We hold regular meetings. See details at community page.
OpenTelemetry is the merging of OpenCensus and OpenTracing into one project.
This project contains the following top level components:
- OpenTelemetry API:
- tracing api includes
Tracer
,Span
andSpanContext
. - baggage api defines a collection of entries in the form of key-value pairs of data that can be propagated to provide contextual information.
- metrics api.
- context api.
- tracing api includes
- extensions define additional API extensions, which are not part of the core API.
- sdk define the reference implementation complying to the OpenTelemetry API.
- sdk-extensions define additional SDK extensions, which are not part of the core SDK.
- OpenTracing shim defines a bridge layer from OpenTracing to the OpenTelemetry API.
- examples on how to use the APIs, SDK, and standard exporters.
We would love to hear from the larger community: please provide feedback proactively.
Unless otherwise noted, all published artifacts support Java 8 or higher. See CONTRIBUTING.md for additional instructions for building this project for development.
Both API and SDK extensions consist of various additional components which are excluded from the core artifacts to keep them from growing too large. We still aim to provide the same level of quality and guarantee for them as for the core components. Please don't hesitate to use them if you find them useful.
Please refer to the contribution guide on how to setup and contribute!
Please refer to the quick start guide on how use the OpenTelemetry API.
