Cloud Monitoring's Ops Agent, beginning with version 2.71.0, now includes a configuration option to export metrics, logs, and traces via the OpenTelemetry-based Telemetry API. This enhancement provides an alternative to using the separate Cloud Monitoring, Logging, or Trace APIs. It benefits users who leverage OpenTelemetry standards by offering a unified approach to telemetry data export.
