Reading is required around OpenTelemetry.

You can instrument a Go executable using OpenTelemetry without having to write additional code. All you need to do is configure a few environment variables and run the instrumentation with elevated privileges.

OTEL allows export of logs, metrics and traces. Storing the data should also be designed https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/vendors/ https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/registry/?component=exporter&language=
