How can I send my Flint 3’s logs and metrics to an OpenTelemetry collector?

Hi,
For system logs, Flint 3 can forward them to a remote OpenTelemetry Collector through Syslog.
Please go to LuCI → System → System → Logging, then configure the following options according to your OpenTelemetry Collector settings:
The OpenTelemetry Collector also have the Syslog Receiver enabled and listening on the same port and protocol. You may refer to the Syslog Receiver documentation here:
For other metrics, the corresponding prometheus-node-exporter packages need to be installed on the router.
You can check the available packages through SSH with the following commands:
opkg update
opkg list | grep prometheus-node-exporter
Please install the base exporter package and any additional collector packages required for the metrics you would like to monitor.
After the exporter provides a Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint, the OpenTelemetry Collector can collect the metrics through its Prometheus Receiver.
You can refer to the following Prometheus Receiver documentation:
