> OpenTelemetry Collector receiver · contrib distribution

The Loki receiver implements the [Loki push api](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/clients/promtail/#loki-push-api) as specified in [Loki HTTP API: Ingest logs](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/reference/loki-http-api/#ingest-logs). It allows Promtail instances to specify the open telemetry collector as their lokiAddress. This receiver runs HTTP and GRPC servers to ingest log entries in Loki format.
