The subpackages of 17 the otel package provide an implementation of the OpenTelemetry API. 18 19 The provided API is used to instrument code and measure data about that code's 20 performance and operation. The measured data, by default, is not processed or 21 transmitted anywhere. An implementation of the OpenTelemetry SDK, like the 22 default SDK implementation (go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk), and associated 23 exporters are used to process and transport this data. 24 25 To read the getting started guide, see https://opentelemetry.io/docs/go/getting-started/. 26 27 To read more about tracing, see go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace. 28 29 To read more about metrics, see go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric. 30 31 To read more about propagation, see go.opentelemetry.io/otel/propagation and 32 go.opentelemetry.io/otel/baggage. 33 */ 34 package otel // import "go.opentelemetry.io/otel" 35
