[announcement] logging exporter has been replaced with debug exporter #11337
Description
On v0.111.0, the logging exporter has been removed in favor of the debug exporter. The logging exporter last version will be v0.110.0 and it will be removed in all officially released distros.
Starting on v0.111.0, you need to replace all your instances of the logging exporter by the debug exporter. For example, if not using any specific settings you can switch as follows:
| Before | After |
receivers:
otlp:
protocols:
grpc:
exporters:
logging:
service:
pipelines:
traces:
receivers: [otlp]
exporters: [logging] |
receivers:
otlp:
protocols:
grpc:
exporters:
debug:
service:
pipelines:
traces:
receivers: [otlp]
exporters: [debug] |
You may also need to update your OpenTelemetry Collector Builder manifest to include the debug exporter instead of the logging exporter when bumping the version of components.
Both exporters support the verbosity option and have the same behavior. The debug exporter does not support the logging exporter's loglevel option. The following table summarizes how to translate from one to the other:
loglevel value |
Equivalent verbosity level |
|---|---|
debug |
detailed |
info |
normal |
warn |
basic |
error |
basic |
dpanic |

panic |

fatal |

The debug exporter is available since v0.86.0 and you can migrate to it before upgrading to v0.111.0. If you find any trouble with the migration, please comment below!
