This article explains how to configure Octopus to send audit logs to an Elastic stack using OpenTelemetry and the EDOT Collector. It provides step-by-step instructions for setting up the necessary components, including Docker containers and configuration files. The goal is to enhance monitoring and auditing capabilities for Octopus deployments.

OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework designed to provide a standardized way to collect, process, and export telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs. It aims to help developers and organizations gain insights into their systems' performance and behavior, facilitating better monitoring and troubleshooting. By integrating with various backend systems, OpenTelemetry enhances observability across diverse environments and applications.
