+# OpenTelemetry Collector Demo
+
+This demo is a sample app to build the collector and exercise its kubernetes logs scrapping functionality.
+
+## Build and Run
+
+### Kubernetes
+
+Switch to this directory and run following command: `kubectl apply -n <namespace> -f otel-collector.yaml`
+
+#### Include/Exclude Specific Logs
+
+Kubernetes logs are being stored in `/var/log/pods`.
+Path to container logs is constructed using following pattern:
+
+`/var/log/pods/<namespace>_<pod_name>_<pod_uid>/<container>/<run_id>.log`
+
+You can use it to manage from which containers do you want to include and exclude logs.
+
+For example, to include all logs from `default` namespace, you can use following configuration:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+    - /var/log/pods/default_*/*/*.log
+exclude: []
+```
+
+### Docker Compose
+
+Two steps are required to build and run the demo:
+
+1. Build latest docker image in main repository directory `make docker-otelcontribcol`
+1. Switch to this directory and run `docker-compose up`
+
+#### Description
+
+`varlogpods` contains example log files placed in kubernetes-like directory structure.
+Each of the directory has different formatted logs in one of three formats (either `CRI-O`, `CRI-Containerd` or `Docker`).
+This directory is mounted to standard location (`/var/log/pods`).
+
+`otel-collector-config` is a configuration to autodetect and parse logs for all of three mentioned formats
+
+## Performance Tests
+
+There are multiple tests for various configurations in [`testbed`](../../testbed/tests/log_test.go).
+Following table shows result of example run:
+
+Test                                    |Result|Duration|CPU Avg%|CPU Max%|RAM Avg MiB|RAM Max MiB|Sent Items|Received Items|

+
+## ToDo
+
+To cover kubernetes system logs, logs from journald should be supported as well.
