Hi, we’re exploring potential possibilities of faro and grafana agent bound together, if they can send both metrics, traces and logs (from Faro instrumented frontend) to OpenTelemetry collector.
We failed multiple tries with either snappy (data compression used by Grafana Agent) being the issue for Otel to receive the metrics or traffic was unencrypted.
This is very initial picture of scenearios we tested:

Can anyone share their experiences how to best configure it so it has no issues?

I’m trying to do similar setup…Do you have any recommendations

Faro receiver only outputs traces and logs. Metrics are stuffed inside logs. So you might need to set up Loki and extract metrics from logs. It would be great to have metrics from faro directly.
