Congrats on the launch, this looks very promising. I hadn't seen any installation that uses a URL to point to a skill, seems like an evolution of wizard scripts

That been said for more complex setups like on kubernetes where you need a collector and an operator I found OTEL to be super painful to setup a couple of years ago. Has it gotten any easier now?

Thank you! Glad you liked the install process :)

I'm afraid a collector and the operator are still the recommended way to go by OpenTelemetry (https://opentelemetry.io/docs/platforms/kubernetes/getting-s...). We're still working on a custom skill for Kubernetes, but the general skill should give you a sane default already.

A good way to start can be to start sending traces/logs directly by instrumenting the service and putting our backend as the collector.

I also help out personally whenever our clients have any questions on setting up the telemetry :)
