That's called a distribution. Specifically it is more along the lines of a minus distribution https://opentelemetry.io/docs/concepts/distributions/

Essentially it limits the scope of stuff of the collector to what the vendor needs. You could use the contrib but using the vendors distro typically makes configuration a lot easier

I noticed that signoz-otel-collector is behind the contrib progress. Will these two projects eventually align?

Yes

I’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

We will eventually archive

SigNoz/opentelemetry-collector-contrib

and just continue the development of our distribution. It requires some work before we make the initial release.

So for now, recommend using

SigNoz/opentelemetry-collector-contrib

and waiting for the work you mentioned to finish?

We do have plans to customize some processors ourselves, but for now it doesn’t matter, using

SigNoz/opentelemetry-collector-contrib

directly will work just as well
