Hello everyone,
As you may know, otelcol (OpenTelemetry Collector) provides support for a limited set of exporters, including Prometheus. This limitation means that sending metrics to alternative platforms, such as InfluxDB in my case, may not be straightforward out-of-the-box.
On the other hand, otelcol-contrib (OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib) provides a wide range of exporters that allow seamless integration with various observability platforms including InfluxDB. By doing this, I eliminated one moving piece and simplified our monitoring setup. I'm happy to report that I successfully ran otelcol-contrib on Check Point, and it's working as expected.
However, I think I need assistance in correctly installing otelcol-contrib to ensure it adheres to the recommended guidelines provided by the Skyline Team.
Thank you in advance for your time and support.
