About:
OpenTelemetry C++ is the official C++ implementation of the OpenTelemetry observability framework. It provides a vendor-neutral set of APIs, SDKs, and tools for instrumenting, generating, collecting, and exporting telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs. This formula enables developers to easily integrate robust observability into their C++ applications for performance monitoring and diagnostics.
Key Features:
  • Vendor-neutral APIs for traces, metrics, and logs
  • Pluggable SDK architecture for exporters and processors
  • Supports major C++ standards and platforms
  • Integration with popular backends like Jaeger and Prometheus
Use Cases:
  • Distributed tracing for microservices and cloud-native applications
  • Performance monitoring and bottleneck analysis in C++ code
  • Centralized logging and metrics collection for observability pipelines
Alternatives:
  • Jaeger Client C++ – Jaeger is specific to its tracing backend, while OpenTelemetry is a broader, vendor-neutral standard.
  • Prometheus C++ Client – Prometheus client focuses only on metrics, whereas OpenTelemetry provides a unified framework for traces, metrics, and logs.
