OpenTelemetry - Quick Reference

Full Reference: See advanced.md for context propagation, detailed metrics API, Collector configuration, Docker Compose stack, sampling strategies, and semantic conventions.

Node.js Setup

npm install @opentelemetry/sdk-node \
  @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node \
  @opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http

Basic Configuration

// tracing.ts - Load FIRST before any other imports
import { NodeSDK } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-node';
import { getNodeAutoInstrumentations } from '@opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node';
import { OTLPTraceExporter } from '@opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http';
import { Resource } from '@opentelemetry/resources';
import { SEMRESATTRS_SERVICE_NAME } from '@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions';

const sdk = new NodeSDK({
  resource: new Resource({
    [SEMRESATTRS_SERVICE_NAME]: 'my-service',
  }),
  traceExporter: new OTLPTraceExporter({
    url: process.env.OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT || 'http://localhost:4318/v1/traces',
  }),
  instrumentations: [getNodeAutoInstrumentations()],
});

sdk.start();

process.on('SIGTERM', () => {
  sdk.shutdown().finally(() => process.exit(0));
});

Application Entry Point

// index.ts
import './tracing'; // MUST be first import
import express from 'express';

const app = express();

Manual Traces

import { trace, SpanStatusCode } from '@opentelemetry/api';

const tracer = trace.getTracer('my-service', '1.0.0');

async function processOrder(orderId: string) {
  return tracer.startActiveSpan('process-order', async (span) => {
    try {
      span.setAttribute('order.id', orderId);
      await processOrderLogic(orderId);
      span.setStatus({ code: SpanStatusCode.OK });
    } catch (error) {
      span.setStatus({ code: SpanStatusCode.ERROR, message: error.message });
      span.recordException(error);
      throw error;
    } finally {
      span.end();
    }
  });
}

When NOT to Use This Skill

• Simple application logging: Use logging frameworks instead
• Monolithic applications: May be overkill
• Vendor-specific APM: DataDog, New Relic have their own SDKs
• Development/debugging only: Standard logging may suffice
• Legacy systems: Migration effort may be high

Anti-Patterns

Quick Troubleshooting

Monitoring Metrics

Checklist

• SDK initialized before other imports
• Resource attributes configured
• Context propagation implemented
• Sampling strategy defined
• Graceful shutdown configured
• Collector deployed
• Dashboards created (Grafana)
• Alerts configured
