The Webhook Event Receiver is a push based event collector component meant to act as a generally available receiver for any webhook style data source. It is designed to work alongside other pipeline components like the [transform processor](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/processor/transformprocessor) to allow the ingestion of generic events as logs into the opentelemetry collector.
