Serialize Traces/Metrics/Logs

This module exports functions to serialize traces, metrics and logs from the OpenTelemetry SDK into protocol buffers which can be sent over HTTP to the OpenTelemetry collector or a compatible receiver.

import {
  createExportTraceServiceRequest,
  createExportMetricsServiceRequest,
  createExportLogsServiceRequest,
} from '@opentelemetry/otlp-transformer';

const serializedSpans = createExportTraceServiceRequest(readableSpans);
const serializedMetrics = createExportMetricsServiceRequest(readableMetrics);
const serializedLogs = createExportLogsServiceRequest(readableLogRecords);
