exporting logs is not working

[fhuthmacher]

I am trying to get to work traces, metrics and logs via AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Collector (ADOT Collector), using the following Lambda Layer: arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:901920570463:layer:aws-otel-python-amd64-ver-1-20-0:3 and Python 3.8.

My understanding is that this version includes OpenTelemetry Python v1.20.0 and ADOT Collector v0.35.0 and should support, trace, metrics and logs as experimental.
The issue seems to be that no matter how I configure otlphttp, the collector does not seem to export logs at all.

Steps to reproduce:

1. create Python 3.8 Lambda
2. Add Layer arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:901920570463:layer:aws-otel-python-amd64-ver-1-20-0:3
   create collector.yml file with below content in root dir:

extensions:
  sigv4auth:
    region: "us-east-1"
    service: "osis"

receivers:
  otlp:
    protocols:
      http:
        endpoint:

exporters:
  logging:
    loglevel: debug
  otlphttp:
    traces_endpoint: "https://XXXX/v1/traces"
    metrics_endpoint: "https://YYYY/v1/metrics"
    logs_endpoint: "https:///ZZZZ/v1/logs"
    auth:
      authenticator: sigv4auth
    compression: none
    
service:
  extensions: [sigv4auth]
  pipelines:
    traces:
      receivers: [otlp]
      exporters: [otlphttp,logging]

    metrics:
      receivers: [otlp]
      exporters: [otlphttp,logging]
    
    logs:
      receivers: [otlp]
      exporters: [otlphttp,logging]
      
  telemetry:
    metrics:
      address: localhost:8888

3. Set two environment variables:
   AWS_LAMBDA_EXEC_WRAPPER = /opt/otel-instrument
   OPENTELEMETRY_COLLECTOR_CONFIG_FILE = /var/task/collector.yml

4. Update lambda_function.py with below code:

import json
import boto3
from opentelemetry import metrics
from opentelemetry import trace
import logging

tracer = trace.get_tracer("appl.tracer")

meter = metrics.get_meter("appl.meter")

dir_counter = meter.create_counter(
    "dir.calls",
    description="The number of directory calls",
)

@tracer.start_as_current_span("do_work")
def lambda_handler(event, context):

    logging.getLogger().error("This is a log message")    

    # This adds 1 to the counter
    result = '0'
    dir_counter.add(1, {"dir.value": result})
        
    client = boto3.client("s3")
    client.list_buckets()
    
    client = boto3.client("ec2")
    list = client.describe_instances()
    
    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'body': json.dumps('Hello from Lambda!')
    }

What is the expected behavior?
I would expect to see a similar output in logging for "logs" to what I get for traces and metrics.

What is the actual behavior?
I don't see any log output, only traces and metrics, see below example.

Hi @fhuthmacher, were you able to figure out a solution for this? I am facing the same issue. In my case, I am trying to use oltphttp exporter to send logs to Grafana Cloud in an AWS Lambda.

Are logs supported in the collector at all??

Hi @fhuthmacher, Auto instrumentation of the logs are not enabled by default as far as I know. So I think, you should enable it explicitly by setting OTEL_PYTHON_LOGGING_AUTO_INSTRUMENTATION_ENABLED env var to true: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/zero-code/python/configuration/#logging

Hi everyone,

I have the same problem with the ADOT layer aws-otel-python-amd64-ver-1-25-0:1.
Do you have any solution to solve this problem ? I need to send my lambda logs to the graphana loki service with the otlp protocol.

Thanks for your help
