Destinations - Odigos

There are two ways to add destinations to the Odigos VM Agent: use odictl or use YAML files.

odictl
YAML

Launch odictl

odictl

Select the destination menu

Use Tab to focus on the Destinations pane or press d, then press Enter or click + Add Destination with your mouse.

Select Destination section of the odictl interface

Select a destination

Type the name of the destination in the search bar at the top, and/or press Tab and scroll through the list of destinations. Once your destination is highlighted, press Enter.

Configure destination

Set each field according to your destination type. See Destinations for field details and requirements.

Fill in the required fields. Press Tab to navigate to Apply, then press Enter to save your destination.

Finish adding the destination

Select OK.

Your destination appears in the Destinations section in odictl.

Navigate to the /etc/odigos-vmagent/destinations.d folder

cd /etc/odigos-vmagent/destinations.d

Create destination YAML file

Create a YAML file for your destination’s configuration using the editor of your choice. The example below uses vi.

sudo vi example.yaml

Add the destination configuration

Set each field according to your destination type. See Destinations for field details and requirements.For example:

- name: otlphttp
  type: otlphttp
  config:
    OTLP_HTTP_COMPRESSION: none
    OTLP_HTTP_ENDPOINT: https://otlp-example.com
    OTLP_HTTP_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY: "false"
    OTLP_HTTP_OAUTH2_ENABLED: "false"
    OTLP_HTTP_TLS_ENABLED: "false"
  signals:
    - TRACES

The above is an example of an OTLP http destination.

You can define multiple destinations in a single YAML file, and you can organize destinations across multiple YAML files.

Save the file

:wq!

Verify the destination has been added successfully
