Got your point. We think that there are 3 really good agents out there that can be leveraged by anyone to capture and send telemetry data. These are Vector, fluentbit and Otel-collector. Between these 3 they can handle pretty much anything. If there is something that needs to be handled that these cannot handle then its easy enough to build plugins for fluentbit and otel-collector.

We did not want to reinvent the wheel and recommend that you use one of these.

quickstart tutorial does not reflect what you will do in real life scenario.

You will want to learn how to use log forwarders like fluentbit and vector. These are the ones that you will generally use in real life. These log forwarders read the log files and send them to OpenObserve. Here is a blog on how to use fluentbit to capture kubernetes logs using fluentbit and send them to OpenObserve - https://openobserve.ai/blog/how-to-send-kubernetes-logs-usin...

We will add more tutorials and examples soon.

Hope this helps.
