VictoriaLogs supports both client open-telemetry SDK and collector.
Client SDK #
Specify EndpointURL for http-exporter builder.
Consider the following example for golang SDK:
// Create the OTLP log exporter that sends logs to configured destination
logExporter, err := otlploghttp.New(ctx,
otlploghttp.WithEndpointURL("http://victorialogs:9428/insert/opentelemetry/v1/logs"),
)
Optionally, stream fields could be defined via headers:
// Create the OTLP log exporter that sends logs to configured destination
logExporter, err := otlploghttp.New(ctx,
otlploghttp.WithEndpointURL("http://victorialogs:9428/insert/opentelemetry/v1/logs"),
otlploghttp.WithHeaders(map[string]string{"VL-Stream-Fields": "telemetry.sdk.language,severity"}),
)
Given config defines 2 stream fields - severity and telemetry.sdk.language.
