this might help

ooook. so filelog receiver is already a part of the otel collector?

ok, that looks like it might help me a ton. thanks <@U061GDXRBC2>

i actually looked at that initially but it and the diagrams i'd seen made it appear that the collector and receiver were separate components.

yyeahh <@U06M4945QTG> been using the filelog receiver from my node apps for quite sometime, its bundled with the main collector (even if you use the otel-contrib collector) so works flawlessly across the board

do we know if the `volumes` block supports globstar paths for ingesting logs?

same for the `receivers` block when specifying the specific logs to ingest for filelog

basically i have a parent folder with multiple subfolders containing logs. can i just do `/path/to/parent/**/*.log`?

<@U06M4945QTG> yeah wildcards work in the receiver

In our case we export all logs to a shared volume called /logs as different file names

thanks. do you know how it can handle wildcard folders and files? ideally a globstar `**/*` format to grab all the app parent and then different subfolders, where the logs will be

actually yeah, globstar seems to have worked.
