​The Azure Blob Storage destination saves telemetry as OTLP JSON files in Azure Blob Storage.

Configuration 

Parameter Type Default Description
telemetry_types* telemetrySelector Logs, Metrics, Traces Specifies which types of telemetry to export.
connection_string* string "" The connection string for the Azure Storage account. More information can be found here.
container* string "" Name of the Azure Storage container to export telemetry into.
prefix string "" The root directory of the blob path to export telemetry into.
blob_prefix string "" Prefix for the name of the exported telemetry files.
partition* enum minute The granularity of the timestamps in the blob path, either “minute” or “hour”.
compression enum gzip The compression algorithm to use when exporting telemetry, either “none” or “gzip”

*required field

Supported Retry and Queuing Settings 

This destination supports the following retry and queuing settings:

Example Configuration 

Basic Configuration 

For basic configuration, we specify the connection_string as well as a container, prefix, and blob_prefix. By default, we are still using a partition of minute and gzip for the compression value. This will create a blob path that looks like the following inside the otel container:

telemetry/year=2021/month=01/day=01/hour=01/minute=00/bindplanemetrics_{random_id}.json.gz
telemetry/year=2021/month=01/day=01/hour=01/minute=00/bindplanelogs_{random_id}.json.gz
telemetry/year=2021/month=01/day=01/hour=01/minute=00/bindplanetraces_{random_id}.json.gz

Specify Partition and Default Configuration 

This configuration is the same as the basic configuration but will specify a partition of hour and compression set to none. This will create a blob path that looks like the following inside the otel container:

telemetry/year=2021/month=01/day=01/hour=01/bindplanemetrics_{random_id}.json
telemetry/year=2021/month=01/day=01/hour=01/bindplanelogs_{random_id}.json
telemetry/year=2021/month=01/day=01/hour=01/bindplanetraces_{random_id}.json
