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
