and OTLP/gRPC
groundcover exposes an OpenTelemetry interface as part of our inCloud Managed endpoints, which can be used to ingest data in all standard OTLP protocols for workloads which are not running alongside sensors.
These endpoints require authentication using an {apikey}
which can be fetched with the groundcover CLI using the following command:
groundcover auth print-api-key
Both gRPCs and HTTPs are supported.
Ingestion is supported for both OTLP/HTTP and OTLP/gRPC

For versions before 1.8.245, it is required to turn on custom-metrics
to enable the OTLP metrics endpoint. See docs .
The method below only supports HTTP
protocol with protobuf
payloads. For gRPC please upgrade sensor version to >1.8.245
