OpenTelemetry-Go
The Go OpenTelemetry client.
Installation
This repository includes multiple packages. The api
package contains core data types, interfaces and no-op implementations that comprise the OpenTelemetry API following
the
specification.
The sdk
package is the reference implementation of the API.
Libraries that produce telemetry data should only depend on api
and defer the choice of the SDK to the application developer. Applications may
depend on sdk
or another package that implements the API.
All packages are published to go.opentelemetry.io/otel and is the preferred location to import from.

Quick Start
Below is a brief example of importing OpenTelemetry, initializing a tracer and creating some simple spans.
package main
import (
"context"
"log"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/api/global"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/trace/stdout"
sdktrace "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace"
)
func initTracer() {
exporter, err := stdout.NewExporter(stdout.Options{PrettyPrint: true})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
tp, err := sdktrace.NewProvider(sdktrace.WithConfig(sdktrace.Config{DefaultSampler: sdktrace.AlwaysSample()}),
sdktrace.WithSyncer(exporter))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
global.SetTraceProvider(tp)
}
func main() {
initTracer()
tracer := global.Tracer("ex.com/basic")
tracer.WithSpan(context.Background(), "foo",
func(ctx context.Context) error {
tracer.WithSpan(ctx, "bar",
func(ctx context.Context) error {
tracer.WithSpan(ctx, "baz",
func(ctx context.Context) error {
return nil
},
)
return nil
},
)
return nil
},
)
}
See the API documentation for more detail, and the opentelemetry-example-app for a complete example.
Compatible Exporters
See the Go packages depending upon sdk/export/trace and sdk/export/metric for a list of all exporters compatible with OpenTelemetry's Go SDK.
Compatible Libraries
See the opentelemetry-go-contrib repo for packages that facilitates instrumenting other useful Go libraries with opentelemetry-go for distributed tracing and monitoring.

Release Schedule
OpenTelemetry Go is under active development. Below is the release schedule for the Go library. The first version of the release isn't guaranteed to conform to a specific version of the specification, and future releases will not attempt to maintain backward compatibility with the alpha release.
