Docker logs / Kubernetes logs

Question

Is there a simple way to hook collect all logs from docker (or kubernetes) and send to logfire ?

For docker, I guess you'd like to read this: https://docs.docker.com/engine/cli/otel/, and point to https://logfire-api.pydantic.dev.

For K8s, I think this is what makes sense: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/kubernetes/getting-started/#kubernetes-objects-receiver, and you need to set the exporter to https://logfire-api.pydantic.dev.

You can also read Alternative Clients section on our docs.

Should we document this? 🤔

[alexmojaki]

A section in the alternative clients docs sounds sensible to me.

It seems both links I provided need to set up the OpenTelemetry Collector. When @adriangb has time to document a page about the importance, and why to use it, then I think we can add those examples and add a link to that page.
