Status: Stable, except where otherwise specified Tracer Provider Tracer Creation It SHOULD only be possible to create Tracer instances through a TracerProvider (see API). The TracerProvider MUST implement the Get a Tracer API. The input provided by the user MUST be used to create an InstrumentationScope instance which is stored on the created Tracer. Status: Development - The TracerProvider MUST compute the relevant TracerConfig using the configured TracerConfigurator, and create a Tracer who...| OpenTelemetry
Status: Stable, except where otherwise specified Overview The Metrics API consists of these main components: MeterProvider is the entry point of the API. It provides access to Meters. Meter is responsible for creating Instruments. Instrument is responsible for reporting Measurements. Here is an example of the object hierarchy inside a process instrumented with the metrics API: +-- MeterProvider(default) | +-- Meter(name='io.opentelemetry.runtime', version='1.0.0') | | | +-- Instrument(name='c...| OpenTelemetry
Status: Stable except where otherwise specified A Resource is an immutable representation of the entity producing telemetry as Attributes. For example, a process producing telemetry that is running in a container on Kubernetes has a Pod name, it is in a namespace and possibly is part of a Deployment which also has a name. All three of these attributes can be included in the Resource. Note that there are certain “standard attributes” that have prescribed meanings.| OpenTelemetry
Status: Mixed Users of OpenTelemetry need a way for instrumentation interactions with the OpenTelemetry API to actually produce telemetry. The OpenTelemetry SDK (henceforth referred to as the SDK) is an implementation of the OpenTelemetry API that provides users with this functionally. All language implementations of OpenTelemetry MUST provide an SDK. MeterProvider Status: Stable A MeterProvider MUST provide a way to allow a Resource to be specified. If a Resource is specified, it SHOULD be a...| OpenTelemetry
This document defines some terms that are used across this specification. Some other fundamental terms are documented in the overview document. User Roles Application Owner The maintainer of an application or service, responsible for configuring and managing the lifecycle of the OpenTelemetry SDK. Library Author The maintainer of a shared library which is depended upon by many applications, and targeted by OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Instrumentation Author The maintainer of OpenTelemetry i...| OpenTelemetry
Status: Stable, except where otherwise specified The Tracing API consists of these main components: TracerProvider is the entry point of the API. It provides access to Tracers. Tracer is responsible for creating Spans. Span is the API to trace an operation. Data types While languages and platforms have different ways of representing data, this section defines some generic requirements for this API. Time OpenTelemetry can operate on time values up to nanosecond (ns) precision. The representati...| OpenTelemetry
Status: Stable, except where otherwise specified This is a data model and semantic conventions that allow to represent logs from various sources: application log files, machine generated events, system logs, etc. Existing log formats can be unambiguously mapped to this data model. Reverse mapping from this data model is also possible to the extent that the target log format has equivalent capabilities. The purpose of the data model is to have a common understanding of what a log record is, wh...| OpenTelemetry
