​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”

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
