System OpenTelemetry Assets provides dashboards for vizualising OpenTelemetry hosts' metrics and logs.

Collect and ingest OpenTelemetry data from the Collector's hostmetrics receiver through:

Compatible hostmetrics receiver versions are all versions >= v0.102.0.

For full functionality of the dashboards included in this content pack, you will need to ensure the following metrics are enabled in the hostmetrics receiver:

Metric Enabled by default in EDOT Collector Enabled by default in upstream Contrib Collector
CPU
system.cpu.time ✅ ✅
system.cpu.utilization ✅ ❌
system.cpu.logical.count ✅ ❌
Load
system.cpu.load_average.1m ✅ ✅
system.cpu.load_average.5m ✅ ✅
system.cpu.load_average.15m ✅ ✅
Memory
system.memory.usage ✅ ✅
system.memory.utilization ✅ ❌
Network
system.network.connections ✅ ✅
system.network.dropped ✅ ✅
system.network.errors ✅ ✅
system.network.io ✅ ✅
system.network.packets ✅ ✅
Disk
system.disk.io ✅ ✅
system.disk.io_time ✅ ✅
system.disk.operations ✅ ✅
File System
system.filesystem.usage ✅ ✅
Processes
system.processes.count ✅ ✅
system.processes.created ✅ ✅

For step-by-step instructions on how to ingest OpenTelemetry data using Elastic's distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector, see the quickstart guide.

Also, it's recommended to enable the resourcedetection processor with detection of the following resource attributes explicitly enabled:

  • host.name
  • host.id
  • host.arch
  • host.ip
  • host.mac
  • host.cpu.vendor.id
  • host.cpu.family
  • host.cpu.model.id
  • host.cpu.model.name
  • host.cpu.stepping
  • host.cpu.cache.l2.size
  • os.description
  • os.type

If individual widgets in the dashboard show errors that certain fields are not evailable, that might be an indicator of one of the following:

  • For your use case the missing data is not relevant (e.g. you are only running plain, local VMs, no Cloud metadata will be available)
  • You are using the OpenTelemetry upstream Contrib Collector (or any other, non-EDOT Collector) and some of the above-mentioned requirements are not met

This integration includes one or more Kibana dashboards that visualizes the data collected by the integration. The screenshots below illustrate how the ingested data is displayed.
