Customize Your Own OpenTelemetry Collector: An Introduction To OCB - Evan Bradley, Dynatrace & Pablo Baeyens, Datadog
Tuesday April 1, 2025 15:20 - 15:45 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrance S10 | Room C
Do you enjoy using the OpenTelemetry Collector, but can’t find a distribution with the right set of components included? Do you want to write your own components for that niche use case that only you have? Or maybe you just want a Collector that has your name on it? Give the OpenTelemetry Collector Builder (OCB) a try!

OCB is developed by the Collector maintainers and is purpose-built for easily building your own Collector. This session will cover the basics of how OCB works, then will cover a wide range of use cases, including creating release pipelines using OCB, publishing Docker images, hotfixing upstream components when a change is needed immediately, and using your own components. To tie it all together, we’ll also show how OCB is used in the wild to publish popular Collector distributions.
