OTel / OTLP — Overview
The collector supports exporting to any OTLP-compatible endpoint (OpenTelemetry Protocol). Use this path for generic OTLP receivers such as Datadog, vendor gateways, or a custom OpenTelemetry Collector.
If you want the dedicated Grafana application experience, use the separate Grafana integration instead. The Grafana app has its own plugin, datasource configuration, and dashboard pages.
What Is Exported
