Notable changes:

Breaking changes

    instructions. (@thampiotr)

  • otelcol.exporter.prometheus: Set include_scope_info to false by default. You can set
    it to true to preserve previous behavior. (@gouthamve)

  • prometheus.remote_write: Set retry_on_http_429 to true by default in the queue_config block.
    You can set it to false to preserve previous behavior. (@wildum)
