Changelog

Starting with version v0.83.0, this changelog includes only user-facing changes. If you are looking for developer-facing changes, check out CHANGELOG-API.md.

v1.52.0/v0.146.1

v0.146.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

all: Increase minimum Go version to 1.25 (#14567)

🚩 Deprecations 🚩

pdata/pprofile: Declare removed aggregation elements as deprecated. (#14528)

💡 Enhancements 💡

all: Add detailed failure attributes to exporter send_failed metrics at detailed telemetry level. (#13956) The otelcol_exporter_send_failed_{spans,metric_points,log_records} metrics now include failure attributes when telemetry level is Detailed: error.type (OpenTelemetry semantic convention describing the error class) and error.permanent (indicates if error is permanent/non-retryable). The error.type attribute captures gRPC status codes (e.g., "Unavailable", "ResourceExhausted"), standard Go context errors (e.g., "canceled", "deadline_exceeded"), and collector-specific errors (e.g., "shutdown"). This enables better alerting and debugging by providing standardized error classification.
cmd/builder: Introduce new experimental init subcommand (#14530) The new init subcommand initializes a new custom collector
cmd/builder: Add "telemetry" field to allow configuring telemetry providers (#14575) Most users should not need to use this, this field should only be set if you intend to provide your own OpenTelemetry SDK.
cmd/mdatagen: Introduce additional metadata (the version since the deprecation started, and the deprecation reason) for deprecated metrics. (#14113)
cmd/mdatagen: Add optional relationships field to entity schema in metadata.yaml (#14284)
exporter/debug: Add output_paths configuration option to control output destination when use_internal_logger is false. (#10472) When use_internal_logger is set to false, the debug exporter now supports configuring the output destination via the output_paths option. This allows users to send debug exporter output to stdout, stderr, or a file path. The default value is ["stdout"] to maintain backward compatibility.
pkg/confmap: Add experimental ToStringMapRaw function to decode confmap.Conf into a string map without losing internal types (#14480) This method exposes the internal structure of a confmap.Conf which may change at any time without prior notice

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

cmd/mdatagen: Reset aggDataPoints during metric init to avoid index out of range panic across emit cycles when reaggregation is enabled. (#14569)
cmd/mdatagen: Fix panic when mdatagen is run without arguments. (#14506)
pdata/pprofile: Fix off-by-one issue in dictionary lookups. (#14534)
pkg/config/confighttp: Fix high cardinality span name from request method from confighttp server internal telemetry (#14516) Follow spec to bound request method cardinality.
pkg/otelcol: Ignore component aliases in the otelcol components command (#14492)
pkg/otelcol: Order providers and converters in alphabetical order in the components subcommand. (#14476)

v1.51.0/v0.145.0

💡 Enhancements 💡

pkg/scraperhelper: ScraperID has been added to the logs for metrics, logs, and profiles (#14461)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

exporter/otlp_grpc: Fix the OTLP exporter balancer to use round_robin by default, as intended. (#14090)
pkg/config/configoptional: Fix Unmarshal methods not being called when config is wrapped inside Optional (#14500) This bug notably manifested in the fact that the sending_queue::batch::sizer config for exporters stopped defaulting to sending_queue::sizer, which sometimes caused the wrong units to be used when configuring sending_queue::batch::min_size and max_size.

As part of the fix, xconfmap exposes a new xconfmap.WithForceUnmarshaler option, to be used in the Unmarshal methods of wrapper types like configoptional.Optional to make sure the Unmarshal method of the inner type is called.

The default behavior remains that calling conf.Unmarshal on the confmap.Conf passed as argument to an Unmarshal method will skip any top-level Unmarshal methods to avoid infinite recursion in standard use cases.
pkg/confmap: Fix an issue where configs could fail to decode when using interpolated values in string fields. (#14413) For example, a header can be set via an environment variable to a string that is parseable as a number, e.g. 1234
pkg/service: Don't error on startup when process metrics are enabled on unsupported OSes (e.g. AIX) (#14307)

v1.50.0/v0.144.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

pkg/exporterhelper: Change verbosity level for otelcol_exporter_queue_batch_send_size metric to detailed. (#14278)
pkg/service: Remove deprecated telemetry.disableHighCardinalityMetrics feature gate. (#14373)
pkg/service: Remove deprecated service.noopTracerProvider feature gate. (#14374)

🚩 Deprecations 🚩

exporter/otlp_grpc: Rename otlp exporter to otlp_grpc exporter and add deprecated alias otlp. (#14403)
exporter/otlp_http: Rename otlphttp exporter to otlp_http exporter and add deprecated alias otlphttp. (#14396)

💡 Enhancements 💡

cmd/builder: Avoid duplicate CLI error logging in generated collector binaries by relying on cobra's error handling. (#14317)
cmd/mdatagen: Add the ability to disable attributes at the metric level and re-aggregate data points based off of these new dimensions (#10726)
cmd/mdatagen: Add optional display_name and description fields to metadata.yaml for human-readable component names (#14114) The display_name field allows components to specify a human-readable name in metadata.yaml. When provided, this name is used as the title in generated README files. The description field allows components to include a brief description in generated README files.
cmd/mdatagen: Validate stability level for entities (#14425)
pkg/xexporterhelper: Reenable batching for profiles (#14313)
receiver/nop: add profiles signal support (#14253)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

pkg/exporterhelper: Fix reference count bug in partition batcher (#14444)

v1.49.0/v0.143.0

💡 Enhancements 💡

all: Update semconv import to 1.38.0 (#14305)
exporter/nop: Add profiles support to nop exporter (#14331)
pkg/pdata: Optimize the size and pointer bytes for pdata structs (#14339)
pkg/pdata: Avoid using interfaces/oneof like style for optional fields (#14333)

v1.48.0/v0.142.0

💡 Enhancements 💡

exporter/debug: Add logging of dropped attributes, events, and links counts in detailed verbosity (#14202)
extension/memory_limiter: The memorylimiter extension can be used as an HTTP/GRPC middleware. (#14081)
pkg/config/configgrpc: Statically validate gRPC endpoint (#10451) This validation was already done in the OTLP exporter. It will now be applied to any gRPC client.
pkg/service: Add support to disabling adding resource attributes as zap fields in internal logging (#13869) Note that this does not affect logs exported through OTLP.

v1.47.0/v0.141.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

pkg/config/confighttp: Use configoptional.Optional for confighttp.ClientConfig.Cookies field (#14021)

💡 Enhancements 💡

pkg/config/confighttp: Setting compression_algorithms to an empty list now disables automatic decompression, ignoring Content-Encoding (#14131)
pkg/service: Update semantic conventions from internal telemetry to v1.37.0 (#14232)
pkg/xscraper: Implement xscraper for Profiles. (#13915)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

pkg/config/configoptional: Ensure that configoptional.None values resulting from unmarshaling are equivalent to configoptional.Optional zero value. (#14218)

v1.46.0/v0.140.0

💡 Enhancements 💡

cmd/mdatagen: metadata.yaml now supports an optional entities section to organize resource attributes into logical entities with identity and description attributes (#14051) When entities are defined, mdatagen generates AssociateWith{EntityType}() methods on ResourceBuilder that associate resources with entity types using the entity refs API. The entities section is backward compatible - existing metadata.yaml files without entities continue to work as before.
cmd/mdatagen: Add semconv reference for metrics (#13920)
connector/forward: Add support for Profiles to Profiles (#14092)
exporter/debug: Disable sending queue by default (#14138) The recently added sending queue configuration in Debug exporter was enabled by default and had a problematic default size of 1. This change disables the sending queue by default. Users can enable and configure the sending queue if needed.
pkg/config/configoptional: Mark configoptional.AddEnabledField as beta (#14021)
pkg/otelcol: This feature has been improved and tested; secure-by-default redacts configopaque values (#12369)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

all: Ensure service service.instance.id is the same for all the signals when it is autogenerated. (#14140)

v1.45.0/v0.139.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

cmd/mdatagen: Make stability.level a required field for metrics (#14070)
cmd/mdatagen: Replace optional field with requirement_level field for attributes in metadata schema (#13913) The optional boolean field for attributes has been replaced with a requirement_level field that accepts enum values: required, conditionally_required, recommended, or opt_in.
- required: attribute is always included and cannot be excluded
- conditionally_required: attribute is included by default when certain conditions are met (replaces optional: true)
- recommended: attribute is included by default but can be disabled via configuration (replaces optional: false)
- opt_in: attribute is not included unless explicitly enabled in user config When requirement_level is not specified, it defaults to recommended.
pdata/pprofile: Remove deprecated PutAttribute helper method (#14082)
pdata/pprofile: Remove deprecated PutLocation helper method (#14082)

💡 Enhancements 💡

all: Add FIPS and non-FIPS implementations for allowed TLS curves (#13990)
cmd/builder: Set CGO_ENABLED=0 by default, add the cgo_enabled configuration to enable it. (#10028)
pkg/config/configgrpc: Errors of type status.Status returned from an Authenticator extension are being propagated as is to the upstream client. (#14005)
pkg/config/configoptional: Adds new configoptional.AddEnabledField feature gate that allows users to explicitly disable a configoptional.Optional through a new enabled field. (#14021)
pkg/exporterhelper: Replace usage of gogo proto for persistent queue metadata (#14079)
pkg/pdata: Remove usage of gogo proto and generate the structs with pdatagen (#14078)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

exporter/debug: add queue configuration (#14101)

v1.44.0/v0.138.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

all: Remove deprecated type TracesConfig (#14036)
pkg/exporterhelper: Add default values for sending_queue::batch configuration. (#13766) Setting sending_queue::batch to an empty value now results in the same setup as the default batch processor configuration.
all: Add unified print-config command with mode support (redacted, unredacted), json support (unstable), and validation support. (#11775) This replaces the print-initial-config command. See the service package README for more details. The original command name print-initial-config remains an alias, to be retired with the feature flag.

💡 Enhancements 💡

all: Add keep_alives_enabled option to ServerConfig to control HTTP keep-alives for all components that create an HTTP server. (#13783)
pkg/otelcol: Avoid unnecessary mutex in collector logs, replace by atomic pointer (#14008)
cmd/mdatagen: Add lint/ordering validation for metadata.yaml (#13781)
pdata/xpdata: Refactor JSON marshaling and unmarshaling to use pcommon.Value instead of AnyValue. (#13837)
pkg/exporterhelper: Expose MergeCtx in exporterhelper's queue batch settings` (#13742)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

all: Fix zstd decoder data corruption due to decoder pooling for all components that create an HTTP server. (#13954)
pkg/otelcol: Remove UB when taking internal logs and move them to the final zapcore.Core (#14009) This can happen because of a race on accessing logsTaken.
pkg/confmap: Fix a potential race condition in confmap by closing the providers first. (#14018)

v1.43.0/v0.137.0

💡 Enhancements 💡

cmd/mdatagen: Improve validation for resource attribute enabled field in metadata files (#12722) Resource attributes now require an explicit enabled field in metadata.yaml files, while regular attributes are prohibited from having this field. This improves validation and prevents configuration errors.
all: Changelog entries will now have their component field checked against a list of valid components. (#13924) This will ensure a more standardized changelog format which makes it easier to parse.
pkg/pdata: Mark featuregate pdata.useCustomProtoEncoding as stable (#13883)

v1.42.0/v0.136.0

💡 Enhancements 💡

xpdata: Add Serialization and Deserialization of AnyValue (#12826)
debugexporter: add support for batching (#13791) The default queue size is 1
configtls: Add early validation for TLS server configurations to fail fast when certificates are missing instead of failing at runtime. (#13130, #13245)
mdatagen: Expose stability level in generated metric documentation (#13748)
internal/tools: Add support for modernize in Makefile (#13796)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

otelcol: Fix a potential deadlock during collector shutdown. (#13740)
otlpexporter: fix the validation of unix socket endpoints (#13826)

v1.41.0/v0.135.0

💡 Enhancements 💡

exporterhelper: Add new exporter_queue_batch_send_size and exporter_queue_batch_send_size_bytes metrics, showing the size of telemetry batches from the exporter. (#12894)

v1.40.0/v0.134.0

💡 Enhancements 💡

pdata: Add custom grpc/encoding that replaces proto and calls into the custom marshal/unmarshal logic in pdata. (#13631) This change should not affect other gRPC calls since it fallbacks to the default grpc/proto encoding if requests are not pdata/otlp requests.
pdata: Avoid copying the pcommon.Map when same origin (#13731) This is a very large improvement if using OTTL with map functions since it will avoid a map copy.
exporterhelper: Respect num_consumers when batching and partitioning are enabled. (#13607)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

pdata: Correctly parse OTLP payloads containing non-packed repeated primitive fields (#13727, #13730) This bug prevented the Collector from ingesting most Histogram, ExponentialHistogram, and Profile payloads.

v1.39.0/v0.133.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

all: Increase minimum Go version to 1.24 (#13627)

💡 Enhancements 💡

otlphttpexporter: Add profiles_endpoint configuration option to allow custom endpoint for profiles data export (#13504) The profiles_endpoint configuration follows the same pattern as traces_endpoint, metrics_endpoint, and logs_endpoint. When specified, profiles data will be sent to the custom URL instead of the default {endpoint}/v1development/profiles.
pdata: Add support for local memory pooling for data objects. (#13678) This is still an early experimental (alpha) feature. Do not recommended to be used production. To enable use "--featuregate=+pdata.useProtoPooling"
pdata: Optimize CopyTo messages to avoid any copy when same source and destination (#13680)
receiverhelper: New feature flag to make receiverhelper distinguish internal vs. downstream errors using new otelcol_receiver_failed_x and otelcol_receiver_requests metrics (#12207, #12802) This is a breaking change for the semantics of the otelcol_receiver_refused_metric_points, otelcol_receiver_refused_log_records and otelcol_receiver_refused_spans metrics. These new metrics and semantics are enabled through the receiverhelper.newReceiverMetrics feature gate.
debugexporter: Add support for entity references in debug exporter output (#13324)
pdata: Fix unnecessary allocation of a new state when adding new values to pcommon.Map (#13634)
service: Implement refcounting for pipeline data owned memory. (#13631) This feature is protected by --featuregate=+pdata.useProtoPooling.
service: Add a debug-level log message when a consumer returns an error. (#13357)
xpdata: Optimize xpdata/context for persistent queue when only one value for key (#13636)
otlpreceiver: Log the listening addresses of the receiver, rather than the configured endpoints. (#13654)
pdata: Use the newly added proto marshaler/unmarshaler for the official proto Marshaler/Unmarshaler (#13637) If any problems observed with this consider to disable the featuregate --feature-gates=-pdata.useCustomProtoEncoding

configtls: Enable X25519MLKEM768 as per draft-ietf-tls-ecdhe-mlkem (#13670)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

exporterhelper: Prevent uncontrolled goroutines in batcher due to a incorrect worker pool behaviour. (#13689)
service: Ensure the insecure configuration is accounted for when normalizing the endpoint. (#13691)
configoptional: Allow validating nested types (#13579) configoptional.Optional now implements xconfmap.Validator
batchprocessor: Fix UB in batch processor when trying to read bytes size after adding request to pipeline (#13698) This bug only happens id detailed metrics are enabled and also an async (sending queue enabled) exporter that mutates data is configure.

v1.38.0/v0.132.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

componentstatus: Change the signature of the componentstatus.NewEvent to accept multiple options. (#13210) Changes the signature of the component.NewEvent to accept multiple EventBuilderOption, like the new WithAttributes constructor.

🚩 Deprecations 🚩

service: move service.noopTraceProvider feature gate to deprecated stage (#13492) The functionality of the feature gate is available via configuration with the following telemetry settings:
```
service:
  telemetry:
    traces:
      level: none
```
mdatagen: Remove the deletion of generated_component_telemetry_test.go. (#12067) This file used to be generated by mdatagen. Starting with 0.122.0, the code deletes that file. It is no longer necessary to delete the file, as code has had time to upgrade to mdatagen and delete the file.

service: The telemetry.disableHighCardinalityMetrics feature gate is deprecated (#13537) The feature gate is now deprecated since metric views can be configured. The feature gate will be removed in v0.134.0.

The metric attributes removed by this feature gate are no longer emitted by the Collector by default, but if needed, you can achieve the same functionality by configuring the following metric views:

service:
  telemetry:
    metrics:
      level: detailed
      views:
        - selector:
            meter_name: "go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/google.golang.org/grpc/otelgrpc"
          stream:
            attribute_keys:
              excluded: ["net.sock.peer.addr", "net.sock.peer.port", "net.sock.peer.name"]
        - selector:
            meter_name: "go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp"
          stream:
            attribute_keys:
              excluded: ["net.host.name", "net.host.port"]

Note that this requires setting service::telemetry::metrics::level: detailed. If you have a strong use case for using views in combination with a different level, please show your interest in https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/issues/10769.

💡 Enhancements 💡

pdata: Generate Logs/Traces/Metrics/Profiles and p[log|trace|metric|profile]ExportResponse with pdatagen. (#13597) This change brings consistency on how these structs are written and remove JSON marshaling/unmarshaling hand written logic.
confighttp: Add option to configure ForceAttemptHTTP2 to support HTTP/1 specific transport settings. (#13426)
pdata: Avoid unnecessary buffer copy when JSON marshal fails. (#13598)
cmd/mdatagen: Use a custom host implementation for lifecycle tests (#13589) Use a custom noop host implementation that implements all non-deprecated, publicly-accessible interfaces implemented by the Collector service.
processorhelper: Add processor internal duration metric. (#13231)
pdata: Improve RemoveIf for slices to not reference anymore the removed memory (#13522)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

pdata: Fix null pointer access when copying into a slice with larger cap but smaller len. (#13523)
confighttp: Fix middleware configuration field name from "middleware" to "middlewares" for consistency with configgrpc (#13444)
memorylimiterextension, memorylimiterprocessor: Memory limiter extension and processor shutdown don't throw an error if the component was not started first. (#9687) The components would throw an error if they were shut down before being started. With this change, they will no longer return an error, conforming to the lifecycle of components expected.
confighttp: Reuse zstd Reader objects (#11824)

v1.37.0/v0.131.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

confighttp: Move confighttp.framedSnappy feature gate to beta. (#10584)

💡 Enhancements 💡

exporter/debug: Move to alpha stability except profiles (#13487)
exporterhelper: Enable exporter.PersistRequestContext feature gate by default. (#13437) Request context is now preserved by default when using persistent queues. Note that Auth extensions context is not propagated through the persistent queue.
pdata: Use pdatagen to generate marshalJSON without using gogo proto jsonpb. (#13450)
otlpreceiver: Remove usage of gogo proto which uses reflect.Value.MethodByName. Removes one source of disabling DCE. (#12747)
exporterhelper: Fix metrics split logic to consider metrics description into the size. (#13418)
service: New pipeline instrumentation now differentiates internal failures from downstream errors (#13234) With the telemetry.newPipelineTelemetry feature gate enabled, the "received" and "produced" metrics related to a component now distinguish between two types of errors:
- "outcome = failure" indicates that the component returned an internal error;
- "outcome = refused" indicates that the component successfully emitted data, but returned an error coming from a downstream component processing that data.
pdata: Remove usage of text/template from pdata, improves DCE. (#12747)
architecture: New Tier 3 platform riscv64 allowing the collector to be built and distributed for this platform. (#13462)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

exporterhelper: Prevents the exporter for being stuck when telemetry data is bigger than batch.max_size (#12893)
mdatagen: Fix import paths for mdatagen component (#13069)
otlpreceiver: Error handler correctly fallbacks to content type (#13414)
pdata/pprofiles: Fix profiles JSON unmarshal logic for originalPayload. The bytes have to be base64 encoded. (#13483)
xpdata: Fix unmarshaling JSON for entities, add e2e tests to avoid this in the future. (#13480)
service: Downgrade dependency of prometheus exporter in OTel Go SDK (#13429) This fixes the bug where collector's internal metrics are emitted with an unexpected suffix in their names when users configure the service::telemetry::metrics::readers with Prometheus
service: Revert Default internal metrics config now enables otel_scope_ labels (#12939, #13344) Reverting change temporarily due to prometheus exporter downgrade. This unfortunately re-introduces the bug that instrumentation scope attributes cause errors in Prometheus exporter. See http://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/issues/12939 for details.
builder: Remove undocumented handling of DIST_* environment variables replacements (#13335)

v1.36.1/v0.130.1

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

service: Fixes bug where internal metrics are emitted with an unexpected suffix in their names when users configure service::telemetry::metrics::readers with Prometheus. (#13449) See more details on https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/issues/7039

v1.36.0/v0.130.0

❗ Known Issues ❗

Due to a bug in the prometheus exporter, if you are configuring a prometheus exporter, the collector's internal metrics will be emitted with an unexpected suffix in its name. For example, the metric otelcol_exporter_sent_spans__spans__total instead of otelcol_exporter_sent_spans_total. The workaround is to manually configure without_units: true in your prometheus exporter config
```
service:
  telemetry:
    metrics:
      readers:
        - pull:
            exporter:
              prometheus:
                host: 0.0.0.0
                port: 8888
                without_units: true
```
If you are using the collector's default Prometheus exporter for exporting internal metrics you are unaffected.

exporter/otlp: Remove deprecated batcher config from OTLP, use queuebatch (#13339)

💡 Enhancements 💡

exporterhelper: Enable items and bytes sizers for persistent queue (#12881)
exporterhelper: Refactor persistent storage size backup to always record it. (#12890)
exporterhelper: Add support to configure a different Sizer for the batcher than the queue (#13313)
yaml: Replaced sigs.k8s.io/yaml with go.yaml.in/yaml for improved support and long-term maintainability. (#13308)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

exporterhelper: Fix exporter.PersistRequestContext feature gate (#13342)
exporterhelper: Preserve all metrics metadata when batch splitting. (#13236) Previously, when large batches of metrics were processed, the splitting logic in metric_batch.go could cause the name field of some metrics to disappear. This fix ensures that all metric fields are properly preserved when metricRequest objects are split.
service: Default internal metrics config now enables otel_scope_ labels (#12939, #13344) By default, the Collector exports its internal metrics using a Prometheus exporter from the opentelemetry-go repository. With this change, the Collector no longer sets "without_scope_info" to true in its configuration.

This means that all exported metrics will have otel_scope_name, otel_scope_schema_url, and otel_scope_version labels corresponding to the instrumentation scope metadata for that metric.

This notably prevents an error when multiple metrics are only distinguished by their instrumentation scopes and end up aliased during export.

If this is not desired behavior, a Prometheus exporter can be explicitly configured with this option enabled.

v1.35.0/v0.129.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

exporterhelper: Remove deprecated sending_queue::blocking options, use sending_queue::block_on_overflow. (#13211)

💡 Enhancements 💡

mdatagen: Taught mdatagen to print the go list stderr output on failures, and to run go list where the metadata file is. (#13205)
service: Support setting sampler and limits under service::telemetry::traces (#13201) This allows users to enable sampling and set span limits on internal Collector traces using the OpenTelemetry SDK declarative configuration.
pdata/pprofile: Add new helper methods FromLocationIndices and PutLocation to read and modify the content of locations. (#13150)
exporterhelper: Preserve request span context and client information in the persistent queue. (#11740, #13220, #13232) It allows internal collector spans and client information to propagate through the persistent queue used by the exporters. The same way as it's done for the in-memory queue. Currently, it is behind the exporter.PersistRequestContext feature gate, which can be enabled by adding --feature-gates=exporter.PersistRequestContext to the collector command line. An exporter buffer stored by a previous version of the collector (or by a collector with the feature gate disabled) can be read by a newer collector with the feature enabled. However, the reverse is not supported: a buffer stored by a newer collector with the feature enabled cannot be read by an older collector (or by a collector with the feature gate disabled).

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

pdata: Fix copying of optional fields when the source is unset. (#13268)
service: Only allocate one set of internal log sampling counters (#13014) The case where logs are only exported to stdout was fixed in v0.126.0; this new fix also covers the case where logs are exported through OTLP.

v1.34.0/v0.128.0

service/telemetry: Mark "telemetry.disableAddressFieldForInternalTelemetry" as stable (#13152)

💡 Enhancements 💡

confighttp: Update the HTTP server span naming to use the HTTP method and route pattern instead of the path. (#12468) The HTTP server span name will now be formatted as <http.request.method> <http.route>. If a route pattern is not available, it will fall back to <http.request.method>.
service: Use configured loggers to log errors as soon as it is available (#13081)
service: Remove stabilized featuregate useOtelWithSDKConfigurationForInternalTelemetry (#13152)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

telemetry: Add generated resource attributes to the printed log messages. (#13110) If service.name, service.version, or service.instance.id are not specified in the config, they will be generated automatically. This change ensures that these attributes are also included in the printed log messages.

Now, they are added to the logger as part of the "resource" field.
confighttp and configcompression: Fix handling of snappy content-encoding in a backwards-compatible way (#10584, #12825) The collector used the Snappy compression type of "framed" to handle the HTTP content-encoding "snappy". However, this encoding is typically used to indicate the "block" compression variant of "snappy". This change allows the collector to:
- When receiving a request with encoding 'snappy', the server endpoints will peek at the first bytes of the payload to determine if it is "framed" or "block" snappy, and will decompress accordingly. This is a backwards-compatible change.
If the feature-gate "confighttp.framedSnappy" is enabled, you'll see new behavior for both client and server:
- Client compression type "snappy" will now compress to the "block" variant of snappy instead of "framed". Client compression type "x-snappy-framed" will now compress to the "framed" variant of snappy.
- Servers will accept both "snappy" and "x-snappy-framed" as valid content-encodings.

v1.31.0/v0.125.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

service: Lowercase values for 'otelcol.component.kind' attributes. (#12865)
service: Restrict the telemetry.newPipelineTelemetry feature gate to metrics. (#12856, #12933) The "off" state of this feature gate introduced a regression, where the Collector's internal logs were missing component attributes. See issue #12870 for more details on this bug.

On the other hand, the "on" state introduced an issue with the Collector's default internal metrics, because the Prometheus exporter does not currently support instrumentation scope attributes.

To solve both of these issues, this change turns on the new scope attributes for logs and traces by default regardless of the feature gate. However, the new scope attributes for metrics stay locked behind the feature gate, and will remain off by default until the Prometheus exporter is updated to support scope attributes.

Please understand that enabling the telemetry.newPipelineTelemetry feature gate may break the export of Collector metrics through, depending on your configuration. Having a batch processor in multiple pipelines is a known trigger for this.

This comes with a breaking change, where internal logs exported through OTLP will now use instrumentation scope attributes to identify the source component instead of log attributes. This does not affect the Collector's stderr output. See the changelog for v0.123.0 for a more detailed description of the gate's effects.

v1.29.0/v0.123.0

❗ Known Issues ❗

This version increases memory usage by ~0.5 MB per component in the pipelines because a separate Zap Core logger is initialized for each component. The issue is partially fixed in v0.126.0 for users who write logs to stdout, but do not export logs via OTLP. See https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/issues/13014 for more details.

(#12772) Moving the batching configuration to sending_queue::batch requires setting sending_queue::sizer to items which means that sending_queue::queue_size needs to be also increased by the average batch size number (roughly x5000 for the default batching configuration).

exporterhelper: Allow exporter memory queue to use different type of sizers. (#12708)
service: Add "telemetry.newPipelineTelemetry" feature gate to inject component-identifying attributes in internal telemetry (#12217) With the feature gate enabled, all internal telemetry (metrics/traces/logs) will include some of the following instrumentation scope attributes:
- otelcol.component.kind
- otelcol.component.id
- otelcol.pipeline.id
- otelcol.signal
- otelcol.signal.output
These attributes are defined in the Pipeline Component Telemetry RFC, and identify the component instance from which the telemetry originates. They are added automatically without changes to component code.

These attributes were already included in internal logs as regular log attributes, starting from v0.120.0. For consistency with other signals, they have been switched to scope attributes (with the exception of logs emitted to standard output), and are now enabled by the feature gate.

Please make sure that the exporter / backend endpoint you use has support for instrumentation scope attributes before using this feature. If the internal telemetry is exported to another Collector, a transform processor could be used to turn them into other kinds of attributes if necessary.
exporterhelper: Enable support to do batching using bytes sizer (#12751)
service: Add config key to set metric views used for internal telemetry (#10769) The service::telemetry::metrics::views config key can now be used to explicitly set the list of metric views used for internal telemetry, mirroring meter_provider::views in the SDK config. This can be used to disable specific internal metrics, among other uses.

This key will cause an error if used alongside other features which would normally implicitly create views, such as:
- not setting service::telemetry::metrics::level to detailed;
- enabling the telemetry.disableHighCardinalityMetrics feature flag.

- the metric name will append a _total suffix if without_type_suffix is not configured. Set without_type_suffix to true to disable this.
- units will be appended to metric name if without_units is not configured. Set without_units to true to disable this.
- a target_info metric will be emitted if without_scope_info is not configured. Set without_scope_info to true to disable this.

v1.11.0/v0.104.0

This release includes 2 very important breaking changes.

The otlpreceiver will now use localhost by default instead of 0.0.0.0. This may break the receiver in containerized environments like Kubernetes. If you depend on 0.0.0.0 disable the component.UseLocalHostAsDefaultHost feature gate or explicitly set the endpoint to 0.0.0.0.
Expansion of BASH-style environment variables, such as $FOO will no longer be supported by default. If you depend on this syntax, disable the confmap.unifyEnvVarExpansion feature gate, but know that the feature will be removed in the future in favor of ${env:FOO}.

confighttp: Allow the compression list to be overridden (#10295) Allows Collector administrators to control which compression algorithms to enable for HTTP-based receivers.
configgrpc: Revert the zstd compression for gRPC to the third-party library we were using previously. (#10394) We switched back to our compression logic for zstd when a CVE was found on the third-party library we were using. Now that the third-party library has been fixed, we can revert to that one. For end-users, this has no practical effect. The reproducers for the CVE were tested against this patch, confirming we are not reintroducing the bugs.
confmap: Adds alpha confmap.strictlyTypedInput feature gate that enables strict type checks during configuration resolution (#9532) When enabled, the configuration resolution system will:
- Stop doing most kinds of implicit type casting when resolving configuration values
- Use the original string representation of configuration values if the ${} syntax is used in inline position
confighttp: Use confighttp.ServerConfig as part of zpagesextension. See server configuration options. (#9368)

envprovider: Restricts Environment Variable names. Environment variable names must now be ASCII only and start with a letter or an underscore, and can only contain underscores, letters, or numbers. (#9531)
confighttp: Apply MaxRequestBodySize to the result of a decompressed body. This addresses GHSA-c74f-6mfw-mm4v for confighttp (#10289) When using compressed payloads, the Collector would verify only the size of the compressed payload. This change applies the same restriction to the decompressed content. As a security measure, a limit of 20 MiB was added, which makes this a breaking change. For most clients, this shouldn't be a problem, but if you often have payloads that decompress to more than 20 MiB, you might want to either configure your client to send smaller batches (recommended), or increase the limit using the MaxRequestBodySize option.

configopaque: configopaque.String implements fmt.Stringer and fmt.GoStringer, outputting [REDACTED] when formatted with the %s, %q or %#v verbs(#9213) This may break applications that rely on the previous behavior of opaque strings withfmt.Sprintfto e.g. build URLs or headers. Explicitly cast the opaque string to a string before using it infmt.Sprintf` to restore the previous behavior.

🚀 New components 🚀

extension/memory_limiter: Introduce a memory_limiter extension which receivers can use to reject incoming requests when collector doesn't have enough memory (#8632) The extension has the same configuration interface and behavior as the existing memory_limiter processor, which potentially can be deprecated and removed in the future

💡 Enhancements 💡

configtls: add cipher_suites to configtls. (#8105) Users can specify a list of cipher suites to pick from. If left blank, a safe default list is used.
service: mark telemetry.useOtelForInternalMetrics as stable (#816)
exporters: Cleanup log messages for export failures (#9219)
1. Ensure an error message is logged every time and only once when data is dropped/rejected due to export failure.
2. Update the wording. Specifically, don't use "dropped" term when an error is reported back to the pipeline. Keep the "dropped" wording for failures happened after the enabled queue.
3. Properly report any error reported by a queue. For example, a persistent storage error must be reported as a storage error, not as "queue overflow".

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

configgrpc: Update dependency to address a potential crash in the grpc instrumentation (#9296)
otlpreceiver: Ensure OTLP receiver handles consume errors correctly (#4335) Make sure OTLP receiver returns correct status code and follows the receiver contract (gRPC)
zpagesextension: Remove mention of rpcz page from zpages extension (#9328)

v1.0.1/v0.92.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

exporters/sending_queue: Do not re-enqueue failed batches, rely on the retry_on_failure strategy instead. (#8382) The current re-enqueuing behavior is not obvious and cannot be configured. It takes place only for persistent queue and only if retry_on_failure::enabled=true even if retry_on_failure is a setting for a different backoff retry strategy. This change removes the re-enqueuing behavior. Consider increasing retry_on_failure::max_elapsed_time to reduce chances of data loss or set it to 0 to keep retrying until requests succeed.
confmap: Make the option WithErrorUnused enabled by default when unmarshaling configuration (#7102) The option WithErrorUnused is now enabled by default, and a new option WithIgnoreUnused is introduced to ignore errors about unused fields.
status: Deprecate ReportComponentStatus in favor of ReportStatus. This new function does not return an error. (#9148)

service: Enable telemetry.useOtelForInternalMetrics by updating the flag to beta (#7454) The metrics generated should be consistent with the metrics generated previously with OpenCensus. Users can disable the behaviour by setting --feature-gates -telemetry.useOtelForInternalMetrics at collector start.

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

exporterhelper: fix missed metric aggregations (#9048) This ensures that context cancellation in the exporter doesn't interfere with metric aggregation. The OTel SDK currently returns if there's an error in the context used in Add. This means that if there's a cancelled context in an export, the metrics are now recorded.
service: Fix bug where MutatesData would not correctly propagate through connectors. (#9053)

v0.90.1

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

exporterhelper: Remove noisy log (#9017)

v1.0.0/v0.90.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

service: To remain backwards compatible w/ the metrics generated today, otel generated metrics will be generated without the _total suffix (#7454)
service: use WithNamespace instead of WrapRegistererWithPrefix (#8988) Using this functionality in the otel prom exporter fixes a bug where the target_info was prefixed as otelcol_target_info previously.

💡 Enhancements 💡

exporter/debug: Change default verbosity from normal to basic (#8844) This change has currently no effect, as basic and normal verbosity share the same behavior. This might change in the future though, with the normal verbosity being more verbose than it currently is (see https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/issues/7806). This is why we are changing the default to basic, which is expected to stay at the current level of verbosity (one line per batch).

v1.0.0-rcv0017/v0.88.0

💡 Enhancements 💡

fanoutconsumer: Enable runtime assertions to catch incorrect pdata mutations in the components claiming as non-mutating pdata. (#6794) This change enables the runtime assertions to catch unintentional pdata mutations in components that are claimed as non-mutating pdata. Without these assertions, runtime errors may still occur, but thrown by unrelated components, making it very difficult to troubleshoot.

v1.0.0-rcv0014/v0.82.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

service: Enable configuration of collector telemetry through prometheus reader (#7641) These options are still experimental. To enable them, users must enable both telemetry.useOtelForInternalMetrics and telemetry.useOtelWithSDKConfigurationForInternalTelemetry feature gates. This change updates metric_readers to readers to align with the configuration working group.
service: Remove experimental metric_readers.args and metric_reader.type config options.

connectors: Add "connectors", a new type of pipeline component (#2336)
- Connectors connect pipelines by acting as an exporter in one or more pipelines and simultaneously as a receiver of corresponding data in one or more other pipelines. For example:
  - The forward connector can export data to another pipeline of the same type. This allows you to merge data from multiple pipelines onto a common pipeline. Or, you can replicate data onto multiple pipelines so that it may be processed in different ways and/or exported to different backends.
  - The count connector can count data of any type. Regardless of the type of data that is counted, it emits counts as metrics onto a metrics pipeline.
- Connectors are currently disabled by default but can be enabled with the service.connectors feature gate.
- See the connectors README for more details on how to use connectors.

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

Initialized logger with collector to avoid potential race condition panic on Shutdown (#4827)
In addition to traces, now logs and metrics processors will start the memory limiter. Added thread-safe logic so only the first processor can launch the checkMemLimits go-routine and the last processor that calls shutdown to terminate it; this is done per memory limiter instance. Added memory limiter factory to cache initiated object and be reused by similar config. This guarantees a single running checkMemLimits per config (#4886)
Resolved race condition in collector when calling Shutdown (#4878)
