== OpenTelemetry

From https://opentelemetry.io[OpenTelemetry.io],

[quote] OpenTelemetry is a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs. Use it to instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces) to help you analyze your software’s performance and behavior.

This purpose of this mule extension is to allow Mule Applications participate in OpenTelemetry-based distributed traces.
