OpenTelemetry tracing

Ingest trace data

You can ingest OpenTelemetry trace data (traces and spans) in two different ways:

Available for: Java, Go, Node.js, PHP, and .NET on all platforms supported by OneAgent

In combination with OneAgent instrumentation

Use this approach:

For services that are already instrumented by OneAgent automatically
To extend visibility into frameworks and libraries instrumented with OpenTelemetry
To customize the distributed traces

Instrument without OneAgent code module

Use this approach:

For services that cannot be instrumented by a OneAgent code module
When the component you want to monitor already exposes trace data in OpenTelemetry format (OTLP)
