OpenTelemetry Collector component configuration. Use when authoring, reviewing, or debugging Collector YAML for a specific receiver, processor, exporter, connector, or extension — config keys, defaults, validation rules, signal support, stability levels, and component-level gotchas. Triggers on Collector component questions including receivers, processors, exporters, connectors, extensions, component renames, signal support, and pipeline wiring.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# OpenTelemetry Collector This skill covers the configuration surface of individual OpenTelemetry Collector components. It targets [opentelemetry-collector](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector) and [opentelemetry-collector-contrib](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib). It does **not** cover OTTL expressions (see `otel-ottl`), declarative SDK configuration (`otel-declarative-config`), deploying the eBPF profiler or other profiles producers (`otel-profiles`), or end-to-end pipeline design choices. Reach for those skills when the question is about transformation language, SDK setup, or pipeline composition. ## Workflow 1. **Identify the component.** Find the `type` in the user's config or question (`log_dedup`, `interval`, `otlp`, …). Note that many components have been renamed to snake_case since v0.146.0 with deprecated aliases preserved — see [Recent renames](#recent-renames). …

How to install
mdr add ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills/otel-collector@sha256:4a5c95b4cc6fce78The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.506c013, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
