Trace Exporter
from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter
# Create exporter
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
connection_string="InstrumentationKey=xxx;..."
)
# Configure tracer provider
trace.set_tracer_provider(TracerProvider())
trace.get_tracer_provider().add_span_processor(
BatchSpanProcessor(exporter)
)
# Use tracer
tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)
with tracer.start_as_current_span("my-span"):
print("Hello, World!")Metric Exporter
from opentelemetry import metrics
from opentelemetry.sdk.metrics import MeterProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.metrics.export import PeriodicExportingMetricReader
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorMetricExporter
# Create exporter
exporter = AzureMonitorMetricExporter(
connection_string="InstrumentationKey=xxx;..."
)
# Configure meter provider
reader = PeriodicExportingMetricReader(exporter, export_interval_millis=60000)
metrics.set_meter_provider(MeterProvider(metric_readers=[reader]))
# Use meter
meter = metrics.get_meter(__name__)
counter = meter.create_counter("requests_total")
counter.add(1, {"route": "/api/users"})Log Exporter
import logging
from opentelemetry._logs import set_logger_provider
from opentelemetry.sdk._logs import LoggerProvider, LoggingHandler
from opentelemetry.sdk._logs.export import BatchLogRecordProcessor
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorLogExporter
# Create exporter
exporter = AzureMonitorLogExporter(
connection_string="InstrumentationKey=xxx;..."
)
# Configure logger provider
logger_provider = LoggerProvider()
logger_provider.add_log_record_processor(BatchLogRecordProcessor(exporter))
set_logger_provider(logger_provider)
# Add handler to Python logging
handler = LoggingHandler(level=logging.INFO, logger_provider=logger_provider)
logging.getLogger().addHandler(handler)
# Use logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.info("This will be sent to Application Insights")From Environment Variable
Exporters read `APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING` automatically:
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter
# Connection string from environment
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter()Azure AD Authentication
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)Sampling
Use `ApplicationInsightsSampler` for consistent sampling:
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.sampling import ParentBasedTraceIdRatio
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import ApplicationInsightsSampler
# Sample 10% of traces
sampler = ApplicationInsightsSampler(sampling_ratio=0.1)
trace.set_tracer_provider(TracerProvider(sampler=sampler))Offline Storage
Configure offline storage for retry:
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExp🎯 Best For
