 The mapping of AnyValue type fields is limited.
 
 `ArrayValue` and `KeyValueList` types are stored serialized with protobuf type. Note that `protobuf` and `bytes` types are only available, unless explicitly type cast. For example, `bytes(${.otel.log.span_id})`. When using template functions, use `--include-bytes`, for example, `$(format-json .otel.* --include-bytes`. In the case of `$(format-json)`, the content is base64-encoded into the bytes content.

+*Description:* If set to yes, the parser extracts the `host.name` attribute if available in the message. Otherwise, it leaves the [HOST](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/attributes-registry/host/) field as-is.
+If you're receiving messages using the [`syslog-ng-otlp()` source]({{< relref "/chapter-sources/source-syslog-ng-otlp/_index.md" >}}), the `opentelemetry()` parser will return the original hostname regardless of the where the message originated (OTLP, syslog, and so on).
