Hi folks, Does Go's auto instrumentation support logging?

No it doesn’t.

it is also not supported by OpenTelemetry itself. Right?

yes

Do you know if they have any plans to add this feature in the future?

logs is yet to be in GA for golang. you can check this board https://github.com/orgs/open-telemetry/projects/43

alright. thanks!

Something more, if you'd want to instrument the logs from go application, make sure to send those application logs to a file instead and use the

filelog/app

receiver.

could you clarify why I should not send the logs directly to the collector through OTLP if I do the manual instrumentaion? @Nitish

generally there is no sdk that lets you send the logs directly through otlp IMO cc: @Chitransh Gupta

I think this is possible. https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/go/instrumentation/#logs-sdk

Thanks for sharing, i think this was added recently.
