Sapm Exporter

​

Overview

Please review the Collector’s security documentation, which contains recommendations on securing sensitive information such as the API key required by this exporter.

​

Configuration

• access_token (no default): AccessToken is the authentication token provided by SignalFx or another backend that supports the SAPM proto. The SignalFx access token can be obtained from the web app. For details on how to do so please refer the documentation here.
• endpoint (no default): This is the destination to where traces will be sent to in SAPM format. It must be a full URL and include the scheme, port and path e.g, https://ingest.us0.signalfx.com/v2/trace. This can be pointed to the SignalFx backend or to another Otel collector that has the SAPM receiver enabled.

• max_connections (default = 100): MaxConnections is used to set a limit to the maximum idle HTTP connection the exporter can keep open.
• num_workers (default = 8): NumWorkers is the number of workers that should be used to export traces. Exporter can make as many requests in parallel as the number of workers. Note that this will likely be removed in future in favour of processors handling parallel exporting.
• access_token_passthrough: (default = true) Whether to use "com.splunk.signalfx.access_token" trace resource attribute, if any, as SFx access token. In either case this attribute will be deleted during final translation. Intended to be used in tandem with identical configuration option for SAPM receiver to preserve trace origin.
• timeout (default = 5s): Is the timeout for every attempt to send data to the backend.
• log_detailed_response (default = false): Option to log detailed response from Splunk APM. In addition to setting this option to true, debug logging at the Collector level needs to be enabled.
