Splunk OpenTelemetry Connector is a distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector. It provides a unified way to receive, process, and export metric, trace, and log data for Splunk Observability Cloud:

• Splunk APM via the sapm exporter. The otlphttp exporter can be used with a custom configuration. More information available here.
• Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring via the signalfx exporter. More information available here.
• Splunk Log Observer via the splunk_hec exporter.

While it is recommended to use Splunk Forwarders to send data to Splunk Cloud or Splunk Enterprise, Splunk OpenTelemetry Connector can be configured to send data to them via the splunk_hec exporter.
