title: How to use the forward output
body: <p>I am working on sending logs from Fluentbit to OpenTelemetry. Opentelemetry has a receiver which accept data honoring the forward protocol and i need a output in fluentbit to send data in the forward protocol format. I glance through the entire list and found the forward output but it seems to be used to connect fluentbit with fluentD from the description: <a href="https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/outputs/forward" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/outputs/forward</a></p>
  <p>Is it possible to use/modify the output forward to support my use case? or i should write my own fluentbit output to transform logs to a format which honor the forward protocol, then send the transformed data over grpc/http to opentelemetry? any suggestion is appreciated</p>
