Sync list of receivers

[jpkrohling]

The operator knows about a few receivers, but I'm not sure this list is up to date:
https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-operator/tree/master/pkg/collector/parser

This ticket is to sync this list.

Current delta:

• awscontainermetrics
• awsxray
• dockerstats
• jmx
• k8scluster
• kubeletstats
• memcached
• nginx
• prometheusexec
• recever
• redis
• simpleprometheus
• splunk
• stanza

I'll take this @jpkrohling

The current deltas:

collector

Currently update to date. May need to compare settings to make sure everything is still following convention.

collector-contrib

• awscontainermetrics
• awsxray
• dockerstats
• jmx
• k8scluster
• kubeletstats
• memcached
• nginx
• prometheusexec
• recever
• redis
• simpleprometheus
• splunk
• stanza

@jpkrohling - What are your thoughts about the "collector-contrib" receivers? Was your plan to rely on receiver_generic.go for deltas?

[jpkrohling]

No, the generic is just an implementation detail, as most receivers can be managed in the same way. Basically, if the receiver has an endpoint property that accepts a host:port value, it can make use of the generic adapter.

[jpkrohling]

Perhaps it was implicit in the comment above, but for now, all we care about is the endpoint property for the receiver, as we'll use this to automatically add the needed ports to the Service. So, there's no need to sync the other properties in each receiver.

[gramidt]

Perfect! That's exactly what I was thinking. I'll start tackling the deltas 1-by-1 with individual PRs for each. Should we also split this into multiple issues, @jpkrohling?

[jpkrohling]

This issue here has the list of receivers already, if we reference this issue in all individual PRs, it should be fine.

[gramidt]

@jpkrohling - Could you add me as an assignee, so I can more easily track this work?

[jpkrohling]

Done

Thank you!
