 - OTLP Traces: Utilizes [OTLP Receiver]( https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/main/receiver/otlpreceiver#readme) which configures both HTTP and GRPC endpoints on the node to receive OTLP trace data.

+#### Cluster
 
 The OpenTelemetry components deployed within a Deployment collector focus on gathering data at the cluster level rather than at individual nodes.  A Deployment instance of the collector operates as a standalone (unlike DaemonSet collector instances, which are deployed on every node)

+The Cluster Deployment collector handles the following data:
 
 - Kubernetes Events: Monitors and collects events occurring across the entire Kubernetes cluster, utilizing [Kubernetes Objects Receiver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/k8sobjectsreceiver#readme).
 - Cluster Metrics: Captures metrics that provide insights into the overall health and performance of the Kubernetes cluster, utilizing [Kubernetes Cluster Receiver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/receiver/k8sclusterreceiver#readme).
 
+#### Gateway
+
+The OpenTelemetry components deployed within the `Gateway` Deployment collectors focus on processing and exporting OTLP data to Elasticsearch. Processing components:
+
+- [Elastic Trace processor](https://github.com/elastic/opentelemetry-collector-components/tree/main/processor/elastictraceprocessor): The processor enriches traces with elastic specific requirements. It uses opentelemetry-lib to perform the actual enrichments.
+- [Elastic Infra Metrics processor](https://github.com/elastic/opentelemetry-collector-components/tree/main/processor/elasticinframetricsprocessor): The Elastic Infra Metrics Processor is used to bridge the gap between OTEL and Elastic Infra Metrics.
+- [LSM interval processor](https://github.com/elastic/opentelemetry-collector-components/tree/main/processor/lsmintervalprocessor): [Interval processor](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/processor/intervalprocessor) with db-backed persistence.
+- [Signal to Metrics connector](https://github.com/elastic/opentelemetry-collector-components/tree/main/connector/signaltometricsconnector): Produces metrics from all signal types (traces, logs, or metrics).

 ### Auto-instrumentation
 
 The Helm Chart is configured to enable zero-code instrumentation using the [Operator's Instrumentation resource](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-operator/?tab=readme-ov-file#opentelemetry-auto-instrumentation-injection) for the following programming languages:
