Description

Hi,

just came across this library in search how to best integrate logs+traces from a Rust app into axiom. One of the stated limitations in the README is that this library does not support collecting logs outside of spans - presumably because it only supports the otel trace protocol.

Anyways - I'd suggest to have a look at integrating https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/tree/main/opentelemetry-appender-tracing which in my understanding would allow collecting tracing events that are emitted from outside a span.
