OpenTelemetry Protocol File Exporter

Status: Development

This document provides a placeholder for specifying an OTLP exporter capable of exporting to either a file or stdout.

Currently, it only describes the serialization of OpenTelemetry data to the OTLP JSON format.

Table of Contents

JSON File serialization

This document describes the serialization of OpenTelemetry data as JSON objects that can be stored in files.

File storage requirements

JSON lines file

This file is a JSON lines file (jsonlines.org), and therefore follows those requirements:

  • UTF-8 encoding
  • Each line is a valid JSON value
  • The line separator is \n
  • The preferred file extension is jsonl.

Streaming appending

There is no guarantee that the data in the file is ordered.

There is no guarantee in particular that timestamps will be monotonically increasing.

Telemetry data requirements

This defines the first version of the serialization scheme.

The data must be encoded according to the format specified in the OTLP JSON Encoding.

Only top-level objects, TracesData, MetricsData, and LogsData are supported.

Files must contain exactly one type of data: traces, metrics, or logs.

Examples

This is an example showing traces:
