This document provides instructions for setting up OpenTelemetry instrumentation in your Java applications. OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source observability framework that enables you to generate and collect telemetry data—such as traces, metrics, and logs—from your Java application.

After collecting the telemetry data, you can configure an exporter to send it to Atatus for analysis.

The process involves three main steps:

  • Instrumenting your Java application with OpenTelemetry
  • Configuring an exporter to send the data to Atatus
  • Validating the configuration to ensure the data is being sent correctly

This workflow helps you capture and send valuable telemetry data for monitoring and troubleshooting your application.
