#12613 introduces a feature gate that allows starting the collector without pipelines. There are some open questions as to how this should work after stabilization. Some options that have been discussed are:
- Just allow the Collector to start without any pipelines configured. This has the downside that it's easier to misconfigure the Collector.
- Allow the Collector to start without any pipelines configured, if there is a suitable extension configured (like OpAMP). This seems like a natural option if there is a natural way of classifying extensions as 'allowed' to do this.
- Introduce a specific
service::pipelines::enabled
config option. This may be confusing if an external tool (again, OpAMP) configures pipelines.
I argue that this should be a blocker for moving this feature gate for beta
