Thu, 16 Mar 2023 11:59:16 UTCWell logging is quite new in Opentelemetry?
Harald
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 12:00:04 UTCWe have teams that write several 100 mio log lines a day into DDog. Probably that is not the best way of investing money :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 12:00:46 UTC99.9999% of these logs are never read but indexed :man-shrugging: - I think that's our contribution to global warming.
