OTLP to Grafana Cloud

Use this guide to send collector logs to Grafana Cloud through OTLP.

1. Get Grafana Cloud OTLP Credentials

From your Grafana Cloud stack, collect:

OTLP gateway endpoint (region-specific)
Basic auth credentials or token for OTLP logs ingestion

Typical endpoint format:

https://otlp-gateway.grafana.net/otlp/v1/logs
https://otlp-gateway-prod-eu-west-2.grafana.net/otlp/v1/logs

2. Configure Collector Output

output:
  otel:
    - name: "grafana"
      enabled: true
      endpoint: "https://otlp-gateway.grafana.net/otlp/v1/logs"
      service_name: "ms-teams-agent"
      deployment_environment: "prod"
      headers:
        Authorization: "Basic <base64-credentials>"

3. Validate and Send One Cycle

ms-teams-agent validate --config ./config.yaml
ms-teams-agent test-connection --config ./config.yaml
ms-teams-agent run --config ./config.yaml --ignore-state

4. Verify Ingestion

Use a simple HTTP probe when needed:

curl -i "https://otlp-gateway.grafana.net/otlp/v1/logs" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic <base64-credentials>"

Then verify in Grafana Explore that records from service_name=ms-teams-agent are visible.
