Base configuration
Rotel is configured on the command line with multiple flags. See the table below for the full list of options. Rotel will also output the full argument list:
rotel start --help
All CLI arguments can also be passed as environment variable by prefixing with ROTEL_ and switching hyphens to
underscores. For example, --otlp-grpc-endpoint localhost:5317 can also be specified by setting the environment
variable ROTEL_OTLP_GRPC_ENDPOINT=localhost:5317.
Any option above that does not contain a default is considered false or unset by default.
