View OpenTelemetry Collectors in Splunk Enterprise

After configuring and connecting OTel Collectors to your Splunk Enterprise instance, you can view them in a table. You can monitor their status and check the details.

1. Log in to Splunk Enterprise
2. Select Settings and then select OTel Collectors under the Distributed Environment section.
3. On the OpenTelemetry Collectors page, you can see the table with OTel Collectors. The parameters are grouped into the following table columns:

   Parameters	Description
   Agent ID	The ID identifying the agent (service.instance.id)
   Service Name	Agent name (service.name)
   Namespace	Agent namespace (service.namespace)
   Version	Agent application version (service.version)
   Host Name	Agent host name (host.name)
   IP Address	Agent IP address
   CPU Architecture	The CPU architecture the host system is running on (host.arch)
   System Description	Human-readable OS version information (os.description)
   Status	The status of an agent. The possible values are OK and Offline. The status is calculated on the basis of heartbeat
   Check-in	Shows how long ago the last heartbeat of agent was sent

   

4. To see the details, select the link in the Agent ID column. It displays a page with agent details, host detail, identifying attributes, and non-identifying attributes.
   • Agent details show Capabilities that are all the functions supported by a given agent.
   • Identifying attributes are attributes that identify the agent.
   • Non-identifying attributes are attributes that don't necessarily identify the agent but they help describe where it runs.
