syslog logs to traces

[TopazAvraham]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up the OpenTelemetry Collector to receive syslog logs, transform them into traces, and then export them as traces to Jaeger

I've tried diffferent proccessors, connectors etc. but I didn't find anything that helps.

this is my reciever:

`receivers:
otlp:
protocols:
grpc: # Enable gRPC on port 4317
http: # Enable HTTP on port 4318
endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4318
syslog:
tcp:
listen_address: 0.0.0.0:54526
protocol: rfc5424

I get the syslogs on the logs pipline (because syslog reciever is not supported in the traces pipline)
then I'm adding some trace info (trace id, span id, etc) from the transform proccessor,
and then I want to export it via the traces pipline to Jaeger.

I tried using connectors but this is what I get:
conf:
receivers:
otlp:
protocols:
grpc: # Enable gRPC on port 4317
http: # Enable HTTP on port 4318
endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4318
syslog:
tcp:
listen_address: 0.0.0.0:54526
protocol: rfc5424

processors:
transform:
log_statements:
- context: log
statements:
- 'set(attributes["trace_id"], "1234567890abcdef")'
- 'set(attributes["span_id"], "abcdef1234567890")'
- 'set(attributes["service.name"], "syslog_service")'

connectors:
routing:
default_pipelines: [traces]
error_mode: ignore
match_once: false
table:
- statement: route() where attributes["X-Tenant"] == "acme"
pipelines: [traces]

exporters:
debug:
otlp:
endpoint: jaeger:4317
tls:
insecure: true

service:
pipelines:
logs:
receivers: [syslog]
processors: [transform]
exporters: [routing]
traces:
receivers: [routing]
exporters: [debug, otlp]

and the error:
Error: failed to build pipelines: connector "routing" used as exporter in logs pipeline but not used in any supported receiver pipeline
