4. Run Demo

Now that the mechanics of the environment are understood, it is time to use it.

Start Collector

Run the following command to start the collector:

/workspaces/$RepositoryName/dynatrace-otel-collector --config=/workspaces/$RepositoryName/config.yaml

Generate syslog Data

Open a new terminal and generate a single syslog message and send to the collector:

python /workspaces/$RepositoryName/syslog_generator.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 54526 --file /workspaces/$RepositoryName/sample_log_lines.log --count 1

Output like this will be shown:

[+] Sending 1 messages to 127.0.0.1 on port 54526
