[FEATURE REQ] Add AddAzureMonitorLogExporter extension method on LoggerProviderBuilder

[joegoldman2]

Library name

Azure.Monitor.OpenTelemetry.Exporter

Please describe the feature.

Summary

Following open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet#5648, I think Azure.Monitor.OpenTelemetry.Exporter should provide a new extension method to configure the Azure Monitor log exporter on LoggerProviderBuilder (in the same way that AddAzureMonitorTraceExporter exists on TracerProviderBuilder and AddAzureMonitorMetricExporter exists for MeterProviderBuilder).

API Proposal

namespace Azure.Monitor.OpenTelemetry.Exporter
{
    public static class AzureMonitorExporterExtensions
    {
+        public static LoggerProviderBuilder AddAzureMonitorLogExporter(
+            this LoggerProviderBuilder builder,
+            Action<AzureMonitorExporterOptions> configure = null,
+            TokenCredential credential = null)
    }
}

In a second phase, once this new API is available, perhaps OpenTelemetryLoggerOptions.AddAzureMonitorLogExporter should be deprecated.

Thanks for the reminder! This is already on our radar. We're waiting for the OTel 1.9.0 release which should be by the end of this week.
Assuming schedules line up, this should make it into our July beta release. :)
