Signalfx Receiver

​

Supported Telemetry

​

Overview

• Metrics in the SignalFx proto format.
• Events (Logs) in the SignalFx proto format. More information about sending custom events can be found in the SignalFx Developers Guide.

​

Configuration

• endpoint (default = localhost:9943): Address and port that the SignalFx receiver should bind to. See our security best practices doc to understand how to set the endpoint in different environments.

• tls_settings (no default): This is an optional object used to specify if TLS should be used for incoming connections. Both key_file and cert_file are required to support incoming TLS connections.
  • cert_file: Specifies the certificate file to use for TLS connection.
  • key_file: Specifies the key file to use for TLS connection.

receivers:
  signalfx:
  signalfx/advanced:
    tls:
      cert_file: /test.crt
      key_file: /test.key

:warning: When enabling the SignalFx receiver or exporter, configure both the metrics and logs pipelines.

service:
  pipelines:
    metrics:
      receivers: [signalfx]
      processors: [memory_limiter]
      exporters: [signalfx]
    logs:
