Custom

Description

This Custom source can be used to directly configure an OpenTelemetry Receiver. The Custom source is useful for testing new receivers or for fulfilling a use case that is not supported by Telemetry Pipeline natively.

The Custom Source can only be used with components that are present in the Telemetry Pipeline Agent. See the Included Components documentation for a list of supported components.
