OpenTelemetry Python

Try it in 3 steps

1. 1

   Install OpenTelemetry API and SDK 1.45.0

   Pin the reviewed API and SDK to the same release. Python 3.10 or newer is required.

   python -m pip install "opentelemetry-api==1.45.0" "opentelemetry-sdk==1.45.0"Copy
2. 2

   Create a tracer with the console exporter

   Follow the official basic tracer example by configuring a SpanProcessor and ConsoleSpanExporter.

   cat > otel_demo.py <<'PY' from opentelemetry import trace from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor, ConsoleSpanExporter trace.set_tracer_provider(TracerProvider()) trace.get_tracer_provider().add_span_processor(BatchSpanProcessor(ConsoleSpanExporter())) tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__) with tracer.start_as_current_span('oss-tanbou-check'): print('Hello OpenTelemetry') PYCopy
3. 3

   Export the span to the console

   Confirm Hello OpenTelemetry and the span JSON on standard output. No external collector is required.
