A carefully curated list of open source content related to OpenTelemetry.
OpenTelemetry or OTel is an open-source project, which allows you to collect, export, and generate traces, logs, and, metrics (also known as the three pillars of observability). It is a set of APIs and SDKs.
“When we announced the OpenTelemetry project in 2019, we envisioned it as the next major version of both OpenTracing and OpenCensus,” said Ben Sigelman, one of the co-creators of both OpenTracing and OpenTelemetry.
