otelcol.exporter.logging
otelcol.exporter.logging accepts telemetry data from other otelcol components
and writes them to the console.
This component writes logs at the info level. The logging config block must be configured to write logs at the info level.
NOTE:
otelcol.exporter.loggingis a wrapper over the upstream OpenTelemetry Collectorloggingexporter. Bug reports or feature requests will be redirected to the upstream repository, if necessary.
Multiple otelcol.exporter.logging components can be specified by giving them
different labels.

Example
This example scrapes prometheus unix metrics and writes them to the console:
prometheus.exporter.unix { }
prometheus.scrape "default" {
targets = prometheus.exporter.unix.targets
forward_to = [otelcol.receiver.prometheus.default.receiver]
}
otelcol.receiver.prometheus "default" {
output {
metrics = [otelcol.exporter.logging.default.input]
}
}
otelcol.exporter.logging "default" {
verbosity = "detailed"
sampling_initial = 1
sampling_thereafter = 1
}
