Configure OBI

You can configure OBI by setting export modes, global properties, and component options.

For information on the metrics OBI exports, refer to the exported metrics documentation.

Refer to the routes decorator documentation to configure the low cardinality routes decorator. It’s very important for optimal results.

Configuration versions

Use Config v2 with OBI v0.11.0 and later. It works with standalone OBI and the OBI Collector receiver, uses the OpenTelemetry declarative configuration structure for common settings, and places OBI-specific settings under extensions.obi.

• To write a new configuration, start with the Config v2 reference.
• To convert an existing Config v1 file, follow the Config v1 to v2 migration guide.

Unless otherwise noted, the other pages in this section describe Config v1. Each page links to the corresponding Config v2 guidance.
