The OpenTelemetry (OTel) project is an open-source, vendor-neutral observability framework, providing a common observability standard. It enables users to instrument their applications in order to export observability data: traces, metrics and logs, enabling increased granularity of debugging and testing.

Note

OpenTelemetry support is a component included in MySQL Enterprise Edition, a commercial product. To learn more about commercial products, see <https://www.mysql.com/products/>.
