February 2026: Delivered the IIS OpenTelemetry Input Package Integration for the elastic/integrations repo, enabling Windows IIS telemetry collection via OpenTelemetry and forward through Elastic Agent to Elasticsearch. The package includes configuration templates, Docker support, and documentation to accelerate adoption and reduce setup friction. Implemented OTLP endpoint TSDS mode handling and dynamic mapping of OTLP metadata into Elastic dimensions and metrics, minimizing manual configuration and improving telemetry fidelity. Aligned with established OTEL input package patterns (e.g., nginx_input_otel) and introduced a fields/ directory for component templates while mitigating conflicts with automatic behavior. This work expands observability coverage for IIS environments, enabling faster time-to-value for customers and strengthening the OTLP-based observability stack.
