# Log and Trace Drains

Log and trace drains connect your hosting platform's native telemetry system directly to Sentry, letting you send [logs](https://docs.sentry.io/product/explore/logs.md) and [traces](https://docs.sentry.io/product/explore/trace-explorer.md) without modifying your application code.

**How is this different from OTLP Forwarding?** Log and trace drains use your hosting platform's built-in telemetry export feature—you just configure a destination and the platform handles the rest. [OTLP Forwarding](https://docs.sentry.io/concepts/otlp/forwarding.md) is for when you need to run your own pipeline (like the OpenTelemetry Collector) to collect data from infrastructure sources.

## [Limitations](https://docs.sentry.io/product/drains.md#limitations)

Log and trace drains support logs and traces only:

* **Errors**: To capture errors, add the [Sentry SDK](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms.md) to your application.
* **Metrics**: Not currently supported. If you're interested in this, reach out on [GitHub](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/issues/103486) or email <feedback-metrics@sentry.io>.
