08/07/2022, 2:08 AMThat's called a distribution. Specifically it is more along the lines of a minus distribution https://opentelemetry.io/docs/concepts/distributions/

08/07/2022, 3:21 AMI noticed that signoz-otel-collector is behind the contrib progress. Will these two projects eventually align?

08/08/2022, 7:28 AMI’ve now built my own distribution (maybe with some custom proecssor) and referenced signoz-otel-collector and referenced exporter via go mod, but I found that signoz v0.10.1 uses SigNoz/opentelemetry-collector-contrib, it’s quite tedious to synchronize these changes manually

08/08/2022, 7:30 AMWe will eventually archive
SigNoz/opentelemetry-collector-contribc
Cluas
08/08/2022, 7:37 AMSo for now, recommend using
SigNoz/opentelemetry-collector-contribCluas
08/08/2022, 7:39 AMWe do have plans to customize some processors ourselves, but for now it doesn’t matter, using
SigNoz/opentelemetry-collector-contrib
