Describe the issue you're reporting

As an example of the event watcher, the receiver uses the map to represent the event object:

opentelemetry-collector-contrib/receiver/k8sobjectsreceiver/unstructured_to_logdata.go

Lines 75 to 78 in 919e970

dest := record.Body()
destMap := dest.SetEmptyMap()
//nolint:errcheck
destMap.FromRaw(e.Object)

this result taht the event JSON format will be like(use file exporter):

{"resourceLogs":[{"resource":{},"scopeLogs":[{"scope":{},"logRecords":[{"observedTimeUnixNano":"1692261066062813364","body":{"kvlistValue":{"values":[{"key":"type","value":{"stringValue":"ADDED"}},{"key":"object","value":{"kvlistValue":{"values":[{"key":"lastTimestamp","value":{"stringValue":"2023-08-17T08:31:06Z"}},{"key":"type","value":{"stringValue":"Normal"}},{"key":"reportingComponent","value":{"stringValue":""}},{"key":"apiVersion","value":{"stringValue":"v1"}},{"key":"message","value":{"stringValue":"Started container shell"}},{"key":"firstTimestamp","value":{"stringValue":"2023-08-17T08:31:06Z"}},{"key":"count","value":{"intValue":"1"}},{"key":"eventTime","value":{}},{"key":"kind","value":{"stringValue":"Event"}},{"key":"metadata","value":{"kvlistValue":{"values":[{"key":"resourceVersion","value":{"stringValue":"8018197"}},{"key":"creationTimestamp","value":{"stringValue":"2023-08-17T08:31:06Z"}},{"key":"managedFields","value":{"arrayValue":{"values":[{"kvlistValue":{"values":[{"key":"operation","value":{"stringValue":"Update"}},{"key":"apiVersion","value":{"stringValue":"v1"}},{"key":"time","value":{"stringValue":"2023-08-17T08:31:06Z"}},{"key":"fieldsType","value":{"stringValue":"FieldsV1"}},{"key":"fieldsV1","value":{"kvlistValue":{"values":[{"key":"f:message","value":{"kvlistValue":{}}},{"key":"f:reason","value":{"kvlistValue":{}}},{"key":"f:source","value":{"kvlistValue":{"values":[{"key":"f:component","value":{"kvlistValue":{}}},{"key":"f:host","value":{"kvlistValue":{}}}]}}},{"key":"f:type","value":{"kvlistValue":{}}},{"key":"f:count","value":{"kvlistValue":{}}},{"key":"f:firstTimestamp","value":{"kvlistValue":{}}},{"key":"f:involvedObject","value":{"kvlistValue":{}}},{"key":"f:lastTimestamp","value":{"kvlistValue":{}}}]}}},{"key":"manager","value":{"stringValue":"kubelet"}}]}}]}}},{"key":"name","value":{"stringValue":"node-shell-4113b2c5-d7e8-4b5d-903f-c8c59f0e537b.177c1e793d86209c"}},{"key":"namespace","value":{"stringValue":"kube-system"}},{"key":"uid","value":{"stringValue":"cffdab10-3631-4af5-bdf6-63ea3b6c02bc"}}]}}},{"key":"source","value":{"kvlistValue":{"values":[{"key":"component","value":{"stringValue":"kubelet"}},{"key":"host","value":{"stringValue":"workload-04"}}]}}},{"key":"involvedObject","value":{"kvlistValue":{"values":[{"key":"kind","value":{"stringValue":"Pod"}},{"key":"namespace","value":{"stringValue":"kube-system"}},{"key":"name","value":{"stringValue":"node-shell-4113b2c5-d7e8-4b5d-903f-c8c59f0e537b"}},{"key":"uid","value":{"stringValue":"1299adf6-a2ae-47a2-a19a-a50eadb32e3a"}},{"key":"apiVersion","value":{"stringValue":"v1"}},{"key":"resourceVersion","value":{"stringValue":"8018190"}},{"key":"fieldPath","value":{"stringValue":"spec.containers{shell}"}}]}}},{"key":"reason","value":{"stringValue":"Started"}},{"key":"reportingInstance","value":{"stringValue":""}}]}}}]}},"attributes":[{"key":"k8s.resource.name","value":{"stringValue":"events"}},{"key":"event.domain","value":{"stringValue":"k8s"}},{"key":"event.name","value":{"stringValue":"node-shell-4113b2c5-d7e8-4b5d-903f-c8c59f0e537b.177c1e793d86209c"}}],"traceId":"","spanId":""}]}]}]}

I expect the body just contain the raw event json object which can easy parse by downstream componment like fluenbit and friendly for storage .etc.

I have not context to know why use map but I suggest that we can have option to control it wheather using map or raw json.

I can sent a PR to imporve it.

@Frapschen, what's the problem you are trying to solve here? It doesn't seem like a receiver concern but rather a serialization of the file exporter.

Why it currently cannot be parsed by fluentbit?

I try to get the raw event object JSON data instead of OTLP JSON data in the log body. it's more like the file exporter concern indeed.

I use this data flow to transport event data:

otel-col-contrib -> fluentbit(v2.1.4)-opentelemetry-input

the fluentbit side will output this error log:

[2023/08/17 17:01:04] [error] [otel]: invalid value type in pack_any_value
[2023/08/17 17:01:04] [error] [otel] Failed to convert log record body
[2023/08/17 17:01:04] [error] [otel] marshalling error

After I use Vector to replace the fluenbit in this data flow, I found that the Vector is working fine and I can confirm this is a fluenbit bug fluent/fluent-bit#7840.

if we consider saving the event data into a file and using other tools like fluentbit tail to collect them, we more like hope the log body contains raw k8sobject JSON data instead of OTLP JSON data.

I agree with @dmitryax that this is not a receiver concern. According to the OTel Logs specification, body should maintain any structured data received from a third-party applications..

I also agree that it is wrong that the fileexporter is "leaking" our internal data model. It doesn't feel right that the fileexporter is printing the pdata structures, I think it should be printing a generic map[string]any.

After some research, I think we can reuse the current jsonlogencodingextension, but it will need to wait for this(#28683) PR get to merge

with #31774 merged, we can use json_log_encoding in fileexporter later

Is jsonlogencodingextension not supported on otlphttp exporter yet? I am trying to using it but seeing no results.
