Hi, I have just started exploring SigNoz, need one help. How do I collect logs from std out and send to SigNoz for spring boot application?

Hi <@U05FG8RAB7A> :wave:

You could refer to these exampels:
• <https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-examples/tree/main/logging>
• <https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-examples/tree/main/log-appender>
• <https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-examples/tree/main/javaagent>

However, it would be a lot easier to collect logs using filelog receiver.

That can be easily done in K8s using K8s-Infra: <https://signoz.io/docs/tutorial/kubernetes-infra-metrics/>

In case of other platforms, you could use otelcol binary or docker with filelog receiver.

Thanks <@U02SS3ZAMKQ>  for so many options. I tried the otel java agent and used the env variable OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER=otlp and now I can see the logs in the UI.
