The OpenTelemetry Collector runs load tests on every commit to the
[opentelemetry-collector-contrib][] repository. These load tests run the binary
of collector with various configuration options per test and send traffic
through the collector. For more details about the testing environment, see
[Testbed][].

This page charts a subset of the benchmark [data][]. For the full dashboard, see
[Collector Benchmarks][].
