OpenTelemetry Gateways: Enforce, Transform, Route
summary
Centralized OpenTelemetry collector gateways validate, transform, and route telemetry so enforcement happens once instead of across thousands of agents. Examples include 10,000 edge collectors forwarding to CFKA topics, OTTL rules that block missing mandatory attributes like service.name/service.namespace/deployment.environment, pattern redaction and delete key PII removal, and routing that reduces high‑cardinality metrics from 304,000 → 7,000 (97.5%). Demo configs and GitHub examples show rule snippets, routing conditions, and performance tradeoffs.
