New component: Azure Blob Exporter

[eedorenko]

The purpose and use-cases of the new component

This exporter saves logs and traces to Azure Blob Storage.

Example configuration for the component

The following settings are required:

• connection_string (no default): Azure Blob Storage connection key, which can be found in the Azure Blob Storage resource on the Azure Portal.

The following settings can be optionally configured:

• logs_container_name (default = "logs"): Name of the container where the exporter saves blobs with logs.
• traces_container_name (default = "traces"): Name of the container where the exporter saves blobs with traces.

Example:

exporters:
  azureblob:
    connection_string: DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=accountName;AccountKey=+idLkHYcL0MUWIKYHm2j4Q==;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net

@reyang @lzchen any chance someone over at Microsoft is available to sponsor this component?

Not that I'm aware of.

@open-telemetry/collector-contrib-approvers, looks like we don't have any volunteers for this. How should we seed the round-robin list? I guess this is the first time we couldn't actually find a sponsor for a component.

[reyang]

What's the general direction here? Is it possible to leverage some general binding, e.g. Dapr https://docs.dapr.io/reference/components-reference/supported-bindings/localstorage/.

[eedorenko]

The component, along with #8834, is used to collect traces and logs from disconnected IoT Edge devices.

[jpkrohling]

I scheduled some time to talk about this during the next SIG call, given that we don't seem to have volunteers for this. Could you please confirm you are affiliated with Azure and that this is a component backed by a vendor (Microsoft)?

[pmm-sumo]

Since I volunteered as sponsor for S3 Exporter I would like to volunteer as Azure Exporter as well. As we discussed during the SIG, the work should be synchronized and share common code

[WenheLI]

@pmm-sumo - How's the Exporter component going? We have implemented a workable prototype of Azure Blob exporter. I think it would be great if we can commit some of our work into this thread.

[pmm-sumo]

@WenheLI there's a work in progress by @pdelewski. Actually the initial PR is waiting for approval by other approvers right now and the second one is also waiting in the pipeline

@pmm-sumo Wondering if there's been any progress on this front recently?

[pdelewski]

@mlavrent @pmm-sumo is no longer involved in this stuff.

[mlavrent]

@pdelewski gotcha - is there a good contact for this sort of stuff (where it's at in terms of review process etc)?

[anandmahurakar]

Does opentelemetry contrib-collector supports Azure Blob Exporter?

[pushkarnimkar]

hello @mx-psi! this'll be a great addition :)

[mx-psi]

This component does not have a sponsor and there is nobody actively wormking on it. The previous sponsor is no longer involved in the project. If you want this component to be added you will need to find a sponsor and to actively contribute the code for it.

Please refrain from '+1' or 'ping' comments, these will not get more attention to this component
