## Overview

This extension runs as a Web server that loads the remote observers that are registered against it.

It allows users of the collectors to visualize data going through pipelines.

The following settings are required:

* `endpoint` (default = localhost:11000): The endpoint in which the web server will
  be listening to. Use localhost:`<port>` to make it available only locally, or
  ":`<port>`" to make it available on all network interfaces.

Example:

```yaml theme={null}

extensions:
  remotetap:
```

The full list of settings exposed for this exporter are documented in [config.go](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/extension/remotetapextension/config.go).
