Lightning Talk: From Collector To Terminal: A Better Way To See Your OpenTelemetry Logs

name:Jon Reeve
links:none on file
slides:none on file

Gonzo connects an OTLP-capable app directly to a terminal UI so logs stream in with structure, attributes and heatmaps without a Collector or JSON munging; demo fixes two bugs (severity and missing order_id) in about 30 seconds. Works with localhost ports 4317/4318, handles k8s formats and custom JSON, and ships as one binary installable via brew. Includes OTLP-native terminal UI and a GUI variant called Distillate Light.
