TELEMETRY GENERATOR VM INSTALLATION

Prerequisites

• Create a debian 12 VM
• if necessary, create firewall rule to enable SSH the VM (see https://cloud.google.com/iap/docs/using-tcp-forwarding#firewall)
  • firewall setting to use:
    • name: ssh-to-cs-dim-telemetry-generator
    • description: Allow SSH connection from GCloud to my VM
    • Source filter: IP Range: 35.235.240.0/20
    • Destination filter: IP ranges: (put internal IP of your VM here)
    • Protocol and ports: TCP: 22

Pre-Setup

• SSH login to the VM
• install git

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
git --version

• install go (follow instruction here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-go-on-debian-10 with newer version)

curl -O https://dl.google.com/go/go1.21.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar xvf go1.21.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo chown -R root:root ./go
sudo mv go /usr/local

• edit your profile to add go path

nano ~/.profile

• Add lines below and Ctrl+X to save and leave

export GOPATH=$HOME/work
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin

• reload your profile

source ~/.profile

• check your installation

go version

Now, you can follow instructions from README.md

Don't forget to build the project the first time without

opentelemetry-collector-builder --config config/builder-config.yml

(this will take several minutes to run)

Running your command

Running your command in background

nohup command >/dev/null 2>&1 &

example:

nohup ./git/telemetry-generator/build/telemetry-generator --config $CONFIG_FILE >/dev/null 2>&1 &
