# Cloudflare OpenTelemetry exporter

## Description

This worker was written to push Cloudflare Analytics data to an OpenTelemetry collector.

It is inspired by the [cloudflare-exporter](https://github.com/lablabs/cloudflare-exporter), which is unfortunately no longer maintained.

By running it as a worker and pushing metrics, we avoid the need to deploy a dedicated container and allow the worker to be run on [green compute](https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-green-compute).

## Metrics currently supported

- [x] Workers

- [x] D1

- [x] Durable Objects

- [x] Queues

- [ ] Zones

## Usage

* Clone the repo

* Modify the wrangler.toml file to include your Cloudflare account ID and API token and OTel collector endpoint

* Run `npx wrangler deploy --env dev` to deploy the worker

## How it works

* Scrape the Cloudflare Analytics API via GraphQL

* Build the metrics in a Prometheus registry  (ideally this would be directly with OTel, but ran into some challenges with threading and WASM for these SDKs)

* Convert the Prometheus registry to OTel metrics

* Push the OTel metrics to an OTel collector via protobuf (JSON encoding for OTel Metrics is broken in the Rust SDKs and is only used for testing)

## Next steps

* Add more metrics

* Help improve OTel Rust SDKs and remove dependency on Prometheus
