OpenTelemetry on Logit.io
Standardise telemetry from any source, then ship logs, traces and metrics to Hosted OpenTelemetry: one OTLP/HTTP endpoint per Logs stack, on every plan.
Trusted by engineering teams worldwide
Logit.io’s OpenTelemetry integration gives you a vendor-neutral way to collect, process, and analyse logs, metrics, and traces from your applications and infrastructure.
Hosted OpenTelemetry gives every Logs stack a managed OTLP/HTTP endpoint at https://{stackId}-otel.logit.io (port 443, Basic auth), one URL for logs, traces and metrics. It's included on every plan. New Logs stacks have it on automatically, and for an existing Logs stack, an account owner or administrator, or a stack administrator, selects Switch on in the Hosted OpenTelemetry card on the stack's Endpoints page. Logit.io runs the OpenTelemetry Collector for you, so your apps can send straight from an OpenTelemetry SDK or zero-code agent without running a Collector yourself. If you already run a Collector, use OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib (otelcol-contrib) and point its otlphttp exporter at the same endpoint; there's no Logit agent. Logs go to your Logs stack, traces to your APM stack and metrics to your Metrics stack. Traces or metrics sent without the matching stack are accepted and dropped.
Instrument once with OpenTelemetry, then visualise, correlate, and alert in Logit.io. See also OpenTelemetry as a Service for the broader managed observability story, and the OpenTelemetry Collector docs for configuration detail.

What Is OpenTelemetry?
Industry-Standard Observability Framework: OpenTelemetry (OTel) is a CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) incubating project that provides a comprehensive framework for cloud-native observability. As the emerging industry standard, it offers a vendor-neutral approach to instrumenting, generating, collecting, and exporting telemetry data.
Unified Telemetry Protocol: The OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) creates a standardized format for transmitting telemetry data, establishing a single correlated stream containing resources, traces, metrics, logs, and events. This unified approach eliminates the need for multiple proprietary agents and exporters, simplifying your observability infrastructure.
Extensible Architecture: OpenTelemetry's modular design includes client libraries, collectors, exporters, and processors that work together to provide a complete observability pipeline. Its extensible architecture supports multiple programming languages and integrates with existing monitoring tools and platforms.
Automatic Instrumentation: Beyond manual code instrumentation, OpenTelemetry provides auto-instrumentation capabilities for many popular frameworks and libraries, reducing the development effort required to gain observability into your applications. This approach allows developers to focus on building features while still maintaining comprehensive monitoring coverage.
Hosted OpenTelemetry endpoint
Hosted OpenTelemetry is the managed OTLP path on Logit.io. Every Logs stack gets https://{stackId}-otel.logit.io (HTTPS on port 443, Basic auth). Logit.io runs the OpenTelemetry Collector for you, so your apps can send straight from an OpenTelemetry SDK or zero-code agent without running a Collector yourself. Set SDKs to http/protobuf. If you already run a Collector, use OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib (otelcol-contrib, which includes the Basic auth extension) and point its otlphttp exporter at that URL. gRPC isn't supported.
Logs, traces and metrics share one endpoint. Logs land in your Logs stack, traces in your APM stack and metrics in your Metrics stack. Data for a signal without its stack is accepted and dropped, so add the stack before you depend on that signal. Existing Logs stacks are opt-in: an account owner or administrator, or a stack administrator, selects Switch on in the Hosted OpenTelemetry card on the stack's Endpoints page. Setup takes a few minutes.

Why Use OpenTelemetry With Logit.io?
Complete observability coverage: Correlate logs, metrics, and traces in one platform so you can see the full story behind performance issues and service degradations.
Less instrumentation complexity: Avoid multiple vendor-specific agents. Standardise on OpenTelemetry across your estate, then send OTLP to Hosted OpenTelemetry.
Distributed tracing: Capture latency, dependencies, and error propagation across services when you have an APM stack.
Vendor-neutral path: Keep instrumentation portable with OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib and SDKs — no Logit agent required for the hosted OTLP endpoint.

Logit.io's OpenTelemetry platform
Beyond ingestion, Logit.io provides search, visualization, and alerting on the telemetry you send. Use Hosted OpenTelemetry for OTLP ingestion, then explore data with OpenSearch-backed tools, Grafana for metrics, and managed alerting.
Language SDKs for Java, Python, Go, .NET, Node.js, Ruby, and more work with the same OTLP endpoint. Infrastructure collectors can feed Kubernetes, Docker, cloud, and on-premises systems without a proprietary shipper for this path.
Enterprise Security and Compliance
