OpenTelemetry Exporters
Once the OpenTelemetry SDK has created and processed telemetry, it needs to be exported. This package contains exporters
for this purpose.
Exporter Packages
The following exporter packages are provided with the following OpenTelemetry signal support.

OTLP Logs exporter
Regarding specification
otlp exporter implemented otlplogsgrpc
and otlplogshttp
clients with next protocols
supported: gprc
, http/protobuf
and http/json
.
If client is not configured explicitly ,The OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL
, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_PROTOCOL
environment variables specify the OTLP transport protocol. Supported values:
grpc
for protobuf-encoded data using gRPC wire format over HTTP/2 connection
http/protobuf
for protobuf-encoded data over HTTP connection
http/json
for JSON-encoded data over HTTP connection
package main
func main() {
ctx := context.Background()
exporter, _ := otlplogs.NewExporter(ctx) // will create exporter with http client `http/protobuf` protocol by default
}
OTEL client with grpc
Use OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=grpc
env configuration or specify http client explicitly:
exporter, _ := otlplogs.NewExporter(ctx, otlplogs.WithClient(otlplogsgrpc.NewClient()))
OTEL client with http/protobuf
Use OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=http/protobuf
env configuration or specify http client explicitly:
exporter, _ := otlplogs.NewExporter(ctx, otlplogs.WithClient(otlplogshttp.NewClient(otlplogshttp.WithProtobufProtocol())))
OTEL client with http/json
Use OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=http/json
env configuration or specify http client explicitly:
exporter, _ := otlplogs.NewExporter(ctx, otlplogs.WithClient(otlplogshttp.NewClient(otlplogshttp.WithJsonProtocol())))
StdOut Logs exporter
The logging exporter prints the name of the log along with its attributes to stdout. It's mainly used for testing and
debugging.
exporter, _ := stdoutlogs.NewExporter(ctx)
