Generating example output

This document describes how to generate the example output used in the README's Verbosity levels section.

1. Prepare the configuration of the Collector.

   exporters:
     debug/basic:
       verbosity: basic
     debug/normal:
       verbosity: normal
     debug/detailed:
       verbosity: detailed
   
   receivers:
     otlp:
       protocols:
         grpc:
   
   service:
     pipelines:
       traces:
         exporters:
           - debug/basic
           - debug/normal
           - debug/detailed
         receivers:
           - otlp
   

2. Run the Collector (download latest version from https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/releases).

   otelcol --config config.yaml
   

3. Run the telemetrygen tool (install latest version with go install github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/cmd/telemetrygen@latest).

   telemetrygen traces --otlp-insecure
