Ingestors are stored in the /ingestors folder in the Metlo repo. To make a new Ingestor, make a new folder there with the files you need. Your code should then send trace data to Metlo’s backend. Metlo has a single interface to collect trace data, to send a new trace you can send a POST request to Metlo’s backend service:
cURL
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8081/api/v1/log-request/batch' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
--data-raw '<TRACE_DATA>'
The trace data has the following format:
JSON
