This component is not a wrapper of similarly named OpenTelemetry collector so I think we'll need to rewire the system to have it worked. Still, I think the conversion is possible but would be pretty awkward and prone to tech debts in the future.

Wdyt?

I think for now we can close this as a won't-do (yet). I agree best-effort conversion is possible (similarly to what grafana/agent#6505 does for the lokiexporter), and so we might be interested in doing this in the future, but most of the work we're been doing for grafana/agent#6419 have been for components where 1:1 conversions exist.

Given the above, I'll close this for now and we can revisit later.

I'm not sure why we chose to close this one out? The upstream component sounds like it has a counterpart in loki.source.api. Am I missing something? cc @rfratto

I think I understood what the counterpart to this component was; I was thinking this was similar to prometheusreceiver where we didn't have a direct equivalent. Given that, it does make sense to open this one back up. Sorry for the confusion here.
