Built-in OpenTelemetry support in Elasticsearch clients
How we instrumented our libraries with OTel and what you can learn from it
At Elastic, we recently added OpenTelemetry support to most of our OpenSource Elasticsearch clients. This talk will tell the story on how we got there and what we learned along the way.
Elasticsearch clients exist in multiple languages (Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, etc.), therefore we also created Semantic Conventions to make sure all Elasticsearch client instrumentations behave in the same way.
Attendees will learn about how to instrument existing libraries with OpenTelemetry and they will also learn how to interact with the community and collaborate on creating Semantic Conventions for specific technologies.
