The AWS ELB Logs OpenTelemetry Assets integration v0.3.0 is in technical preview

To use pre-release integrations, go to the Integrations page in Kibana, scroll down, and toggle on the Display beta integrations option.

This package contains Kibana assets for monitoring AWS ELB load balancers. We support access logs collected from Application Load Balancers (ALBs), Network Load Balancers (NLBs) and Classic Load Balancers.

ECF is the simplest way to configure AWS ELB log collection. Refer to the ECF for AWS documentation for full setup instructions.

Any OTel-supported collection method is supported provided the required extension is included.

This package has been tested with OpenTelemetry Collector version 0.138.0. The OpenTelemetry components used are awss3receiver, awslogsencodingextension, and elasticsearchexporter.
