First pass. How would you see moving this content inside https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/observability/apm/data-streams ?
I thought about it, but since this is specific to OTel, I wasn't sure if that was the appropriate place. |

Let's keep it separate for now then. Thanks Erik! |

| To automatically route OTLP data, set the `data_stream.dataset` and `data_stream.namespace` attributes. These attributes map to the respective [ECS fields](ecs://reference/ecs-data_stream.md). | ||
|
|

| You can set the `data_stream` attributes at resource level, scope level, span level, or span event level. Elastic parses the attributes in increasing order of precedence. For example, span event `data_stream` attributes override the span `data_stream` attributes. This implies that `data_stream` attributes are inherited from previous levels. If a span doesn't specify `data_stream` attributes, it uses the scope attributes. |

resource level, scope level, span level, or span event level
Not entirely accurate. It works at resource level, scope level, and record level (span, span event, log record, data point)
