This is an Elastic supported distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector.

Running the Elastic Distribution for OpenTelemetry Collector

To run the Elastic Distribution for OpenTelemetry Collector you can use Elastic-Agent binary downloaded for your OS and architecture. Running command

./elastic-agent otel --config otel.yml

from unpacked Elastic Agent package will run Elastic-Agent as an OpenTelemetry Collector. The --config flag needs to point to OpenTelemetry Collector Configuration file. OTel mode is available only using otel subcommand. Elastic Agent will not do any autodetection of configuration file passed when used without otel subcommand and will try to run normally.
