Opentelemetry-collector: Permission request

[Abuelodelanada]

Hello mates,

As requested by Evan Caville, this is a request to add a few interfaces as auto-connect:

---

• name: Opentelemetry-collector
• description: Designed to collect, process, and export telemetry data such as metrics, logs, and traces from various sources to multiple destinations.
• snapcraft: https://github.com/canonical/opentelemetry-collector-snap/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml
• upstream: https://github.com/canonical/opentelemetry-collector-snap/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml
• upstream-relation: No formal relation
• interfaces:
  • <system-files>:

    • request-type: auto-connection

    • reasoning: The OpenTelemetry Collector (the replacement for Grafana Agent snap) is using this interface in the plugs: etc-otelcol-config and proc-sys-kernel-random. All of these are needed to be able to fetch all the telemetry we need to make this useful, and to be able to read its config file from the default path.

      We need for the permissions to be auto-connected, as the software doesn’t make sense without them being present. We have already requested a similar set of permissions for the Grafana Agent, the snap we will deprecate in favour of this one.

Thanks!

Jose

Linking the equivalent request for grafana-agent for context: Grafana-Agent: Permission Request

It sounds reasonable to me, for the same reasons it was approved for grafana-agent. +1 from me for (#voteFor) granting opentelemetry-collector auto-connection to requested interfaces

this also makes sense to me! +1 (#voteFor) for granting auto-connect of the listed system-files interfaces
