#### Vendor-agnostic way to receive, process and export telemetry data.

The OpenTelemetry Collector offers a vendor-agnostic implementation on how to receive, process and export telemetry data. In addition, it removes the need to run, operate and maintain multiple agents/collectors in order to support open-source telemetry data formats (e.g. Jaeger, Prometheus, etc.) to multiple open-source or commercial back-ends.

Objectives:

**Usable**: Reasonable default configuration, supports popular protocols, runs and collects out of the box.

**Performant**: Highly stable and performant under varying loads and configurations.

**Observable**: An exemplar of an observable service.

**Extensible**: Customizable without touching the core code.

**Unified**: Single codebase, deployable as an agent or collector with support for traces, metrics and logs.
