This is the JavaScript version of OpenTelemetry, a framework for collecting traces, metrics and logs from applications.
This project is currently in Alpha stage. Its APIs can change at any time and it is not intended to be used in production scenarios!
For detailed documentation of the OpenTelemetry API, see the documentation.
To get started tracing your own application, see the Getting Started Guide. For more information about automatic instrumentation see @opentelemetry/node, which provides auto-instrumentation for Node.js applications. If the automatic instrumentation does not suit your needs, or you would like to create manual traces, see @opentelemetry/tracing
If you are a library author looking to build OpenTelemetry into your library, please see the documentation. As a library author, it is important that you only depend on properties and methods published on the public API. If you use any properties or methods from the SDK that are not officially a part of the public API, your library may break if an Application Owner uses a different SDK implementation.
OpenTelemetry JS is under active development. This release isn't guaranteed to conform to a specific version of the specification, and future releases will not attempt to maintain backwards compatibility with the alpha release.
The v0.2 alpha release includes:
- Tracing API
- Tracing SDK (Node and Web)
- Metrics API
- Jaeger Trace Exporter
- Zipkin Trace Exporter
- OpenTracing Bridge
- HTTP, GRPC, DNS Instrumentations
- Document Load for web
- Metrics SDK (
CounterandGaugesupport) - Export work is underway.
The v0.3 alpha release includes:
- Prometheus Metric Exporter
- OpenTelemetry Collector Exporter
- mongodb, redis, mysql Instrumentations
See the project milestones for details on upcoming releases. The dates and features described here are estimates, and subject to change.
Future release targets include:
| Component | Version | Target Date |
|---|---|---|
| Support for Tags/Baggage | Alpha v0.4 | January 31 2020 |
| Metrics Aggregation | Alpha v0.4 | January 31 2020 |
| Metrics SDK (Complete) | Alpha v0.4 | January 31 2020 |
| OpenCensus Bridge | Alpha v0.4 | January 31 2020 |
We'd love your help!. Use tags up-for-grabs and good first issue to get started with the project. Follow CONTRIBUTING guide to report issues or submit a proposal.
We have a weekly SIG meeting! See the community page for meeting details and notes.

| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| @opentelemetry/types | This package provides TypeScript interfaces and enums for the OpenTelemetry core trace and metrics model. It is intended for use both on the server and in the browser. |
| @opentelemetry/core | This package provides default and no-op implementations of the OpenTelemetry types for trace and metrics. It's intended for use both on the server and in the browser. |
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| @opentelemetry/tracing | This module provides a full control over instrumentation and span creation. It doesn't load async_hooks or any instrumentation plugin by default. It is intended for use both on the server and in the browser. |
| @opentelemetry/metrics | This module provides instruments and meters for reporting of time series data. |
| @opentelemetry/node | This module provides automatic tracing for Node.js applications. It is intended for use on the server only. |
| @opentelemetry/web | This module provides automated instrumentation and tracing for Web applications. It is intended for use in the browser only. |
| @opentelemetry/base | This package provides base code for the SDK packages (tracing and metrics). |
OpenTelemetry is vendor-agnostic and can upload data to any backend with various exporter implementations. Even though, OpenTelemetry provides support for many backends, vendors/users can also implement their own exporters for proprietary and unofficially supported backends. Currently, OpenTelemetry supports:
- @opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger
- @opentelemetry/exporter-zipkin
- @opentelemetry/exporter-stackdriver-trace
- @opentelemetry/exporter-collector
OpenTelemetry can collect tracing data automatically using plugins. Vendors/Users can also create and use their own. Currently, OpenTelemetry supports automatic tracing for:
- @opentelemetry/plugin-grpc
- @opentelemetry/plugin-http
- @opentelemetry/plugin-https
- @opentelemetry/plugin-mongodb
- @opentelemetry/plugin-mysql
- @opentelemetry/plugin-pg
- @opentelemetry/plugin-pg-pool
- @opentelemetry/plugin-redis
- @opentelemetry/plugin-ioredis
- @opentelemetry/plugin-dns - By default, this plugin is not loaded #612
To request automatic tracing support for a module not on this list, please file an issue. Alternatively, you can write a plugin yourself.
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| @opentelemetry/shim-opentracing | OpenTracing shim allows existing OpenTracing instrumentation to report to OpenTelemetry |
