VictoriaMetrics Cloud supports integration with the OpenTelemetry Collector for ingesting metrics using the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP).
You can deploy the OpenTelemetry Collector using either the Helm chart or the Operator, depending on your preference and environment, to collect, process, and forward observability data from a wide variety of sources into VictoriaMetrics Cloud.
