OpenTelemetry

Quick Start (signal design)

• Export OTLP via an OpenTelemetry Collector (vendor-neutral endpoint).
• Standardize resource attributes:

  service.name

  ,

  service.version

  ,

  deployment.environment

  .
• Start with auto-instrumentation, then add manual spans and log correlation.
