🚀 New components 🚀

• httpsprovider: Add the httpsprovider. This component allows the collector to fetch configurations from web servers using the HTTPS protocol. (#6683)

💡 Enhancements 💡

• exporter: Allow configuration of fields, RandomizationFactor and Multiplier, for exponential backoff algorithm when retry on failure is enabled (#6610)

• connectors: Add "connectors", a new type of pipeline component (#2336)

  • Connectors connect pipelines by acting as an exporter in one or more pipelines and simultaneously
    as a receiver of corresponding data in one or more other pipelines. For example:
    • The forward connector can export data to another pipeline of the same type. This allows you
      to merge data from multiple pipelines onto a common pipeline. Or, you can replicate data onto multiple
      pipelines so that it may be processed in different ways and/or exported to different backends.
    • The count connector can count data of any type. Regardless of the type of data that is counted, it
      emits counts as metrics onto a metrics pipeline.
  • Connectors are currently disabled by default but can be enabled with the service.connectors feature gate.
  • See the connectors README
    for more details on how to use connectors.

• service: Enable new pipelines implementation using graphs. Controlled by the service.graph featuregate. (#2336)

• builder: added ldflags command option (#6940)

• proctelemetry: Instrument proctelemetry.ProcessMetrics metrics with otel-go (#6886)

• capabilityconsumer: If the consumer has already the desired capability, don't wrap (#7116)

• confmap: Add support to resolve embedded uris inside a string, concatenate results. (#6932)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

• confmap: Fix bug in confmap validation that allowed the usage of case-insensitive keys in the configurations, despite them failing silently. (#6876)
• logging: Fix the attribute key used to identify the receiver data type in logging configuration (#7033)
