Fixes two issues in the OpenTelemetry output when sending logs:

  • a chunk ending with a group that had no records yet could drop the records
    buffered before it;
  • with a small batch_size, records could be sent more than once.

Includes integration tests for both cases (tests/integration/scenarios/out_opentelemetry).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved OpenTelemetry log delivery across groups and batches. Records are now flushed even when a chunk ends while another group is open, and records added to that group afterward are also exported.
    • Improved batch handling across multiple groups to ensure records are exported exactly once, reducing the risk of missing or duplicate log records.
  • Tests

    • Added integration coverage for log delivery across open groups and batches of records.

The final export of a chunk only checked the record count of the last
scope, which restarts at zero for every scope. A chunk that ended with a
group start and no records yet, such as a group whose records arrive in a
later append, dropped all its earlier records while the flush reported
success. Count the records pending since the last export instead.

A batch export also released only the records of the current scope, so
records of earlier scopes in the same request were sent again with the
next batch. Release the records of every scope after an export.

📝 Walkthrough

The OpenTelemetry output now tracks pending log records across scopes and flushes them at chunk end when any remain. Integration tests cover records across open groups and batches spanning multiple groups.

Changes: OpenTelemetry log batching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track and release pending records
plugins/out_opentelemetry/opentelemetry_logs.c
The output tracks pending records across scopes. After sending a full batch, it releases the sent log records while retaining scope and resource structures. At chunk end, it flushes when pending records remain.
Test grouped log export and batching
tests/integration/scenarios/out_opentelemetry/config/*, tests/integration/scenarios/out_opentelemetry/tests/test_out_opentelemetry_001.py
Integration tests cover export when a chunk ends with another group open and when records span two groups. The tests check that all expected record IDs are exported exactly once.

Grouped logs can exceed the configured export batch size, and the new test would not catch that regression. Correct the threshold and test assertion before merging.

Assert the record count in each export request.

The fixture sets batch_size: 3, but _exported_record_ids() flattens all requests before the assertion. One request containing all seven records can therefore pass. Assert the expected per-request sizes.

Suggested fix
         service.service.wait_for_condition(
             lambda: len(_exported_record_ids()) >= 7 or None,
             timeout=15, interval=0.5, description="seven exported records")
+        request_sizes = [
+            sum(1 for _ in iter_log_records(
+                json.loads(json_format.MessageToJson(export_request))))
+            for export_request in data_storage["logs"]
+        ]
+        assert sorted(request_sizes) == [1, 3, 3]
         # give a duplicated export time to arrive
         time.sleep(2)

Use the pending count for the batch threshold.

When records move to a new scope, log_record_count resets to zero, but pending_records does not. The condition at Line 1619 still checks log_record_count. With batch_size set to 2 and one record in each of three scopes, no batch export occurs until chunk end. That export sends three records in one request. Use pending_records for the threshold so grouped records respect batch_size.
