You're getting a “2021-10-19T20:18:40.556Z info builder/receivers_builder.go:112 Ignoring receiver as it is not used by any pipeline {”kind”: “receiver”, “name”: “” error message
This error happens when a component (receiver, processor, or exporter)
has been configured, but is not used in a receiver pipeline. For
example, the following error message tells you that the
smartagent/http
receiver is configured, but that it is not used by
any pipeline:
“2021-10-19T20:18:40.556Z info builder/receivers_builder.go:112 Ignoring receiver as it is not used by any pipeline {"kind": "receiver", "name": "smartagent/http"
Once configured, all components must be turned on by using pipelines in the service section. The service section is used to configure what components are activated based on the configuration found in the components sections of your configuration file. If a component is configured, but not defined within the service section, then it is not activated.
Here is a sample configuration:
service:
pipelines:
# Pipelines can contain multiple subsections, one per pipeline.
traces:
# Traces is the pipeline type.
receivers: [otlp, jaeger, zipkin]
processors: [memory_limiter, batch]
exporters: [otlp, jaeger, zipkin]
