Does LiveKit Support OpenTelemetry or Do I Need to Implement My Own Tracing?

[narendra-bluebash]

Objective I’m planning to implement end-to-end distributed tracing across the voice pipeline (STT → LLM → TTS → LiveKit) using OpenTelemetry and Jaeger.

Question Is there any built-in support or library in LiveKit for OpenTelemetry or distributed tracing? Or do I need to manually instrument LiveKit interactions and propagate trace context myself?

What I'm Trying to Do Track each user request across services: LiveKit → STT → LLM → TTS

Use OpenTelemetry for tracing.

Export traces to Jaeger for visualization.

Example use case: Identify which component adds the most latency or fails during a call.

Bonus If there’s any example, documentation, or community reference around this — would appreciate a pointer
