How do I instrument Cortex with OpenTelemetry?

To instrument Cortex with OpenTelemetry, you need to set up tracing and metrics collection using the OpenTelemetry Collector and configure it to send data to Cortex. This involves deploying the OpenTelemetry Collector, configuring the necessary pipelines, and ensuring that your application code is instrumented to generate the required telemetry data.

Here’s a simple example of how you can integrate OpenTelemetry with a basic application:

// Composer dependencies for OpenTelemetry require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use OpenTelemetry\SDK\Trace\TracerProvider; use OpenTelemetry\API\Trace\Tracer; // Create a Tracer $tracerProvider = new TracerProvider(); $tracer = $tracerProvider->getTracer('example-tracer'); // Start a span $span = $tracer->startSpan('my-span'); // Your application logic here // ... // End the span $span->end(); // Shutdown the tracer provider $tracerProvider->shutdown();
