Telemetry Tab
Thinfinity® Workspace uses the OpenTelemetry standard to collect, process, and export observability signals.
Reference
For details, see Monitoring.
The Telemetry tab allows customizing the connections to the OTLP Gateway, Metrics, and Logs databases. This tab presents the default configurations for the Telemetry feature.
The following options are available.
By default, the Gateway Collector sends data to a local database and the Server, HTTP and gRPC Port fields display the default associated parameters. If the Gateway Collector is remote the following data needs to be provided.
Server
Server IP of the Gateway.
HTTP Port
Default value, 4320. Modify if applicable.
gRPC Port
Default value, 4319. Modify if applicable.
The metrics backend integrated within Thinfinity Workspace employs VictoriaMetrics as the default time-series database. While the default deployment operates locally on the host system, it can be reconfigured to run on an external host or substituted with alternative observability solutions such as Splunk, Elastic Stack, Datadog, or Azure Monitor. The configuration interface exposes the following parameters for customization.
Type
The connection type. The default option is Local.
Note When working with distributed architectures, use the default setting, Local for the Primary Broker. For the Secondary Broker, select Remote and then enter the IP of the Primary Broker to ensure metrics are collected and stored for all the components of your deployed architecture.
Data Retention
Defines the default data retention interval. By default, this is set to one year.
URL
By default, this field is not editable, and it is completed with the value https://127.0.0.1:8428. If the Remote option is selected from the Type field, this field becomes available, and you can enter the URL where the remote backend is hosted.
Protocol
By default, this field cannot be edited and is completed with the value OTLP/HTTP. If the Remote option is selected from the Type field, this field becomes available, and you can select an alternative protocol suite.
