# OpenTelemetry-Go OTLP Span Exporter
[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace)
[OpenTelemetry Protocol Exporter](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/v1.5.0/specification/protocol/exporter.md) implementation.
## Installation
```
go get -u go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace
```
## Examples
- [Exporter setup and examples](./otlptracehttp/example_test.go)
- [Full example sending telemetry to a local collector](../../../example/otel-collector)
## [`otlptrace`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace)
The `otlptrace` package provides an exporter implementing the OTel span exporter interface.
This exporter is configured using a client satisfying the `otlptrace.Client` interface.
This client handles the transformation of data into wire format and the transmission of that data to the collector.
## [`otlptracegrpc`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc)
The `otlptracegrpc` package implements a client for the span exporter that sends trace telemetry data to the collector using gRPC with protobuf-encoded payloads.
## [`otlptracehttp`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp)
The `otlptracehttp` package implements a client for the span exporter that sends trace telemetry data to the collector using HTTP with protobuf-encoded payloads.
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
The following environment variables can be used
(instead of options objects) to override the default configuration.
| Environment variable | Option | Default value |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |------------------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT` | `WithEndpoint` `WithInsecure` | `https://localhost:4317` |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_CERTIFICATE` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_CERTIFICATE` | `WithTLSClientConfig` | |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_HEADERS` | `WithHeaders` | |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_COMPRESSION` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_COMPRESSION` | `WithCompression` | |
| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TIMEOUT` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_TIMEOUT` | `WithTimeout` | `10s` |
Configuration using options have precedence over the environment variables.
