The OpenTelemetry project is a collection of open source, vendor-independent resources for collecting and managing application telemetry data. With Open Liberty and MicroProfile Telemetry 2.0 and later, you can manage logs, metrics, and traces in a standardized way by using the OpenTelemetry protocol.

OpenTelemetry provides a link:https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/[collector] component that can receive telemetry data from your runtime and applications and export it to backend services of your choice for monitoring and analysis. By default, all OpenTelemetry data is exported by using the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP). OTLP defines the encoding of telemetry data and the protocol that is used to exchange data between a client and server. Many backend services accept OTLP data without requiring conversion, but OpenTelemetry also provides a collection of service-specific exporters for popular open source and commercial services, such as link:https://zipkin.io/[Zipkin] and link:https://prometheus.io/[Prometheus]. You can configure exporter settings by specifying MicroProfile Config properties and other system properties or environment variables.

OpenTelemetry is implemented in Open Liberty through the feature:mpTelemetry[display=MicroProfile Telemetry] feature. When you enable the MicroProfile Telemetry feature 2.0 or later and specify the required configuration property, Open Liberty automatically collects and exports logs, traces, and metrics at the application or runtime level. For many common application scenarios, no changes are needed in your application code to collect this data. MicroProfile Telemetry 1.1 and earlier enables only the collection of traces and only at the application level.

This configuration creates all telemetry from Application 1 with the service name `A1`, and from Application 2 with the service name `A2`.
* You can also use a combination of runtime-level and application-level configuration, so that some settings apply to all applications on the runtime, while others are specific to each application. This strategy can save you from having to duplicate general configuration settings in multiple applications on the same runtime. Any runtime-level configuration takes precedence over application-level configuration. Therefore, you can enable OpenTelemetry and assign a service name individually for each application, but specify other settings at the runtime level to apply globally to all applications on the runtime.

For example, you might want to collect a unique set of telemetry data for each application in the runtime, but have all applications use the same OpenTelemetry logs exporter. You can set the OpenTelemetry logs exporter at the runtime-level by adding th following property in the `bootstrap.properties` file:

To change the endpoint that the default `otlp` exporter uses, set the `otel.exporter.otlp.endpoint` property. For example, you can set the following property in the `bootstrap.properties` file to change the endpoint for all `otlp` logs, metrics, and traces from the `\http://localhost:4317` default to `\http://localhost:9080`:

When you enable OpenTelemetry for Open Liberty, a default set of metrics is automatically collected and exported according to the configured OpenTelemetry exporter settings. OpenTelemetry collects both JVM runtime-environment metrics and HTTP metrics.

You can enable OpenTelemetry at the runtime level to gather telemetry data from both the runtime and application. When you choose this option, you specify OpenTelemetry properties in runtime-level configuration sources instead of in application-level `microprofile-config.properties` files. In most cases, runtime-level configuration is preferred because it includes both runtime-level telemetry and application-specific telemetry. Alternatively, if your runtime hosts more tha one application, you can enable OpenTelemetry and and configure OpenTelemetry properties at the application level, for example, in microprofile-config.properties` files for each application. However, this option does not enable runtime telemetry. For more information, see xref:ROOT:microprofile-telemetry.adoc[OpenTelemetry].

The runtime reads properties in the following table at either application startup or runtime startup, depending on when the OpenTelemetry instance initializes. In cases where each application is configured to use a separate OpenTelemetry instance, the runtime reads the properties at application startup. In cases where all applications on the runtime share a single OpenTelemetry instance, the runtime reads the properties at runtime startup.
