OpAMP in Action: User Configurable Observability Pipelines
summary
Demonstrates using OpAMP to push live remote configs to OpenTelemetry Collector so pipelines change without rebuilding images: a working demo applies a regex processor, then a JSON processor and a trace parser to convert messy Docker logs into structured OTLP logs with traceID/spanID lifted into top‑level fields and severity mapped, applied dynamically. Notes failure modes—misconfiguration and restarts risking data loss—and concrete mitigations: persistent queue (file storage) and Kafka receiver/exporter; collector extension is alpha and supervisor is actively developed.
