Docsgen CLI Tool
This package contains a CLI tool that generates markdown files for collector components. The markdown files present the configuration metadata extracted by the configschema API in a human readable form that can be used to manually configure the collector.
Usage
There are two modes of operation, one where markdown files are created for all components, and another where a markdown file is created for only one, specified component.
All components
docsgen all
Creates config.md files in every directory corresponding to a component configuration type.
Single component
docsgen component-type component-name
Creates a single config.md files in the directory corresponding to the specified component.
Usage Example
To create a config doc for the otlp receiver, use the command
docsgen receiver otlp
This creates a file called config.md in receiver/otlpreceiver.
