This source supports the OTLP/gRPC protocol. {: .note}

Configuration

You can configure the otel_logs_source source with the following options.

Option	Type	Description
port	int	Represents the port that the otel_logs_source source is running on. Default value is 21892.
path	string	Represents the path for sending unframed HTTP requests. You can use this option to support an unframed gRPC request with an HTTP idiomatic path to a configurable path. The path should start with /, and its length should be at least 1. The /opentelemetry.proto.collector.logs.v1.LogsService/Export endpoint is disabled for both gRPC and HTTP requests if the path is configured. The path can contain a ${pipelineName} placeholder, which is replaced with the pipeline name. If the value is empty and unframed_requests is true, then the path that the source provides is /opentelemetry.proto.collector.logs.v1.LogsService/Export.
request_timeout	int	Represents the request timeout duration in milliseconds. Default value is 10000.
health_check_service	Boolean	Enables the gRPC health check service under grpc.health.v1/Health/Check. Default value is false.
proto_reflection_service	Boolean	Enables a reflection service for Protobuf services (see ProtoReflectionService and gRPC reflection). Default value is false.
unframed_requests	Boolean	Enables requests that are not framed using the gRPC wire protocol. Default value is false.
thread_count	int	The number of threads to keep in the ScheduledThreadPool. Default value is 500.
