Get started with Managed Service for OpenTelemetry

Log on to the Managed Service for OpenTelemetry console.

In the left-side navigation pane, click Integration Center.

In the Open Source Frameworks section, click the OpenTelemetry card or the card for the client you want to use.

In the panel that appears, copy your token.

In the panel that appears, complete the following configuration: select a region, for example, China (Hangzhou). For the connection method, select the private endpoint for applications deployed in an Alibaba Cloud production environment, or the public endpoint for other applications. For the report method, select HTTP (recommended) or gRPC. After the configuration is complete, obtain the endpoint URL in the Access point information section. For example, if you report data over HTTP, copy the private endpoint. The endpoint URL contains the token.

Log on to the Managed Service for OpenTelemetry console.

In the left-side navigation pane, click Cluster Configurations, then click the Access point information tab.

Select a region at the top of the page, then turn on the Show Token switch in the Cluster Information section.

In the Client section, select OpenTelemetry or the client you want to use.

Copy the endpoint from the Related Information column.

Taking OpenTelemetry as an example, the Related Information column displays the following access point information:

• Report data over HTTP: A public endpoint and a private endpoint are provided. The URL is in the following format: http://tracing-analysis-dc-{region}.aliyuncs.com/adapt_{token}/api/otlp/traces.

• Report data over gRPC: A public endpoint (port 8090), a private endpoint (port 8090), and the authentication token are provided.

• Tip at the bottom: If you use Golang to report data, remove http:// from the endpoint.
