Functionality

The OTLP JSON File Receiver will read pipeline data from JSON files. The data is written in Protobuf JSON encoding using OpenTelemetry protocol.

The receiver will watch the directory and read files. If a file is updated or added, the receiver will read it in its entirety again.

The data is serialized according to the OpenTelemetry Protocol File Exporter.

Scope

Tech preview with tests and documentation. Note that some parts are alpha, so we might need to mention that some parts may change without much time to adapt.
