Configure OpenTelemetry programmatically rather than through environment variables or command-line flags. This creates a more maintainable and standardized approach to observability. Additionally, ensure all observability components like collectors are explicitly included in your deployment configurations.
Configure OpenTelemetry programmatically rather than through environment variables or command-line flags. This creates a more maintainable and standardized approach to observability. Additionally, ensure all observability components like collectors are explicitly included in your deployment configurations.
Example:
# Preferred - Adding collector to Docker Compose services
services: "${{ format('{0}\notel-collector', join(matrix.containers, '\n')) }}"
# Avoid passing as environment variables
# make OTEL=true functional-test-coverage # Not recommended
This approach ensures consistent observability setup across environments and makes configuration changes more traceable through source control.
