VisualEdge Receiver

visualedgereceiver is a custom OpenTelemetry Collector receiver that reads VisualEdge installation metadata from the local filesystem and emits OTLP-friendly metrics.

Supported pipeline types: Metrics

Getting Started

The receiver polls the local filesystem and emits:

• visualedge.installation.available
• visualedge.release.info
• visualedge.licence.info
• visualedge.licence.days_remaining

Runtime startup requires the pho_license Collector extension to be enabled and to grant at least one visualedgereceiver seat.

Example config:

extensions:
  pho_license:
    file: /etc/otelcol/license.json

receivers:
  visualedgereceiver:
    collection_interval: 30s
    timeout: 10s
    ui_dir: /opt/VisualEdge/server/webapps/ROOT/VisualEdgeUI
    gui_version_file: /opt/VisualEdge/server/webapps/ROOT/VisualEdgeUI/VisualEdgeGUIVersion.txt
    servlet_lib_dir: /opt/VisualEdge/server/webapps/ROOT/VisualEdgeServlet/WEB-INF/lib
    mosaicoapi_jar: /opt/VisualEdge/server/webapps/ROOT/VisualEdgeServlet/WEB-INF/lib/MosaicOAPI-jar-with-dependencies.jar
    license_file: /opt/VisualEdge/licence.txt

service:
  extensions: [pho_license]

Telemetry Mapping

• visualedge.installation.available: gauge with visualedge.status
• visualedge.release.info: info-style gauge with version, release time, and JAR version attributes
• visualedge.licence.info: info-style gauge with licence end date attribute
• visualedge.licence.days_remaining: numeric gauge in days
