OpenTelemetry to InfluxDB Line Protocol Converter

Go Reference

This package converts OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and logs to InfluxDB line protocol. The schema is optimized for InfluxDB/IOx, a timeseries database engine that is currently under development.

Docker Image: WIP OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib

Docker Image: WIP Telegraf

Definitions

"InfluxDB"

InfluxDB "IOx"

InfluxDB "Line Protocol"

"OpenTelemetry"

OpenTelemetry "Signal"

OpenTelemetry Signal "Attribute" and Attribute naming guidelines.

OpenTelemetry Signal "Label": similar to Signal Attribute; values are type string only

OpenTelemetry Signal "Resource"

OpenTelemetry Signal "Instrumentation Library"

Signals have properties that are not free-form Attributes or Labels. These properties distinguish the OpenTelemetry Signal types. For example:

  • trace ID, span ID, parent span ID
  • metric name
  • log severity, log span ID

Conversion

Spans are assigned measurement spans. Metric points are assigned the measurement named in the Metric.name protocol buffer field. Logs are assigned measurement logs.

This exporter converts all Attributes to Line Protocol fields, without modification. In the case that application Attribute keys conflict with Resource or Instrumentation Library Attribute keys, the application loses.

The exporter converts other Signal properties to fields with key names borrowed from OTLP protocol buffer messages. For example:

  • Span.start_time_unix_nano (type fixed64) -> InfluxDB line protocol timestamp
  • Span.trace_id (type bytes) -> trace_id as hexadecimal string
  • Span.name (type string) -> name
  • Span.end_time_unix_nano (type fixed64) -> end_time_unix_nano as uint64
  • Metric.time_unix_nano (type fixed64) -> InfluxDB line protocol timestamp
  • LogRecord.time_unix_nano (type fixed64) -> InfluxDB line protocol timestamp
    • This is an optional field in the OpenTelemetry data model, but required in InfluxDB.
    • This exporter drops the LogRecord if this field value is not set.
  • LogRecord.severity_number (type enum) -> severity_number as int32
  • LogRecord.body (type opentelemetry.proto.common.v1.AnyValue) -> body as string

Some exceptions to the above exist. For example:

  • Span.events (type repeated message) -> measurement logs
  • Span.links (type repeated message) -> measurment span-links
  • Metric.description is ignored
  • Metric.unit is ignored
  • Metric values are assigned field keys gauge, counter, count, sum, inf
    • Metric conversion follows Prometheus conventions for compatibility
  • flags fields are ignored
    • These are enum with no values defines yet
