Export OpenTelemetry telemetry data to Azure Monitor / Application Insights.
Installation (Deprecated)
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-beta.x</version>
</dependency>Recommended: Use Autoconfigure Instead
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-monitor-opentelemetry-autoconfigure</artifactId>
<version>LATEST</version>
</dependency>Environment Variables
APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING=InstrumentationKey=xxx;IngestionEndpoint=https://xxx.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/Basic Setup with Autoconfigure (Recommended)
Using Environment Variable
import io.opentelemetry.sdk.autoconfigure.AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdk;
import io.opentelemetry.sdk.autoconfigure.AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdkBuilder;
import io.opentelemetry.api.OpenTelemetry;
import com.azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter.AzureMonitorExporter;
// Connection string from APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING env var

OpenTelemetry openTelemetry = sdkBuilder.build().getOpenTelemetrySdk();With Explicit Connection String
AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdkBuilder sdkBuilder = AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdk.builder();
AzureMonitorExporter.customize(sdkBuilder, "{connection-string}");
OpenTelemetry openTelemetry = sdkBuilder.build().getOpenTelemetrySdk();Creating Spans
import io.opentelemetry.api.trace.Tracer;
import io.opentelemetry.api.trace.Span;
import io.opentelemetry.context.Scope;
// Get tracer
Tracer tracer = openTelemetry.getTracer("com.example.myapp");

try (Scope scope = span.makeCurrent()) {
// Your application logic
doWork();
} catch (Throwable t) {
span.recordException(t);
throw t;

}Adding Span Attributes
import io.opentelemetry.api.common.AttributeKey;
import io.opentelemetry.api.common.Attributes;
Span span = tracer.spanBuilder("processOrder")
.setAttribute("order.id", "12345")

try (Scope scope = span.makeCurrent()) {
// Add attributes during execution
span.setAttribute("items.count", 3);
span.setAttribute("total.amount", 99.99);
processOrder();
} finally {
span.end();
}Custom Span Processor
import io.opentelemetry.sdk.trace.SpanProcessor;
import io.opentelemetry.sdk.trace.ReadWriteSpan;
import io.opentelemetry.sdk.trace.ReadableSpan;
import io.opentelemetry.context.Context;
private static final AttributeKey<String> CUSTOM_ATTR = AttributeKey.stringKey("custom.attribute");
SpanProcessor customProcessor = new SpanProcessor() {
@Override
public void onStart(Context context, ReadWriteSpan span) {
// Add custom attribute to every span
span.setAttribute(CUSTOM_ATTR, "customValue");
}
@Override
public boolean isStartRequired() {
return true;
}
@Override
public void onEnd(ReadableSpan span) {
// Post-processing if needed
}
@Override
public boolean isEndRequired() {
return false;
}

// Register processor
