How to monitor open telemetry collector

[owensulei3841]

Hi All,

Right now I am using opentelemetry collector receivers to gather logs and metrics in kubernete container. Can I ask what's the proper way to monitor collector health?

For example, I use "filelog receiver" to process logs, extract key value pair and timestamp then send to third party monitor platforms.
If there is log format mismatch, I know the error can be export to local file using "filelog receiver". But is there a way we can export those data to third party monitor platform also?
