Don t have suggestions as of now but from what I understand from the above statements you have already got it working right You just want to know what can be other ways to achieve the same best practices

Ishwor Gurung · Answer

well essentially yes imagine greenfield lambda loggin to its stdout stderr as per usual and now need to land those logs to signoz otel log collector what s the best practices there are tons of good documentation on non lambda in the <http signoz io|signoz io> website but couldn t find much on lambda based deployments slightly smiling face

Srikanth Chekuri · Answer

AWS maintains a lambda extension to make working with opentelemetry easy <https github com open telemetry opentelemetry lambda> I didn t try it myself but I have seen people use it to send traces metrics logs to another vendor You may want to give it a look

Ishwor Gurung · Answer

thanks

Ishwor Gurung · Answer

So a current interim solution that Nitya pointed out a week ago thanks Nitya is to use `filelog` receiver we built custom lambda extension based on `opentelemetry lambda` with `filelog` receiver that receiver then hands off log with traces as zap fields to otlp exporter lambda gt tmp app log gt filelogreceiver gt otlpexporter gt signoz this has worked so far

Ishwor Gurung · Answer

until Go client library+sdk supports logging signal out of the box this interim solution works for us

Ishwor Gurung · Answer

` tmp` is recommended in lambda because AWS says it can scale from 512Mb to 10G

Ishwor Gurung · Answer

enough for us

Interesting thanks for sharing this < Ashu> I think we can create a blog tutorial with inputs from Ishwor on collecting AWS lambda logs
