# Riak Receiver

![Status](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-beta-yellow)

**Available in:** `contrib`

**Maintainers:** [@armstrmi](https://github.com/armstrmi)

**Source:** [opentelemetry-collector-contrib](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/riakreceiver)

## Supported Telemetry

![Metrics](https://img.shields.io/badge/metrics-beta-green)

## Overview

Riak metrics will be collected from the [/stats](https://docs.riak.com/riak/kv/2.2.3/developing/api/http/status) endpoint.

This Riak receiver will collect metrics for [3.x+](https://github.com/basho/riak/releases)

## Configuration

The following configuration settings are required:

* `username`
* `password`

The following configuration settings are optional:

* `endpoint` (default: `http://localhost:8098`): The URL of the node to be monitored.
* `collection_interval` (default = `60s`): This receiver collects metrics on an interval. Valid time units are `ns`, `us` (or `µs`), `ms`, `s`, `m`, `h`.
* `initial_delay` (default = `1s`): defines how long this receiver waits before starting.
* `tls`: TLS control. [By default, insecure settings are rejected and certificate verification is on](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/main/config/configtls/README.md).

### Example Configuration

```yaml theme={null}
receivers:
  riak:
    endpoint: http://localhost:8098
    username: otelu
    password: ${env:RIAK_PASSWORD}
    collection_interval: 60s
```
