OTel Collector | v0.153.0

OTel Collector v0.153.0 released on 26-05-2026


OTel Collector v0.153.0 is out now. Operators and integrators benefit from a coordinated component version bump and dependency refresh that keeps core and contrib components aligned.

Review the component-level changelogs for details: the contrib changelog is at opentelemetry-collector-contrib v0.153.0 and the core changelog is at opentelemetry-collector v0.153.0.

What’s in this release

  • Repository and component version bumped to 0.153.0, aligning core and contrib components to the same baseline.
  • Dependency maintenance and housekeeping: collector component references refreshed across the project.
  • Release tooling updated: goreleaser pro moved to v2.16.0, which affects packaging and CI artifact generation rather than runtime behaviour.

Upgrade notes

  • No breaking changes are called out in the supplied release notes; review the core and contrib v0.153.0 changelogs for receiver/exporter/processor migration notes and component-specific changes (contrib, core).
  • Rebuild images and binaries to pick up the updated dependencies and component references; the goreleaser pro upgrade may change how artifacts are produced in CI.

Share any feedback or issues from your upgrade experience on the project repositories’ issue trackers so maintainers and the community can follow up.
