Overview
Bronto supports several methods for ingesting data from AWS environments. The right choice depends on where your logs originate, whether you need trace data, your infrastructure preferences, and cost constraints. Before choosing a method, familiarise yourself with Bronto’s two endpoint types — the base endpoint accepts any format while the OTLP endpoints require protobuf via an agent. See Ingestion Endpoints for the full reference.Ingestion Methods
