summary
Demonstrates the OTTL Playground (https://ottl.run), a browser tool that runs the exact OTTL runtime via web assembly so statements behave like a live collector. Provides live GIF diffs, a JSON patch view and execution logs for transform and filter processors; concrete examples parse JSON log bodies, set severity and timestamp, and drop debug traces. Outputs a shareable uni link, plans routing connector and tail sampling support, and is open source for contributions.
