Overview

Build custom OpenTelemetry Collector distributions with OCB (OpenTelemetry Collector Builder). Use when authoring or debugging a builder manifest (builder.yaml), choosing component and provider versions, building a collector that bundles a custom or out-of-distribution component, setting up CI or Docker builds of a distribution, or troubleshooting OCB build failures. Triggers on "ocb", "collector builder", "custom collector distribution", "builder manifest", "builder-config", and version-mismatch errors from OCB builds.

OpenTelemetry Collector Builder (OCB)

OCB generates and compiles a custom Collector binary from a YAML manifest that lists exactly the components to include. Source of truth: cmd/builder in opentelemetry-collector.

Use OCB when the stock otelcol/otelcol-contrib distributions don't fit: you need a component that ships in no distribution, a private/local component, or a slimmer binary with only the components you run.

This skill covers building the distribution. For configuring individual components, see otel-collector; for writing a new component, see the component-authoring guidance; for generating test traffic against the built binary, see otel-telemetrygen.

Workflow

  1. Install OCB at the version matching your target Collector version (see Install).
  2. Write the manifest — dist: block plus component lists. Start from the minimal manifest; full key reference in references/manifest.md.
  3. Align versions. All core components share one v0.x.0 version, contrib components use the same v0.x.0, and confmap providers use the paired stable v1.y.0. Getting this wrong is the #1 build failure — see Version alignment.
  4. Build with ocb --config=builder.yaml (binary is named builder when installed via go install). CI, Docker, multi-arch, and local-component workflows are in references/workflows.md.
  5. Verify: run ./dist/<name> validate --config=<collector-config>.yaml, then start it and send test data (otel-telemetrygen skill). If the build fails, see references/troubleshooting.md.

Install

Pick the OCB version equal to the Collector core version you're targeting.

# Release binary (named ocb): https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/releases?q=cmd/builder
# Go install (binary is named `builder`, not `ocb`):
go install go.opentelemetry.io/collector/cmd/builder@v0.160.0

The commands below use ocb, the release-archive binary name. If you install with go install, invoke the same commands as builder ... instead.

ocb init (experimental) scaffolds a new distribution repo — manifest, Makefile, sample config, README — in --path (default .).

Minimal manifest

# builder.yaml
dist:
  name: otelcol-custom
  description: Custom OpenTelemetry Collector distribution
  output_path: ./dist
  version: 1.0.0

receivers:
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/receiver/otlpreceiver v0.160.0

processors:
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/processor/batchprocessor v0.160.0

exporters:
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/exporter/otlpexporter v0.160.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/exporter/debugexporter v0.160.0

providers:
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/fileprovider v1.66.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/envprovider v1.66.0

providers: semantics. Omitting the key entirely keeps OCB's built-in default set (env, file, http, https, yaml at the paired stable version). But setting providers: at all replaces that set. The generated Collector defaults conf_resolver.default_uri_scheme to env, so an explicit list without envprovider fails configuration validation unless you set another included provider as the default. Either omit the key, or include envprovider plus every scheme the collector's config will use.

Contrib components use the same list syntax:

processors:
  - gomod: github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/processor/tailsamplingprocessor v0.160.0

Version alignment

Two version streams exist and must be paired:

StreamModulesExample
v0.x.0OCB itself, all core components (go.opentelemetry.io/collector/...), all contrib componentsv0.160.0
v1.y.0 (stable)confmap providers (confmap/provider/...), other 1.x modules (pdata, etc.)v1.66.0

Rules:

  • Use the same v0.x.0 for every core and contrib component, matched to the OCB version.
  • The paired provider version for a given release is authoritative in that release's embedded default manifest: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/cmd/builder/v0.160.0/cmd/builder/internal/config/default.yaml — check it rather than guessing (for v0.160.0 it is v1.66.0).
  • Versions require the v prefix (v0.160.0, not 0.160.0).
  • --skip-strict-versioning defaults to true, so mismatches surface as Go module resolution errors, not friendly OCB errors. Align versions up front instead of debugging go mod tidy output.

Build commands and flags

ocb --config=builder.yaml                                  # full build: generate + go mod tidy + compile
ocb --config=builder.yaml --skip-compilation               # generate sources only (two-stage CI)
ocb --config=builder.yaml --skip-generate --skip-get-modules  # compile pre-generated sources untouched
FlagDefaultPurpose
--configembedded default manifestManifest path. With no --config, OCB builds otelcorecol, a minimal test-only distribution.
--skip-generatefalseDon't regenerate Go sources
--skip-compilationfalseGenerate sources, don't compile
--skip-get-modulesfalseDon't run go mod tidy/downloads. Since v0.154.0 also leaves go.mod unregenerated.
--skip-strict-versioningtrueSet to false to make OCB verify resolved versions against the manifest
--ldflags / --gcflags—Extra go build flags
--verbosefalseLog the underlying Go commands

Generated output in output_path: main.go, components.go, main_others.go, main_windows.go, go.mod, go.sum, and the compiled binary named dist.name. By default binaries are stripped (-s -w); set dist.debug_compilation: true for Delve-friendly builds.

# OpenTelemetry Collector Builder (OCB)

OCB generates and compiles a custom Collector binary from a YAML manifest that lists exactly the components to include. Source of truth: [cmd/builder](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/tree/main/cmd/builder) in opentelemetry-collector.

Use OCB when the stock `otelcol`/`otelcol-contrib` distributions don't fit: you need a component that ships in no distribution, a private/local component, or a slimmer binary with only the components you run.

This skill covers building the distribution. For configuring individual components, see `otel-collector`; for writing a new component, see the component-authoring guidance; for generating test traffic against the built binary, see `otel-telemetrygen`.

## Workflow

1. **Install OCB** at the version matching your target Collector version (see [Install](#install)).
2. **Write the manifest** — `dist:` block plus component lists. Start from the [minimal manifest](#minimal-manifest); full key reference in [references/manifest.md](references/manifest.md).
3. **Align versions.** All core components share one `v0.x.0` version, contrib components use the same `v0.x.0`, and confmap providers use the paired stable `v1.y.0`. Getting this wrong is the #1 build failure — see [Version alignment](#version-alignment).
4. **Build** with `ocb --config=builder.yaml` (binary is named `builder` when installed via `go install`). CI, Docker, multi-arch, and local-component workflows are in [references/workflows.md](references/workflows.md).
5. **Verify**: run `./dist/<name> validate --config=<collector-config>.yaml`, then start it and send test data (`otel-telemetrygen` skill). If the build fails, see [references/troubleshooting.md](references/troubleshooting.md).

## Install

Pick the OCB version equal to the Collector core version you're targeting.

```bash
# Release binary (named ocb): https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/releases?q=cmd/builder
# Go install (binary is named `builder`, not `ocb`):
go install go.opentelemetry.io/collector/cmd/builder@v0.160.0
```

The commands below use `ocb`, the release-archive binary name. If you install with
`go install`, invoke the same commands as `builder ...` instead.

`ocb init` (experimental) scaffolds a new distribution repo — manifest, Makefile, sample config, README — in `--path` (default `.`).

## Minimal manifest

```yaml
# builder.yaml
dist:
  name: otelcol-custom
  description: Custom OpenTelemetry Collector distribution
  output_path: ./dist
  version: 1.0.0

receivers:
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/receiver/otlpreceiver v0.160.0

processors:
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/processor/batchprocessor v0.160.0

exporters:
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/exporter/otlpexporter v0.160.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/exporter/debugexporter v0.160.0

providers:
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/fileprovider v1.66.0
  - gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/confmap/provider/envprovider v1.66.0
```

**`providers:` semantics.** Omitting the key entirely keeps OCB's built-in default set (env, file, http, https, yaml at the paired stable version). But setting `providers:` at all **replaces** that set. The generated Collector defaults `conf_resolver.default_uri_scheme` to `env`, so an explicit list without `envprovider` fails configuration validation unless you set another included provider as the default. Either omit the key, or include `envprovider` plus every scheme the collector's config will use.

Contrib components use the same list syntax:

```yaml
processors:
  - gomod: github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/processor/tailsamplingprocessor v0.160.0
```

## Version alignment

Two version streams exist and must be paired:

| Stream | Modules | Example |
|--------|---------|---------|
| `v0.x.0` | OCB itself, all core components (`go.opentelemetry.io/collector/...`), all contrib components | `v0.160.0` |
| `v1.y.0` (stable) | confmap providers (`confmap/provider/...`), other 1.x modules (pdata, etc.) | `v1.66.0` |

Rules:

- Use the **same `v0.x.0`** for every core and contrib component, matched to the OCB version.
- The paired provider version for a given release is authoritative in that release's embedded default manifest: `https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/cmd/builder/v0.160.0/cmd/builder/internal/config/default.yaml` — check it rather than guessing (for `v0.160.0` it is `v1.66.0`).
- Versions require the `v` prefix (`v0.160.0`, not `0.160.0`).
- `--skip-strict-versioning` defaults to `true`, so mismatches surface as Go module resolution errors, not friendly OCB errors. Align versions up front instead of debugging `go mod tidy` output.

## Build commands and flags

```bash
ocb --config=builder.yaml                                  # full build: generate + go mod tidy + compile
ocb --config=builder.yaml --skip-compilation               # generate sources only (two-stage CI)
ocb --config=builder.yaml --skip-generate --skip-get-modules  # compile pre-generated sources untouched
```

| Flag | Default | Purpose |
|------|---------|---------|
| `--config` | embedded default manifest | Manifest path. With no `--config`, OCB builds `otelcorecol`, a minimal test-only distribution. |
| `--skip-generate` | `false` | Don't regenerate Go sources |
| `--skip-compilation` | `false` | Generate sources, don't compile |
| `--skip-get-modules` | `false` | Don't run `go mod tidy`/downloads. Since v0.154.0 also leaves `go.mod` unregenerated. |
| `--skip-strict-versioning` | `true` | Set to `false` to make OCB verify resolved versions against the manifest |
| `--ldflags` / `--gcflags` | — | Extra `go build` flags |
| `--verbose` | `false` | Log the underlying Go commands |

Generated output in `output_path`: `main.go`, `components.go`, `main_others.go`, `main_windows.go`, `go.mod`, `go.sum`, and the compiled binary named `dist.name`. By default binaries are stripped (`-s -w`); set `dist.debug_compilation: true` for Delve-friendly builds.
