Data Collector for hosts

OpenTelemetry-based Data Collector for Telemetry Data (ODCD) is a collection of stand-alone OpenTelemetry receivers for databases, systems, and applications. It is based on OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions. A standard OTLP exporter is provided to forward the data from this data collector to a Telemetry backend or an OpenTelemetry Collector.

For more information, see OpenTelemetry-based sensor SDK.

Data collector for hosts gathers system-level metrics from hosts, such as CPU usage, memory consumption, disk I/O, and network traffic. Currently, Instana provides data collector for the following hosts:

  • SNMP Host
  • IBM MQ appliance
  • Simple Linux Host
