I've been working on OpenTelemetry for a few years now, and regularly field questions from end-users wondering why data doesn't seem to end up where they want it. I'd say that at least half the time, switching from the gRPC exporter to the HTTP exporter simply solves it.
- flashgordon 2y agoInteresting (as someone just getting into otel) - what is causing grpc exporters to have this loss? Is this loss more by using grpc over the internet vs http or even internally within a network/vpc?
- phillipcarter 2y agoThe exporters themselves are usually fine, but it's usually something in their own network where gRPC traffic gets dropped somehow. Sometimes it's a load balance, sometimes it's something else.
