| When set to `true`, span \(trace\) data is written to OpenSearch immediately as individual spans, without assembling complete traces. This disables the peer forwarder between Data Prepper replicas and sets a flush interval of 1 second on the trace processor. Defaults to `false`. Requires `enabled` to be `true`. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
- Use component agnostic description here (similar to the new note in "Ingest via OpenTelemetry API Endpoint" section)
- Drop "Requires
enabledto betrue"
Add span_passthrough parameter to the ingest_otlp configuration table and sample JSON, and explain its usage and trade-offs (no service map, incomplete traces) in the OpenTelemetry endpoint guide. Signed-off-by: Nicklas Dohrn <nicklas.dohrn@sap.com>
