OpenTelemetry-Go is the [Go](https://golang.org/) implementation of [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/).
|
||
|
|
It provides a set of APIs to directly measure performance and behavior of your software and send this data to observability platforms.

### Compatibility
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenTelemetry-Go attempts to track the current supported versions of the
|
||
|
|
[Go language](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release#policy). The release
|
||
|
|
schedule after a new minor version of go is as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The first release or one month, which ever is sooner, will add build steps for the new go version.
|
||
|
|
- The first release after three months will remove support for the oldest go version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This project is tested on the following systems.

are made for those systems currently.

## Getting Started
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can find a getting started guide on [opentelemetry.io](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/go/getting-started/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenTelemetry's goal is to provide a single set of APIs to capture distributed
|
||
|
|
traces and metrics from your application and send them to an observability
|
||
|
|
platform. This project allows you to do just that for applications written in
|
||
|
|
Go. There are two steps to this process: instrument your application, and
|
||
|
|
configure an exporter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Instrumentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To start capturing distributed traces and metric events from your application
|
||
|
|
it first needs to be instrumented. The easiest way to do this is by using an
|
||
|
|
instrumentation library for your code. Be sure to check out [the officially
|
||
|
|
supported instrumentation
|
||
|
|
libraries](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/tree/main/instrumentation).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need to extend the telemetry an instrumentation library provides or want
|
||
|
|
to build your own instrumentation for your application directly you will need
|
||
|
|
to use the
|
||
|
|
[go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api)
|
||
|
|
package. The included [examples](./example/) are a good way to see some
|
||
|
|
practical uses of this process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Export
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now that your application is instrumented to collect telemetry, it needs an
|
||
|
|
export pipeline to send that telemetry to an observability platform.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All officially supported exporters for the OpenTelemetry project are contained in the [exporters directory](./exporters).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Exporter | Metrics | Traces |

||
