Overview

Deprecation Notice: The component type has been renamed from otlpjson to otlp_json to follow the OpenTelemetry snake_case naming convention. The old name otlpjson still works but is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please update your configuration to use otlp_json.

Allows to extract otlpjson data from incoming Logs and specifically the Body field. The data is written in Protobuf JSON encoding using OpenTelemetry protocol.
