# Custom

### Custom Processor

The Custom processor can be used to inject a custom processor configuration into a pipeline. A list of supported processors can be found [here](https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-otel-collector/blob/main/docs/processors.md).

The Custom processor is useful for solving use cases not covered by Bindplane's other processor types.

### Supported Types

| Metrics | Logs | Traces |
| ------- | ---- | ------ |
| ✓       | ✓    | ✓      |

The custom processor type can support all telemetry types, however, it is up to the user to enable / disable the correct types based on the processor being used.

### Configuration Table

| Parameter        | Type                | Default                         | Description                                                                         |
| ---------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| telemetry\_types | `telemetrySelector` | `["Logs", "Metrics", "Traces"]` | The list of telemetry types the processor will act on.                              |
| configuration    | `yaml`              | required                        | Enter any supported Processor and the YAML will be inserted into the configuration. |

### Example Configuration

Inject the following [resource processor](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/processor/resourceprocessor) configuration:

```yaml
resource:
  attributes:
    - action: upsert
      key: custom
      value: true
```
