STEAMPIPE_OTEL_LEVEL

Specify which OpenTelemetry data to send via OTLP. Accepted values are:

Level	Description
ALL	Send Metrics and Traces via OTLP
METRICS	Send Metrics via OTLP
NONE	Do not send OpenTelemetry data (default)
TRACE	Send Traces via OTLP

Steampipe is instrumented with the Open Telemetry SDK which supports the standard SDK environment variables. If OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is not specified, Steampipe will default to localhost:4317.

Currently, Steampipe only supports OTLP/gRPC.
