What does this PR do?
It ensures otel collector component status reported to Fleet has the right component type sets for receivers and exporters. Respectively, we have
exporter -> outputandreceiver -> input.It also does some internal refactoring. The Fleet status translation code was using its own
otelhelperspackage. I moved the contents of that package tootel/translateand made all the status translation code use it, unifying the logic between Fleet status and local status. This improves some of the error messages for local status as a side effect.I've also added unit tests for the Fleet status translation.
Why is it important?
Fleet knows about
inputandoutputcomponent types, so it can now display status for native otel integrations.Checklist
[ ] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation[ ] I have made corresponding change to the default configuration files./changelog/fragmentsusing the changelog tool[ ] I have added an integration test or an E2E testHow to test this PR locally
This is slightly involved, as we don't have any native Otel integrations with actual otel collector configurations.
elastic-package build --zipto generate the integration archive.You should see the integration show up in the UI:

You can also look at the agent document to see the types set in the status.
