Honeycomb OpenTelemetry Distro for Go
STATUS: This project is being Sunset. See this issue for more details.
This is Honeycomb's distribution of OpenTelemetry for Go. It makes getting started with OpenTelemetry and Honeycomb easier!
Latest release built with:
Minimum Go Version: 1.20
See the OpenTelemetry SDK's compatability matrix for more information.
Why would I want to use this?
- Streamlined configuration for sending data to Honeycomb!
- Easy interop with existing instrumentation with OpenTelemetry!
- Deterministic sampling!
- Multi-span attributes!
- Dynamic attributes!
Where's most of the code?
This package is a layer on top of the core package, which you can find in here. As such, this package only contains Honeycomb-specific functionality.
Our goal is to have the otel-config-go package be donated to the opentelemetry-go-contrib project as a blessed, vendor-neutral way to get started.
