Quickstart

A simple OpenTelemetry setup with an OTLP exporter to send metrics.

import os
from opentelemetry import metrics
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http import OTLPMetricExporter
from opentelemetry.sdk.metrics import MeterProvider

# Set up OpenTelemetry
meter_provider = MeterProvider()
metrics.set_meter_provider(meter_provider)

# Create an exporter
exporter = OTLPMetricExporter(endpoint=os.environ.get('OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT', 'http://localhost:4317'))

# Use the exporter
meter = metrics.get_meter(__name__)
metric = meter.create_counter('example_counter')
metric.add(1)
