OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open source, vendor-neutral observability framework that supplies APIs, SDKs, and tools for the instrumentation of cloud-native applications and services. OTel enables you to collect metrics, logs, and traces from a variety of sources and route them to various backends. By itself, however, it can’t help you analyze this data or correlate telemetry from different parts of your stack.
