My issue:
I have latest ngf installed on my k8s cluster and I use this configuration to enable OTLP logging

nginx:
  replicas: 3
  pod:
    topologySpreadConstraints:
    - topologyKey: "kubernetes.io/hostname"
      whenUnsatisfiable: "ScheduleAnyway"
      maxSkew: 1
  config:
    logging:
      errorLevel: info
      agentLevel: info
    telemetry:
      exporter:
        endpoint: http://grafana-k8s-monitoring-alloy-receiver.grafana.svc.cluster.local:4317
      serviceName: "nginx-service"
      spanAttributes:
      - key: team
        value: my_tema
      - key: deployment_environment
        value: dev

Configuration deployment works fine, but the logs is never sent to grafana.

In my cluster I have only grafana OTLP collector. Loki is not installed

How I encountered the problem:
I cannot find any logs inside my grafana logs.
Cloud I have a configuration problems?

Version of NGF and/or NGINX:
2.6.2

Deployment environment:
env

Do you have an ObservabilityPolicy created in your cluster targeting your HTTPRoutes?

The telemetry config in your Helm values only sets up the exporter endpoint, it doesn’t actually enable trace generation. Spans are only emitted when an ObservabilityPolicy is attached to a specific HTTPRoute or GRPCRoute.

You can check with:

kubectl get observabilitypolicies.gateway.nginx.org -A

Hopefully, these monitoring guides can help too.
