v1.20.0/v0.114.0

💡 Enhancements 💡

• cmd/builder: Allow for replacing of local Providers and Converters when building custom collector with ocb. (#11649)
  Use the property path under gomod to replace an go module with a local folder in
  builder-config.yaml. Ex:

  providers:
    - gomod: module.url/my/custom/provider v1.2.3
      path: /path/to/local/provider
  

• cmd/builder: Allow configuring confmap.Converter components in ocb. (#11582)
  If no converters are specified, there will be no converters added.
  Currently, the only published converter is expandconverter which is
  deprecated as of v0.107.0, but can still be added for testing purposes.

  To configure a custom converter, make sure your converter implements the converter
  interface and is published as a go module (or replaced locally if not published).
  You may then use the converters key in your OCB build manifest with a list of
  Go modules (and replaces as necessary) to include your converter.

  Please note that converters are order-dependent. The confmap will apply converters
  in order of which they are listed in your manifest if there is more than one.

• all: shorten time period before removing an unmaintained component from 6 months to 3 months (#11664)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

• all: Updates dialer timeout section documentation in confignet README (#11685)
• scraperhelper: If the scraper shuts down, do not scrape first. (#11632)
  When the scraper is shutting down, it currently will scrape at least once.
  With this change, upon receiving a shutdown order, the receiver's scraperhelper will exit immediately.

End User Changelog

🐛 Known bugs 🐛

• The ocb binary has an identified bug caused by the fact that some of the providers have been marked stable and the default providers in the ocb binary still use the unstable version. In order to fix this explicitly add the default providers in your otel builder config, if not already configured:

providers:
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/envprovider v1.17.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/fileprovider v1.17.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/httpprovider v1.17.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/httpsprovider v1.17.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/yamlprovider v1.17.0

This release removes the logging exporter. See #11337 to migrate to the debug exporter.

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

• service/telemetry: Change default metrics address to "localhost:8888" instead of ":8888" (#11251)
  This behavior can be disabled by disabling the feature gate telemetry.UseLocalHostAsDefaultMetricsAddress.

🐛 Known bugs 🐛

• The ocb binary has an identified bug caused by the fact that some of the providers have been marked stable and the default providers in the ocb binary still use the unstable version. In order to fix this explicitly add the default providers in your otel builder config, if not already configured:

providers:
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/envprovider v1.15.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/fileprovider v1.15.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/httpprovider v0.109.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/httpsprovider v0.109.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/yamlprovider v0.109.0

Alternatively you can pass the --skip-strict-version-check flag.

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

• scraperhelper: Remove deprecated ObsReport, ObsReportSettings, NewObsReport types/funcs (#11086)
• confmap: Remove stable confmap.strictlyTypedInput gate (#11008)
• confmap: Removes stable confmap.unifyEnvVarExpansion feature gate. (#11007)
• ballastextension: Removes the deprecated ballastextension (#10671)
• service: Removes stable service.disableOpenCensusBridge feature gate (#11009)

🚩 Deprecations 🚩

• processorhelper: These funcs are not used anywhere, marking them deprecated. (#11083)

🚀 New components 🚀

• extension/experimental/storage: Move extension/experimental/storage into a separate module (#11022)

💡 Enhancements 💡

• configtelemetry: Add guidelines for each level of component telemetry (#10286)

• service: move useOtelWithSDKConfigurationForInternalTelemetry gate to beta (#11091)

• service: implement a no-op tracer provider that doesn't propagate the context (#11026)
  The no-op tracer provider supported by the SDK incurs a memory cost of propagating the context no matter
  what. This is not needed if tracing is not enabled in the Collector. This implementation of the no-op tracer
  provider removes the need to allocate memory when tracing is disabled.

• envprovider: Mark module as stable (#10982)

• fileprovider: Mark module as stable (#10983)

• processor: Add incoming and outgoing counts for processors using processorhelper. (#10910)
  Any processor using the processorhelper package (this is most processors) will automatically report
  incoming and outgoing item counts. The new metrics are:

  • otelcol_processor_incoming_spans
  • otelcol_processor_outgoing_spans
  • otelcol_processor_incoming_metric_points
  • otelcol_processor_outgoing_metric_points
  • otelcol_processor_incoming_log_records
  • otelcol_processor_outgoing_log_records

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

• configgrpc: Change the value of max_recv_msg_size_mib from uint64 to int to avoid a case where misconfiguration caused an integer overflow. (#10948)
• exporterqueue: Fix a bug in persistent queue that Offer can becomes deadlocked when queue is almost full (#11015)
