About the client library

Azure Monitor is working on OpenTelemtery distros - uber-packages that bring and configure all users need to instrument their applications (OpenTelemetry, instrumentation libraries, and exporter) to send all kinds of telemetry to ApplicationInsights.

The plan is that only Python will have green-field SDK that's based on vanilla OpenTelemetry. Other languages will evolve existing Application Insights SDKs adding new OTel-based experiences to them for the time being.

Name of client library:
- Python: azure-monitor-applicationinsights-opentelemetry
- Future (not creating green-filled packages for now, listing to demonstrate the principle):
  - .NET: Azure.Monitor.ApplicationInsights.OpenTelemetry.AspNetCore or Azure.Monitor.ApplicationInsights.OpenTelemetry.WorkerService
Link to library reference documentation:
- Python
- Node.js
Is there an existing SDK library? If yes, provide link:
- Python
- Node.js

Step 1: Champion Scenarios

Enable telemetry collection: logs, metrics, and traces
Configure sampling
Configure log level
Enable 3P instrumentation

API views:

Step 2: Quickstart Samples (Optional)

from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.distro import configure_azure_monitor
from opentelemetry import trace

configure_azure_monitor(
    connection_string="<your-connection-string>",
    service_name="foo_service",
    tracing_export_interval_millis=15000,
    logging_level=WARN
)

logger = getLogger(__name__)
tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)

with tracer.start_as_current_span("hello"):
    print("Hello, World!")
    logger.info("Correlated info log")
    logger.warning("Correlated warning log")
    logger.error("Correlated error log")
