start_at: beginning
exporters:
otlp/highlight:
endpoint: 'https://otel.highlight.io:4317'
processors:
attributes/highlight-project:
actions:
- key: highlight.project_id
value: '<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>'
action: insert
batch:
service:
pipelines:
logs:
receivers: [filelog]
processors: [attributes/highlight-project, batch]
exporters: [otlp/highlight]
2
Run the collector
Run the OpenTelemetry collector to start streaming the file to highlight.
docker run -v /my/file/to/watch.log:/watch.log -v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/etc/otelcol-contrib/config.yaml otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib3
Verify your backend logs are being recorded.
Visit the highlight logs portal and check that backend logs are coming in.
