OpenTelemetry Collector in the Rails stack

This page explains what OpenTelemetry Collector means in the Rails stack: how it is included, which base service it uses, and how it connects to the rest of the stack.

OpenTelemetry Collector is available in the Rails stack but starts disabled, so teams can turn it on only when a specific app needs it.
