+# `otelcol.connector.count`
+
+`otelcol.connector.count` counts spans, span events, metrics, data points, log records and profiles from other `otelcol` components and outputs metrics from these counts.
+
+{{< admonition type="note" >}}
+`otelcol.connector.count` is a wrapper over the upstream OpenTelemetry Collector [`count`][] connector.
+Bug reports or feature requests will be redirected to the upstream repository, if necessary.
+
+[`count`]: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/{{< param "OTEL_VERSION" >}}/connector/countconnector
+{{< /admonition >}}
+
+You can specify multiple `otelcol.connector.count` components by giving them different labels.
+
+## Usage
+
+```alloy
+otelcol.connector.count "<LABEL>" {
+  output {
+    metrics = [...]
+  }
+}
+```

+| `input` | `otelcol.Consumer` | A value that other components can use to send telemetry data to. |
+
+`input` accepts `otelcol.Consumer` traces, metrics, logs and profiles telemetry data.
+
+## Component health
+
+`otelcol.connector.count` is only reported as unhealthy if given an invalid configuration.
+
+## Debug information
+
+`otelcol.connector.count` doesn't expose any component-specific debug information.
+
+## Example
+
+### Default counts
+
+The example below accepts metrics, logs and traces, and writes them respectively to Mimir, Loki and Tempo.
+In addition it creates the default counts on them (everything is counted and the default metrics name and description are used) and writes the metrics to Mimir.
+
+```alloy
+otelcol.receiver.otlp "default" {
+  grpc {
+    endpoint = "0.0.0.0:4317"
+  }
+
+  output {
+    metrics = [
+      otelcol.exporter.otlp.mimir.input,
+      otelcol.connector.count.default.input,
+    ]
+    logs = [
+      otelcol.exporter.otlp.loki.input,
+      otelcol.connector.count.default.input,
+    ]
+    traces  = [
+      otelcol.exporter.otlp.tempo.input,
+      otelcol.connector.count.default.input,
+    ]
+  }
+}
+
+otelcol.connector.count "default" {
+  output {
+    metrics = [
+      otelcol.exporter.otlp.mimir.input,
+    ]
+  }
+}
+
+otelcol.exporter.otlphttp "mimir" {
+  client {
+    endpoint = sys.env("MIMIR_ENDPOINT) + "/otlp"
+    auth     = otelcol.auth.basic.mimir.handler
+  }
+}
+
+otelcol.auth.basic "mimir" {
+  username = sys.env("MIMIR_USERNAME")
+  password = sys.env("MIMIR_PASSWORD")
+}
+
+otelcol.exporter.otlp "loki" {
+  client {
+    endpoint = sys.env("LOKI_ENDPOINT") + "/otlp"
+    auth     = otelcol.auth.basic.loki.handler
+  }
+}
+
+otelcol.auth.basic "loki" {
+  username = sys.env("LOKI_USERNAME")
+  password = sys.env("LOKI_PASSWORD")
+}
+
+otelcol.exporter.otlp "tempo" {

+    endpoint = sys.env("TEMPO_ENDPOINT")
+    auth     = otelcol.auth.basic.tempo.handler
+  }
+}
+
+otelcol.auth.basic "tempo" {
+  username = sys.env("TEMPO_USERNAME")
+  password = sys.env("TEMPO_PASSWORD")
+}
+```
+
+### Custom counts on logs
+
+The example below accepts logs and writes them to Loki.
+In addition it creates custom counts on them and writes the metrics to Mimir.
+
+```alloy
+otelcol.receiver.otlp "default" {
+  grpc {
+    endpoint = "0.0.0.0:4317"
+  }
+

+      otelcol.connector.count.default.input,

+  }
+}
+
+otelcol.connector.count "default" {
+  logs {
+    count {
+      name = "count.all"
+    }
+    count {
