Configure Exporters

The exporter is how data is sent to the Splunk AppDynamics backend. For Splunk AppDynamics for OpenTelemetry, only HTTP is supported to transmit OTLP trace export calls. Your tracer/SDKs exporter should be based on OTLP version >= 0.9.0.

In the exporters.otlphttp section, you must configure the following attributes with the Splunk AppDynamics endpoint and API key:

JSON 
exporters:
  otlphttp:
    endpoint: "<appd-endpoint>"
    headers: {"x-api-key":"<x-api-key>" }
    compression: none    # applicable only to otel-collector versions 0.44 or later.
    tls:
      insecure: false
      ca_file: /etc/ca.crt
      cert_file: /etc/server.crt
      key_file: /etc/tls.key

For more details on <x-api-key> and <appd-endpoint> see Attribute Descriptions.
