shikhandi

shikhandi is a tiny load generator for opentelemetry and heavily inspired by this archived Omnition/synthetic-load-generator.

Usage

Usage: shikhandi <options>

Options:
    --topologyFile      string      File describing the anatomy
    --serviceNamespace  string      Set OtelCollector resource attribute: service.namespace
    --pprofAddress      string      Address of pprof server

For Processor/Exporter use the same settings supported OpenTelemetry

A secure gRPC connection for OTLP exporter would use something like following.

OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=https://127.0.0.1:4317
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_CERTIFICATE=/path/to/ca/cert.pem

And seeting scheme to http instructs exporter to use insecure connection.
