Attach experimental OTel profiling signal to an existing OTel pipeline
domain:

· 5 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed
Verified steps
Review the current OTel profiling signal specification status before building production dependencies on it
Use the OTel Collector build that includes the experimental profiling receiver and exporter components
Configure the profiling pipeline in the Collector config alongside the existing traces, metrics, and logs pipelines
Map pprof-format profiles to the OTel profiling data model fields for stack frames and profile types
Link profiles to traces using shared trace and span IDs so flame graphs can be accessed from trace views
Known gotchas
The OTel profiling signal is experimental and the data model may change between Collector releases; pin component versions carefully
Not all backends that accept OTLP data support the profiling signal; verify your backend's roadmap before committing
Profile data volumes can be large; plan Collector memory limits and pipeline backpressure settings accordingly
