Problem using OTel / OpenTelemetry as a source

[gentijo]

Hi All, I new to Vector and I have an error that I can't make sense of and was looking for pointers to research.

For this Config

I am getting the error below which does not make sense, as it's saying both, I see it, but I don't see it.

I have tried to create different source, i.e. a File source which works find, but when I assign Otel as a source it fails.

2025-02-01T02:11:55.697404Z INFO vector::config::graph:
Available components: Shows that OTel is an available source
"otel":
component_kind: source
outputs:
port: "logs", types: ["Log"]
port: "traces", types: ["Trace"]
"file_sink":
component_kind: sink
types: ["Log", "Metric", "Trace"]
And here it can't see the component that is listed above
2025-02-01T02:11:55.697681Z ERROR vector::cli: Configuration error.
error=Input "otel" for sink "file_sink" doesn't match any components.

Thank you

I figured it out, the inputs needed to be ["otlp.traces", "otlp.logs"]

The working config is:

sources:
otlp:
type: opentelemetry
grpc:
address: 0.0.0.0:4317
http:
address: 0.0.0.0:4318
headers: []
keepalive:
max_connection_age_jitter_factor: 0.1
max_connection_age_secs: 300

sinks:
file_sink:
type: file
inputs: ["otlp.traces", "otlp.logs"]
path: /tmp/vector-%Y-%m-%d.log
encoding:
codec: json # Store logs in JSON format for easy processing
