OpenTelemetry intake API
Stack
APM Server supports receiving traces, metrics, and logs over the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP). OTLP is the default transfer protocol for OpenTelemetry and is supported natively by APM Server.
APM Server supports two OTLP communication protocols on the same port:
- OTLP/HTTP (protobuf)
- OTLP/gRPC
