OTel Collector in one click.

What is OTel Collector?

The OpenTelemetry Collector is a vendor-agnostic agent for receiving, processing, and exporting traces, metrics, and logs via OTLP and many other protocols. It supports dozens of receiver and exporter plugins.

Run OTel Collector in Even

Even Stacks launches OTel Collector as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
2. Find OTel Collector in the one-click services and click Launch.
3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 4319, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://otel-collector.localhost.

Drive OTel Collector with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate OTel Collector directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside it, drive its UI in the browser pane, and read its logs. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up OTel Collector and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.
