OpenTelemetry support?

[dkrizic]

Hi,

would it be possible to integration OpenTelemetry and emit Spans upon request? Using this library here:

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go

and activate it if e.g. the parameter

--opentelemetry-endpoint

or the environment variable

OPENTELEMETRY_ENDPOINT

is defined.

Hello @dkrizic 👋

It was on my TODO list! I plan to add it, for tracing at least, as metrics is available through Prometheus.

Hi @gulien,

regarding Metrics I suggest using the OT library as well. OT covers Metrics as well and Metrics are pushed to the same endpoint.

Regarding Logging: The log should contain trace_id and span_id as well. This allows powerful Log->Trace and Trace->Log.

Thanks for the details!
