Custom Distributions

For various reasons the existing distributions provided by the OpenTelemetry project may not meet your needs. Whether you want a smaller version, or have the need to implement custom functionality like authenticator extensions, receivers, processors, exporters or connectors. The tool used to build distributions ocb (OpenTelemetry Collector Builder) is available to build your own distributions.
