SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Exporter provides a Python-based path to ship traces, metrics, and logs from applications directly to Application Insights, enabling centralized observability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Trace Exporter: send OpenTelemetry traces to Application Insights for deep tracing and diagnostics.
  • Metric Exporter: publish custom and standard metrics to Azure Monitor for reliable performance insight.
  • Log Exporter: forward structured logs to Application Insights for centralized logging.
  • Environment & Credential Flexibility: supports connection strings or Azure Identity credentials for secure deployments.
  • Offline Storage & Retry: configurable retry and storage to cope with transient network failures.

Quick Start

Install the azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter package and configure the exporter to start sending telemetry to Application Insights.
