Thanks! I'll start to take a look. I believe the original issue raiser @rlankfo is OOO this week, and I'm interested in getting their feedback as well, but I'll mark myself as a sponsor.

I'm happy to review initially here, but forgot to mention - the preferred way to contribute a new component is in parts. First up is a wireframe of the receiver, similar to this active PR.

See docs in the CONTRIBUTING guide for details of what each PR should include.

Are both of these absolutely required? Or could a user find value in just logs or just traces and not want them both to be consumed?

[dark0dave]

So my thinking is as follows, the faro sdk users can send traces/logs, ideally the collector should be setup to receive both, without requiring separate setup. But if you disagree happy to alter.

How would you like me to proceed? Should I add the wireframe in a separate pr or continue here?

Thank you for your guidance!

Yes, you'll have to do the separate PRs, starting with the wireframe. I wanted to get the review on this PR since you had the whole picture here already, but it's the accepted process for new components.
