BDOT Collector Architecture

Deploy Bindplane Collectors with Docker Compose

Deploying a Bindplane Distribution for OpenTelemetry (BDOT) Collector with Docker Compose is based on the Linux installation.

Docker Compose Service

The BDOT Collector is deployed as a service in a Docker Compose network.

Supported Integrations

Just as with the Linux, Mac, and Windows installation, all integrations are supported.

note

Please note certain sources require special setup to work correctly, and may not always behave as expected. If you encounter any strange behavior, please let us know in our Slack Community!

Configuration

The BDOT Collector makes use of storage and config directories when mounted.

Limitations

Collector Version Upgrade

Container-based collectors are bound to the version which is specified in Docker. To change to a new version, you can re-deploy the collectors by editing the version in Docker Compose, and redeploying the collector.
