Hello Michael,
You may have previously received a notification regarding this update. If so, please disregard this message.
We're writing to let you know that Cloud Observability has launched a new
OpenTelemetry (OTel) ingestion API that supports native OpenTelemetry
Protocol (OTLP) logs, trace spans, and metrics.
Starting March 23, 2026, this API will be added as a dependency for the current
Cloud Logging, Cloud Trace, and Cloud Monitoring ingestion APIs. This change
ensures a seamless transition as collection tools migrate to this new unified
endpoint.
What you need to know
Key changes:
- The existing Cloud Observability ingestion APIs
(logging.googleapis.com, cloudtrace.googleapis. com, and
monitoring.googleapis. com) are automatically activated when you
create a Google Cloud project using the Google Cloud console or gc loud
CLI. The behavior remains unchanged for projects created via API, which do
not have these ingestion APIs enabled by default. Starting March 23, 2026,
the new OTel ingestion endpoint telemetry.googleapis.com will
automatically activate when any of these specified APIs are enabled.
- In addition, we will automatically enable this new endpoint for all existing
projects that already have current ingestion APIs active.

O.K. #Google !
Dear #Privacy watchers:
I don't understand all of this & I avoid Google products if I can - since their genocide of the beloved #GooglePlus community, & repeal of #DontBeEvil.
BUT, as student of #media & #words... Is this not ominous?
