Added OpenTelemetry REST endpoint for external systems to store logs in Salesforce
Resolved #635 by adding a new LoggerRestResource Apex class that can be called by external systems to store external logging data in Salesforce, using OpenTelemetry's logs data model.
For now, this only includes the ability to store logging data, and only a handful of attributes are supported. Future releases will include:
- Support for populating more attributes, which will then be stored in mapped fields in
Log__candLogEntry__c - Support for more HTTP verbs & endpoints: I started working on adding other endpoints, like a
GETendpoint that could be used to also retrieve logging data from Salesforce in OpenTelemetry (OTel) format, but the complexity was growing with that effort, so I'll revisit it in a separate PR/release
