A fun little side project from this weekend. A GitHub action that uses the OpenTelemetry Collector Builder under the hood to produce a custom Collector! words.boten.ca/building-the-co

boten.caBuilding the Collector, can’t someone else do it?The OpenTelemetry Collector Builder is a tool that allows users to compile their own custom instance of the Collector. This is useful in a few different scenarios. Maybe the existing distributions contain more components than you need. Choosing specific components reduces the complexity and size of the resulting Collector. In my experience, the fewer components you’re including in binaries shipped around production, the happier the security teams tend to be.

@codeboten That's pretty cool, having it build the docker container, and allowing people to specify the base image would be pretty cool there. I know a lot of people creating their own collector builder pipelines in GHA, which would simplify that.

Is it time that there was an OpenTelemetry actions repo?

@Martindotnet 100% would love to spend a bit more time to give folks the option to create a docker container.

Regarding an OTel actions repo, maybe! I can only think of one other action currently in the project, to do with repo maintenance. Do you have others in mind?

@codeboten How about one that runs a collector... useful for automated tests to output with.

Maybe one that creates tracing based build events, forwards them to that collector.
