Description 

The BindPlane Gateway destination is an OTLP destination meant to be used for nodes sending to a gateway. When using this destination in conjunction with a Telemetry Pipeline Gateway source from another configuration, telemetry traveling through this destination will not be double counted in the Summary view.

Supported Types
