Technical requirements
We assume you are working on at least Windows 10 version 2004, macOS version 11, or a relatively recent installation of Linux (e.g., Ubuntu 20.10 or later); earlier versions are not supported. We will be using the OpenTelemetry Collector version 0.73.1 and the OpenTelemetry Demo version 0.26.0. Full installation instructions for these components are provided in this chapter.
All commands and configuration files to complete these steps are included in the GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Observability-with-Grafana/tree/main/chapter3. You'll find the Code in Action videos for this chapter at https://packt.link/GNFyp.
