Documentation for shipping server logs/metrics via alloy

[josegonzalez]

Once this is setup, there is an OTLP endpoint for collecting logs/metrics. That said, there isn't really an end-to-end setup for how to configure this with Alloy. Would it be possible for someone to write a short tutorial on how to do that?

Hey there @josegonzalez, thanks for reaching out! 👋

We have a similar tutorial here: https://grafana.com/docs/alloy/latest/collect/opentelemetry-to-lgtm-stack/

Could you take a look and see if it answers your question?

[josegonzalez]

Somewhat? It's not super clear how to grab the actual log data (or even stuff like server metrics) to ship over, or if alloy is even the correct way.

I only point at Alloy as the grafana agent is deprecated in favor of it.
