OpenTelemetry
OpenTelemetry is an open standard and ecosystem for collecting traces, metrics, logs, events, and resource metadata.
Key Points
- Semantic conventions standardize names, attributes, spans, metrics, logs, events, and resources.
- Trace conventions help polyglot systems correlate operations across HTTP, databases, messaging, RPC, exceptions, and more.
- Observability data can feed debugging, monitoring, and audit-facing product views.
Relevance to Init Intelligence
Init Intelligence should instrument agent/workflow execution with OpenTelemetry-compatible traces while also producing customer-facing audit records. ^[inferred]
