OpenTelemetry Go is the official Go language implementation of the OpenTelemetry project, offering a core toolkit for Go applications. It provides a comprehensive set of APIs and SDKs designed to enable standardized, vendor-agnostic generation, collection, and export of telemetry data. This includes stable support for distributed traces and metrics, alongside evolving beta support for logs. Developers can easily instrument their Go applications with OpenTelemetry Go to gain deep insights into application behavior and performance, particularly within complex distributed systems, simplifying observability integration for robust Go services.

  • Provides standardized, vendor-agnostic telemetry data (traces, metrics, logs) processing
  • Stable support for distributed traces and metrics, with logs currently in Beta
  • Easy instrumentation for Go applications with support for various exporters
  • Broad compatibility with active Go language versions, major operating systems, and architectures
