To auto-instrument Node.js apps with OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics, call useAzureMonitor() before importing other modules. This initializes Azure Monitor integration to automatically emit distributed traces, metrics, and logs for server-side applications.

Yes, Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry supports ES Module projects in Node.js. It provides specific loader compatibility and configuration options to ensure proper auto-instrumentation and telemetry export within ES Module architectures.

You can automatically collect traces and metrics for common Node.js libraries including HTTP, MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis. The instrumentation integrates with these libraries automatically to capture distributed traces with minimal configuration.

The correct initialization order requires calling useAzureMonitor() before importing other application modules. This ensures the OpenTelemetry instrumentation hooks attach properly to capture traces, metrics, and logs from the start.

Yes, you can configure custom exporters and offline storage options for Node.js OpenTelemetry traces. The instrumentation supports configurable exporters and resources, allowing you to manage custom traces, metrics, and logs for advanced observability scenarios.

Custom Node.js traces may not appear in Azure Monitor if useAzureMonitor() is not called before importing other modules. Ensuring correct initialization order and applying supported library configurations are required for proper telemetry export.
