Metrics

​
Overview

​
Configuration

The following settings are optional:
  • metrics (default: see DefaultMetricsSettings): Allows enabling and disabling specific metrics from being collected in this receiver.
  • collection_interval (default = 10s): The interval at which metrics are emitted by this receiver.
  • initial_delay (default = 1s): defines how long this receiver waits before starting.
Example: 
receivers:
  active_directory_ds:
    collection_interval: 10s
    metrics:
      # Disable the active_directory.ds.replication.network.io metric from being emitted
      active_directory.ds.replication.network.io:
        enabled: false
The full list of settings exposed for this receiver is documented in config.go, along with detailed sample configurations here.
