OpenTelemetry-Rust

The Rust OpenTelemetry client.

OpenTelemetry provides a single set of APIs, libraries, agents, and collector services to capture distributed traces and metrics from your application. You can analyze them using Prometheus, Jaeger, and other observability tools.

Quick Start

use opentelemetry::{api::{Provider, TracerGenerics}, global, sdk};

fn main() {
    global::set_provider(sdk::Provider::default());

    global::trace_provider().get_tracer("component-a").with_span("foo", |_span| {
        global::trace_provider().get_tracer("component-b").with_span("bar", |_span| {
            global::trace_provider().get_tracer("component-c").with_span("baz", |_span| {

            })
        })
    });
}

Release Schedule

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