OpenTelemetry (OTel)
Definition
OpenTelemetry is an open standard for producing and sending traces, metrics and logs, and it is widely used to send LLM and agent traces to an observability backend over the OTLP protocol.
In more detail
Using OpenTelemetry means instrumentation is not tied to one vendor, so a team can change backends without rewriting its code.
