otel-ottl
OpenTelemetry Transformation Language (OTTL) expert. Use when writing or debugging OTTL expressions for any OpenTelemetry Collector component that supports OTTL (processors, connectors, receivers, exporters). Triggers on tasks involving telemetry transformation, filtering, attribute manipulation, data redaction, sampling policies, routing, or Collector configuration. Covers syntax, contexts, functions, error handling, and performance.

# OpenTelemetry Transformation Language (OTTL)
## Components that use OTTL
OTTL is not limited to the transform and filter processors.
Processors (transform, filter, tailsampling, logdedup) and connectors (routing, count, sum, signaltometrics) accept OTTL expressions.
See [components](./rules/components.md) for the full list with use cases.
## OTTL syntax
### Path expressions
Navigate telemetry data using dot notation:
