OpenTelemetry filelog receiver + OpenObserve: Any logs to any destination!

Wow Greate Video!, but you didn't mention how you jave installed the OpenTelemtry Collector, did you ran it on a Container?

At 03:47 you can see I've download the otelcol-contrib collector (the OpenTelemetry contrib distribution) and am running it as a standalone binary. There are many ways to run the collector so I didn't want to go into each one. You're right though, for future videos I'll call this out more clearly.
