## Supported Telemetry

![Logs](https://img.shields.io/badge/logs-beta-blue)

## Overview

This exporter supports sending OpenTelemetry log data to
[Mezmo](https://mezmo.com).

Note: Mezmo logs ingestion [requires a `hostname`](https://docs.mezmo.com/docs/log-parsing#hostname)
field to be present. When logs are sent via this exporter, and `hostname`
metadata is not added, the Mezmo ingestion API will set `hostname=otel`. To
provide the `hostname` information, we recommend adding a
[Resource Detection Processor](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/processor/resourcedetectionprocessor)
to the collector configuration. Doing so will cause this exporter to
automatically add the `hostname` metadata to the outgoing log data whenever
it is available. See the below example configuration for a basic configuration
that adds `hostname` detection support.

* `ingest_url` (optional): Specifies the URL to send ingested logs to.  If not
  specified, will default to `https://logs.mezmo.com/otel/ingest/rest`.
* `ingest_key` (required): Ingestion key used to send log data to Mezmo.  See
  [Ingestion Keys](https://docs.mezmo.com/docs/ingestion-key) for more details.
