Why logs are not send to otel collector?

[alexFilichkin]

Hi,

I use java lambda with aws-otel-java-wrapper-amd64-ver-1-32-0 layer.
I see traces are sent to the otel collector, but logs were not.

How can I send logs to Otel collector using otel layer?

Im not a contributor or maintainer but from my readings; currently the lambda (external) extension collector has not been configured with a logs receiver or an exporter so its no surprise that you are not experiencing this specific telemetry signal being exported. I am unsure why, but I am definitely curious 😅 Would be very keen to hear about the intentions from those closer to the project

Setting up a logs receiver and receiving telemetry via local nextwork calls from the runtime offer sthe opportunity to forgo cloudwatch logging and the entailed cost of paying for that logging service
