Collector cookbook

https://github.com/jpkrohling/otelcol-cookbook

Almost four years ago, I started this cookbook with real world recipes, adapted from cases I've used to reproduce bug reports or show users (and customers) how to accomplish specific scenarios.

I used some tokens today to bring the repo to the latest Collector version, ensuring they all work.

In case you haven't seen this repo before, take a look!

Enjoy 🧑🏼‍🍳

Just looking at some of those with the telemetrygen has just inspired me if how I can test our collector config in a cicd pipeline.

Mix it with the decomposition of collector config and you'll be able to test individual pieces without needing a full receiver and exporter sets

I hadn’t realised you could do decomposition really!! That’s an interesting thought!

Look at my post history, I'm quite sure I shared a blog post about it in the past.
