From splunk-otel-collector 0.164.0-r1 (enterprise-packages), captured 2026-11-08 by running otelcol --help (exit 0). permalink

Usage:
  otelcol [flags]
  otelcol [command]

Available Commands:
  featuregate  Display feature gates information
  validate     Validates the config without running the collector

Flags:
      --config string          Locations to the config file(s), note that only a single location can be set per flag entry e.g. --config=/path/to/first --config=path/to/second. (default "[]")
      --feature-gates string   Comma-delimited list of feature gate identifiers. Prefix with '-' to disable the feature. '+' or no prefix will enable the feature. (default "[]")
      --no-convert-config      Do not translate old configurations to the new format automatically. By default, old configurations are translated to the new format for backward compatibility.
      --set string             Set arbitrary component config property. The component has to be defined in the config file and the flag has a higher precedence. Array config properties are overridden and maps are joined. Example --set=processors.batch.timeout=2s (default "[]")
  -v, --version                Version of the collector.
