BindPlane OpenTelemetry collector

[Aravind3]

Dear All,
Could anyone please give a documentation for how to use "BindPlane OpenTelemetry collector" for syslog collection and how to collect metric logs with the collector?
Thanks,

Syslog can mean a couple different things. If you want to open a TCP listener (similar to the SecOps forwarder) you can find details here: https://observiq.com/docs/resources/sources/tcp

If you're interested in "tail"ing a syslog file, you can use a file reader. I have an example on my github here: https://github.com/pilot006/observiq-chronicle-example-config/blob/main/config_nix.yaml

For metrics are you interested in collecting metrics from the host, or rather collecting metrics from Bindplane related to the agent?

Also could you provide the sample conf file for syslog collection?
