 ### Basic verbosity
 
 With `verbosity: basic`, the exporter outputs a single-line summary of received data with a total count of telemetry records for every batch of received logs, metrics or traces.

+# Generating example output
+
+This document describes how to generate the example output used in the [README](./README.md)'s [Verbosity levels](./README.md#verbosity-levels) section.
+
+1. Prepare the configuration of the Collector.
+
+   ```yaml
+   exporters:
+     debug/basic:
+       verbosity: basic
+     debug/normal:
+       verbosity: normal
+     debug/detailed:
+       verbosity: detailed
+
+   receivers:
+     otlp:
+       protocols:
+         grpc:
+
+   service:
+     pipelines:
+       traces:
+         exporters:
+           - debug/basic
+           - debug/normal
+           - debug/detailed
+         receivers:
+           - otlp
+   ```
+
+2. Run the Collector (download latest version from <https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/releases>).
+
+   ```console
+   otelcol --config config.yaml
+   ```
+
+3. Run the `telemetrygen` tool (install latest version with `go install github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/cmd/telemetrygen@latest`).
+
+   ```console
+   telemetrygen traces --otlp-insecure
+   ```
