OpenTelemetry

About OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry (also referred to as OTel) is an open-source project to provide observability to software. The project initially emerged as a tracing instrumentation project but merged and evolved to incorporate metrics and logs within the platform. As a result of this, while tracing support is well established for most languages, metric and log support are limited both in comparison to traces and to the capabilities of other tools.
