# Send Logs from OpenTelemetry SDKs

> Configure an OpenTelemetry SDK to produce structured logs directly from your application and send them to Honeycomb, correlated with your existing traces.

This guide details how to send OpenTelemetry Logs from OpenTelemetry SDKs to Honeycomb.

## What are OpenTelemetry Logs?

OpenTelemetry Logs are **structured logs** that wrap the bodies of existing logs and optionally correlate them with traces.
For example, structured application logs from a logging framework in your application will be automatically correlated with any tracing you also add to that application.
OpenTelemetry Logs also enable you to centrally process logs data along with traces and metrics within the OpenTelemetry Collector.

## Send Logs from Your Application to Honeycomb

You can send your structured application logs via OpenTelemetry to an endpoint, such as Honeycomb's endpoint or the OpenTelemetry Collector.
This option is especially useful if structured logging exists in your application, since it allows for automatic correlation of structured logs with traces later.

When you use an OpenTelemetry SDK to create OpenTelemetry Logs, you send to Honeycomb directly or an OpenTelemetry Collector configured to export to Honeycomb.

<Note>
  OpenTelemetry Logs are not supported in all languages yet.
  Refer to the [OpenTelemetry availability status for each language](https://opentelemetry.io/status/).
