OpenTelemetry Collector Metrics OpenCensus Exporter Example

This example shows how to use the OpenCensus Exporter to export metrics to the OpenTelemetry collector.

Installation

pip install opentelemetry-api
pip install opentelemetry-sdk
pip install opentelemetry-exporter-opencensus

Before running the example, it's necessary to run the OpenTelemetry collector and Prometheus. The :scm_web:`docker <docs/examples/opencensus-exporter-metrics/docker/>` folder contains the a docker-compose template with the configuration of those services.

pip install docker-compose
cd docker
docker-compose up

Now, the example can be executed:

python collector.py

The metrics are available in the Prometheus dashboard at http://localhost:9090/graph, look for the "requests" metric on the list.
