Enhancements
Upstream OpenTelemetry Collector core updated to v0.161.0
The collector now builds on OpenTelemetry Collector core v0.161.0, picking up upstream fixes to configuration expansion, feature gate validation and scraper shutdown.
- Core collector modules move from v0.160.0 to v0.161.0 (stable modules v1.66.0 to v1.67.0). Contrib components stay on v0.160.0, the latest released version.
- An escaped
${...}expression appearing before a valid one no longer prevents the later expression from being expanded in collector configuration. The escaped text is still preserved literally. - Feature gate identifiers with an empty dot-separated segment, such as
.foo,foo.orfoo..bar, are now rejected instead of being silently accepted. - Shutdown is no longer delayed by an extra scrape when a scrape runs longer than its collection interval.
- No configuration changes are required.
