    Observability now supports log ingestion via OTLP

    Section titled “Observability now supports log ingestion via OTLP”

    We are excited to announce that Observability now supports log ingestion via the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP). As this is an additional feature, the existing log ingestion URL remains unchanged and fully functional.

    The new OTLP endpoint is available in the STACKIT Portal under Observability > API > Info and can also be retrieved programmatically through the Observability API.

    To help you get started, we have provided an implementation example in the following How to push logs article.
