I’m wondering if there are any updates or plans to support collecting/exporting OTEL traces in Forge functions. As long as I have to treat Forge functions as a black box, I hesitate to deploy code.
Some workarounds we explored:
- host your own OTEL collector and send OTEL data directly there (the biggest challenge we found is securing the Connection from Forge to the collector)
- log traces to the console
It would be nice if Forge functions had a locally running collector sidecar, and apps could simply export telemetry via the standard OTEL ports (localhost:4317 for gRPC or localhost:4318 for HTTP).
