Hmm, my assumption was that ingesting OTLP would be equivalent to running the OTel Collector + remote write, but without the collector in the middle. That implies using the same mappings as specified in the OTel spec / implemented in the collector.
This is something that can happen relatively quickly. On the other hand, there are a *lot* of open questions about extending the metric naming. Aside from working out how to represent this in PromQL without breaking compatibility, we *also* need to think about managing the transition for existing users. That includes users of the OTel collector. I see that adding another place where the translation happens, right in Prometheus, adds to the complexity of that transition, but I don't think it makes it *fundamentally* harder, since we need a solution for the collector-remote write setup anyway. Since "ingesting OTLP into Prometheus" is an existing problem with an existing (albeit suboptimal) solution, I would prefer not to put one tangible improvement on that solution on hold with no timeline for figuring out the other, much more complex one. /MR On Thu, Nov 10, 2022 at 9:19 PM Julien Pivotto <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I have seen the dev summit notes. > > I would like to create a dependency between: > > > Goutham: Reconsider OTLP Ingest > > and > > > Goutham: .
