# OpenTelemetry Destination

> Open Telemetry Destination configuration

## Description

You can send your logs, metrics and traces to any destination that accepts data using the OpenTelemetry protocol, for example Grafana, TelemetryHub, or New Relic.

## Configuration

You can configure the Destination using these options.

### Configuration Options

| Option | Description |
| - | - |
| Collector Endpoint | The OpenTelemetry Collector URL that receives the data. Only http protocol is supported. No paths `/v1/logs` `/v1/metrics` `/v1/traces` needed, they will be added automatically based on a data type detected by the Destination. |
| End-to-end acknowledgement | Enable this option to receive verification that OpenTelemetry data is being received by OTLP collector. |
| Strategy | The authentication strategy to use. |
| HTTP Headers | Additional headers to be sent with a request. The most common case is to set a secret key to authorize a request.\n\n**Note**: Authorization header is prohibited in case if some strategy has been already set up. |
| Compression | Compression option: `none` or `gzip` to reduce network traffic |
