Enhancement: Standardize go-kit/log to OpenTelemetry format #40

Closed khushijain21 closed 3 months ago

khushijain21 commented 3 months ago

A standard format for logs as defined by OTel specifications will help end-users unify logging and correlate it with different observability signals.

Proposal1: To Provide a logging bridge between go-kit/log and OpenTelemtry. Draft PR for the same - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/pull/5932

Proposal2: Align existing encoders (logfmt, json) to emit logs in OTel format.

If the community finds this helpful, I can contribute here. Also please do share if there are any better approaches for the same.

Feel free to implement this idea in a separate repo, I'm happy to link to it in the e.g. README
