[Request] Document beta support for OpenTelemetry Logs

[cyrille-leclerc]

Description

We are doing in 8.0 the quiet launch of the beta support of OpenTelemetry Logs.
For the record, we already support OpenTelemetry Traces and Metrics.

We thought of adding a section "Logs Support (beta)" in https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/guide/current/open-telemetry.html

Suggested Target Release

Target is 8.0.

Otel Logs beta support is a quiet launch so we have more flexibility to publish the updated documentation.

@cyrille-leclerc is working on a blog post for this for the 8.1 launch. @bmorelli25 the idea is to have the docs ready until then and also backport them to the 8.0 docs. Does that sound feasible?

[bmorelli25]

@cyrille-leclerc ping me when the blog post is ready and I'll turn it into documentation.

[cyrille-leclerc]

Hello @bmorelli25 , no ETA yet.

[simitt]

@cyrille-leclerc should this be planned for the 8.2 release time frame or be moved to 8.3 docs?

[simitt]

@cyrille-leclerc do you have any update on this?

[cyrille-leclerc]

As the OpenTelemetry Logs data model and the OpenTelemetry Logs protocol are marked as "stable", I proposed to mark our support of OTLP logs as GA.
Does it make sense @simitt , @alex-fedotyev , @axw ?

[axw]

That's fine by me.

[alex-fedotyev]

SGTM.
Is this mainly change in docs? Is there anything in the product?

[bmorelli25]

Thanks. I'll remove the beta label from the docs.
