Describe the issue you're reporting

I've been trying to send logs from my ECS cluster through opentelemetry collector. Some of the characters are not displaying properly in the logs, seems like some encoding issue. Is there any way to fix it?

Hello @psneha716, do you know what encoding the logs files are in?

You can set the expected encoding value using the encoding option in the receiver. The supported encoding list for this receiver can be found here.
