Description

The page https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/#elastic-support-for-edot-sdks states:

EDOT SDKs are meant to be used in combination with the EDOT Collector or the Elastic Cloud Managed OTLP Endpoint to ingest data into Elastic solutions from the EDOT SDKs. Other ingestion paths are not officially supported by Elastic.

The page https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/observability/apm/use-opentelemetry-with-apm#apm-otel-elastic-distros shows a diagram where EDOT SDKs send data to APM Integration:

We might want to update the image(?).

Afaik, we only support/test EDOT SDKs with EDOT Collector (or EDOT Gateway / Managed OTel Intake).

Still, users will find odd to be able to use OTel upstream with APM Server/Integration or Managed Ingest Service (which we have GA since 7.13+).
