For ways to generate that telemetry data, +you should look into the OpenTelemetry API distribution (if you are a library +author) or the OpenTelemetry::SDK distribution (if you are an application +author). + +The telemetry data provided by the API and SDK distributions needs to be sent +and collected somewhere for processing. This distribution provides an OTLP +exporter class that can be used to send telemetry data to a collector that +supports that protocol. + +This distribution will be used by the OpenTelemetry::SDK distribution to send +telemetry data (if configured to do so). If you are not writing an application +that will send telemetry data to a collector, then you are unlikely to need +distribution directly. |
