What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of adding distributed tracing and observability to Node.js/TypeScript applications, making it easier to monitor performance and debug issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automated Instrumentation: Easily integrate OpenTelemetry with minimal code changes using getNodeAutoInstrumentations.
Manual Instrumentation: Provides patterns for instrumenting HTTP servers (Express), HTTP client calls, database operations, and custom business logic.
Best Practices: Guides users on when to instrument, semantic conventions, and handling sensitive data.
Use Case: Instrument an Express.js API to automatically trace incoming requests, outgoing database queries, and external API calls, sending trace data to a backend like Jaeger or Grafana Tempo.

Quick Start

Use the opentelemetry-instrumentation skill to automatically instrument an Express.js application with OpenTelemetry.
