The .NET OpenTelemetry client.

This repository includes multiple installable packages. The OpenTelemetry.Api package includes abstract classes and no-op implementations for the OpenTelemetry API specification.

The OpenTelemetry package is the reference implementation of the API.

Libraries that produce telemetry data should only depend on OpenTelemetry.Api, and defer the choice of the SDK to the application developer. Applications may depend on OpenTelemetry or another package that implements the API.

Please note that this library is currently in alpha, and shouldn't generally be used in production environments.

The API and SDK packages are available on the following NuGet feeds:

• MyGet V2
• MyGet V3

The online documentation is available at TBD.

See the OpenTelemetry registry for a list of exporters available.

See CONTRIBUTING.md

We meet weekly on Tuesdays, and the time of the meeting alternates between 11AM PT and 4PM PT. The meeting is subject to change depending on contributors' availability. Check the OpenTelemetry community calendar for specific dates.

Meetings take place via Zoom video conference.

Meeting notes are available as a public Google doc. For edit access, get in touch on Gitter.

OpenTelemetry .NET is under active development.

The library is not yet generally available, and releases aren't guaranteed to conform to a specific version of the specification. Future releases will not attempt to maintain backwards compatibility with previous releases. Each alpha and beta release includes significant changes to the API and SDK packages, making them incompatible with each other.

See the release notes for existing releases.

See the project milestones for details on upcoming releases. The dates and features described in issues and milestones are estimates, and subject to change.
