If it's worth linking to the blog post from the docs, I wonder if we shouldn't just incorporate the example into the documentation itself. @open-telemetry/docs-approvers, WDYT?

[cartermp]

Yeah, I would prefer to pull it in if it's still relevant content that's intended to be permanent.

[svrnm]

yes, blog posts become outdated over time and we do not intend to keep them updated. So the portions of the blog post that need to be updated should live in docs.

@zeitlinger, if you agree, I'll create an issue for the transfer of the example in the blog to the docs and we can close this PR. Thanks!

@jack-berg adding a complete example on this page would increase the size too much

do you have an idea where we could add examples like this?

opentelemetry-java-examples? 🤷

Its a bit niche but probably not any more niche than examples we already have in there.

that would be my preferred place as well, we can then either point to it from docs, or code-excerpt some of it eventually into the docs.

I already have an executable, tested example - maybe we can use it as a starting point: https://github.com/grafana/docker-otel-lgtm/tree/main/examples/java/json-logging-otlp

1. Full k8s setup
2. sends data to loki
3. uses OATS for tests - which queries loki

Testing up to the collector would be sufficient - but I don't know which tool does this.

WDYT?

Sure, if you bring that into the opentelemetry-java-examples repo we can link it from there.

TIL about OATS, do you want to add that to the registry? This might also be interesting for open-telemetry/community#2427
