Open standard for traces, metrics and logs

About OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry offers an open-source observability framework and CNCF project that standardizes telemetry collection. What sets it apart is that its APIs, SDKs and collector let applications emit vendor-neutral traces, metrics and logs. It fits teams that value dependable, well-documented tooling they can adopt incrementally and keep using as projects and traffic grow over time.
