OpenTelemetry exporter build?

[knutwannheden]

We are currently using a custom implementation of the OpenTracing SPI to send our tracing data to Application Insights (the implementation is based on the Application Insights SDK 2.6.1) from a Quarkus application. Our plan is to move to OpenTelemetry as soon as it is supported by Quarkus.

Since Quarkus also supports native image generation (using GraalVM) auto-instrumentation using a Java agent won't be possible and a "deep integration" with Quarkus will be required. I would like to know if use cases like this one are on the radar and if builds (i.e. Maven artifacts) will be provided, which cater for this use case. I imagine there would be a build which provides an exporter only.

Just wanted to post an update that we are planning to do this, probably sometime in the next few months.

Is there any update on this?

hi @DominiqueClaes!

Work on this has picked back up recently. We have split out a standalone component that contains trace, metrics and log exporters (https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-Java/tree/main/agent/azure-monitor-exporter) and are planning to publish those.

There's also #2125 if you want auto-instrumentation and have control of your public static void main(String[]) method, but are not able to use -javaagent on your command-line.

Closing, you can now use the Java agent's underlying OpenTelemetry exporters directly: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/blob/main/sdk/monitor/azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter/README.md
