Hello @Breee, thanks for filing this issue. Just to confirm, are you seeing the metrics coming through using the debug exporter?

Yes

If I understand correctly, otlp/elastic does not use elasticsearch exporter. This is about sending otlp to Elastic APM server. While I can try to help with this, I don't think the exporter/elasticsearch label is applicable in this case.

@Breee

• How is your Elastic stack set up? Is it a local stack, or a deployment on Elastic Cloud?
• Is the apm-server behind a load balancer?
• Have you tried otlphttp exporter?
• Do you have any logs from apm-server?
• Any logs from your opentelemetry collector?
