What exactly is OpenTelemetry?

Cloud Native Computing Foundation hosts OpenTelemetry, an open-source observability framework. It is the result of the amalgamation of the OpenCensus and OpenTracing initiatives.

OpenTelemetry standardizes the collection and transmission of metrics, traces, and logs from diverse software components in a distributed system.

Because OpenTelemetry is vendor-independent and supports many programming languages, it is suited for a wide range of applications and settings.
