@kapa.ai what permissions does airbyte need to be able to write metrics to the otel collector?

Based on the provided knowledge sources, there isn't specific information about the exact permissions Airbyte needs to write metrics to the OpenTelemetry (OTEL) collector. However, I can provide some relevant information about configuring Airbyte to send metrics to an OTEL collector: 1. Airbyte needs to be configured with the correct environment variables to enable OTEL metrics: -
PUBLISH_METRICS
should be set to "true" -
METRIC_CLIENT
should be set to "otel" -
OTEL_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT
should be set to the URL of your OTEL collector 2. The
OTEL_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT
must be a valid URL starting with "http://" or "https://". For example:
Copy code
OTEL_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT="<http://otel-collector:4317>"
3. These environment variables need to be set for various Airbyte services, including
airbyte-server
,
airbyte-worker
,
airbyte-cron
, and
airbyte-connector-builder-server
. 4. Airbyte needs network access to reach the OTEL collector at the specified endpoint. While this doesn't directly answer the question about specific permissions, it provides the basic configuration requirements for Airbyte to send metrics to an OTEL collector. The actual permissions required would depend on your specific OTEL collector setup and network configuration.
