Features

• basic traces
• basic metrics
• basic logs
• nice API
• interface with lwt
• sync collector relying on ocurl

• batching, perf, etc.

• async collector relying on ocurl-multi
• interface with logs (carry context around)

Use

For now, instrument manually:

module Otel = Opentelemetry
let (let@) f x = f x

let foo () =
  let@ scope = Otel.Trace.with_  "foo"
      ~attrs:["hello", `String "world"] in
  do_work();
  Otel.Metrics.(
    emit [
      gauge ~name:"foo.x" [int 42];
    ]);
  do_more_work();
  ()

let main () =
  Otel.Globals.service_name := "my_service";
  Otel.GC_metrics.basic_setup();

  Opentelemetry_client_ocurl.with_setup () @@ fun () ->
  (* … *)
  foo ();
  (* … *)

Configuration

The library is configurable via Opentelemetry.Config, via the standard opentelemetry env variables, or with some custom environment variables.

• OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT sets the http endpoint to send signals to
• OTEL_OCAML_DEBUG=1 to print some debug messages from the opentelemetry library ide
• OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES sets a comma separated list of custom resource attributes

Collector opentelemetry-client-ocurl

This is a synchronous collector that uses the http+protobuf format to send signals (metrics, traces) to some other collector (eg. otelcol or the datadog agent).
