Integration between Confluent and Splunk

[danielbb]

We were told the following - Confluent Vendor has provided the Telemetry URL to configure in the Splunk's Open Telemetry collector to push the metrics from Confluent to Splunk. 

Is this the right Integration between Confluent and Splunk, meaning via the Open Telemetry Collector (OTEL)?

There seems to be couple of different way to do this e.g.
- https://splunk-guide-for-kafka-monitoring.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
- https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/devops/monitoring-kafka-performance-metrics-with-splunk-infrastruc...
- https://www.confluent.io/blog/bring-your-own-monitoring-with-confluent-cloud/
That last one seems to use otel, but I haven’t try it yet.
