# Custom

### Custom Extension

The Custom extension can be used to inject a custom OTel extension into a Configuration. A List of supported extensions can be found [here](https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-otel-collector/blob/main/docs/extensions.md).

### Example Configuration

In this example, we use the Custom extension type to inject the following [health check extension](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/v0.91.0/extension/healthcheckextension/README.md).

```yaml
healthcheck:
  endpoint: 0.0.0.0:13133
  path: /health
```
