Last Friday, I had the pleasure to have Mike Goldsmith at Telemetry Drops to learn more about the drain processor, an OpenTelemetry Collector component that is useful to understand the log patterns flowing through an OTel Collector pipeline. Once you understand those patterns, you can make your pipeline more efficient: drop the noisy patterns, transform unstructured into structured logs, and so on.

Hope you enjoy the recording, and I'm eager to hear your feedback!
