This exporter supports sending OpenTelemetry log data to Mezmo.

Note: Mezmo logs ingestion requires a 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 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.

Configuration options:

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 for more details.
