# Ingesting Infrastructure and Database Logs into Bronto

> An overview of the self-hosted infrastructure and database integrations that send logs and traces to Bronto with the OpenTelemetry Collector.

## Overview

These integrations collect logs — and, for some sources, request traces — from self-hosted infrastructure and databases and send them to Bronto with the [OpenTelemetry Collector](/agent-setup/open-telemetry). Each page covers where the source writes its logs, the receiver configuration to collect them, and the Bronto exporter setup.

<Note>
  These pages cover infrastructure and middleware you run yourself. To collect logs and traces from your own **application code**, instrument it with the [OpenTelemetry SDK](/opentelemetry/overview). For **managed cloud services**, see the [AWS](./aws-overview) and [Azure](./azure-overview) ingestion overviews.

## Supported sources

Each source below links to a per-integration page with the exact receiver configuration and where that technology writes its logs. All of them are collected with the OpenTelemetry Collector.

## Ingestion method

Every source in this section is collected with the [OpenTelemetry Collector](/agent-setup/open-telemetry), which tails the source's log files (or reads its container output) and forwards logs and traces to Bronto over OTLP/HTTP. The Collector forwards only what it receives, so each integration page shows the receiver you add to pick up that source. See [Getting your data into the Collector](/agent-setup/open-telemetry#getting-your-data-into-the-collector) for how application, infrastructure, and platform log sources fit together.

For Windows hosts, see [Collecting Windows OS Logs](./azure-windows-logs) for Windows Event Log and IIS collection.
