OTel Collector v0.148.0 released on 20-03-2026
OTel Collector v0.148.0 is out now. It adds new contrib receivers and an extension plus a few build and distribution updates that matter to integrators, operators and anyone using the contrib or otelcol-k8s distributions.
For full details and component-level changelogs see the v0.148.0 contrib changelog and the v0.148.0 core changelog on GitHub.
What’s in this release
- New contrib components: ciscoosreceiver (Cisco OS telemetry), pprofreceiver (pprof-based profiling receiver), awslambda receiver (AWS Lambda telemetry), and the azure_encoding extension.
- Builder Docker image upgraded to Go 1.25 so custom collector build environments will use Go 1.25 going forward.
- otelcol-k8s distribution now includes the metricsgenerationprocessor for generating synthetic or derived metrics in Kubernetes-tailored deployments.
Upgrade notes
- Builder image Go 1.25: maintainers and integrators should check compatibility and rebuild any custom collector binaries or dependencies as required after the Go version upgrade; review the builder changes in the core changelog for details.
- No specific rollback instructions are provided in the release notes; revert to an earlier release tag using your normal rollback procedure if necessary.
