The Collect OpenTelemetry data and forward to Grafana topic needs a thorough review and updates to reduce the confusing instructions.

The following suggestions could be applied to this topic:

  • Fix the Final Configuration: Update lines 253 and 257-262 to use otelcol.exporter.otlphttp instead of otelcol.exporter.otlp for Grafana Cloud traces
  • Add Missing Integration: Show how to integrate the Grafana Cloud OTLP HTTP exporter with the batch processor
  • Clarify the Flow: Make it clear when to use HTTP vs gRPC exporters
  • Consistent Examples: Ensure all examples use the same exporter type for the same platform
  • The topic should use otelcol.exporter.otlphttp throughout for Grafana Cloud
