open-telemetry/opentelemetry-erlang

This system is an OpenTelemetry implementation for Erlang and Elixir, providing a complete distributed tracing and metrics instrumentation framework. It exposes APIs for creating and managing spans, logs, and various metric instruments, while supporting context propagation and baggage. The SDK handles span processing, sampling, and resource detection, and offers exporters for the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) and Zipkin.

This period focused on establishing the foundational components for distributed tracing, introducing the standalone OpenTelemetry API and updating the SDK to version 1.7.0 with a new centralized configuration system. The work included implementing core tracing features such as context propagation, baggage management, and batch span processing, alongside the initial release of the OTLP exporter for Erlang and Elixir.

This period focused on introducing experimental support for metrics, including a new API for counters, histograms, and gauges, alongside the creation of a dedicated experimental application. It also involved establishing semantic conventions for attributes and deprecating older macro-based definitions, while adding initial exporters for Zipkin.

This period focused on upgrading the OpenTelemetry semantic conventions to version 1.40.0, introducing new attributes and metrics for domains such as Azure, CI/CD, and GenAI. The work involved generating and testing Elixir and Erlang code templates, updating schema URL mappings, and implementing stability opt-in configurations.
