1//! # OpenTelemetry OTLP Exporter
2//!
3//! The OTLP Exporter enables exporting telemetry data (logs, metrics, and traces) in the
4//! OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) format to compatible backends. These backends include:
5//!
6//! - OpenTelemetry Collector
7//! - Open-source observability tools (Prometheus, Jaeger, etc.)
8//! - Vendor-specific monitoring platforms
9//!
10//! This crate supports sending OTLP data via:
11//! - gRPC
12//! - HTTP (binary protobuf or JSON)
13//!
14//! ## Quickstart with OpenTelemetry Collector
15//!
16//! ### HTTP Transport (Port 4318)
17//!
18//! Run the OpenTelemetry Collector:
19//!
20//! ```shell
21//! $ docker run -p 4318:4318 otel/opentelemetry-collector:latest
22//! ```
23//!
24//! Configure your application to export traces via HTTP:
25//!
26//! ```no_run
27//! # #[cfg(all(feature = "trace", feature = "http-proto"))]
28//! # {
29//! use opentelemetry::global;
30//! use opentelemetry::trace::Tracer;
31//! use opentelemetry_otlp::Protocol;
32//! use opentelemetry_otlp::WithExportConfig;
33//!
34//! fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>> {
35//!     // Initialize OTLP exporter using HTTP binary protocol
36//!     let otlp_exporter = opentelemetry_otlp::SpanExporter::builder()
37//!         .with_http()
38//!         .with_protocol(Protocol::HttpBinary)
39//!         .build()?;
40//!
41//!     // Create a tracer provider with the exporter
42//!     let tracer_provider = opentelemetry_sdk::trace::SdkTracerProvider::builder()
43//!         .with_batch_exporter(otlp_exporter)
44//!         .build();
45//!
46//!     // Set it as the global provider
47//!     global::set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider);
48//!
49//!     // Get a tracer and create spans
50//!     let tracer = global::tracer("my_tracer");
51//!     tracer.in_span("doing_work", |_cx| {
52//!         // Your application logic here...
53//!     });
54//!
55//!     Ok(())
56//! # }
57//! }
58//! ```
59//!
60//! ### gRPC Transport (Port 4317)
61//!
62//! Run the OpenTelemetry Collector:
63//!
64//! ```shell
65//! $ docker run -p 4317:4317 otel/opentelemetry-collector:latest
66//! ```
67//!
68//! Configure your application to export traces via gRPC (the tonic client requires a Tokio runtime):
69//!
70//! - With `[tokio::main]`
71//!
72//! ```no_run
73//! # #[cfg(all(feature = "trace", feature = "grpc-tonic"))]
74//! # {
75//! use opentelemetry::{global, trace::Tracer};
76//!
77//! #[tokio::main]
78//! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>> {
79//!     // Initialize OTLP exporter using gRPC (Tonic)
80//!     let otlp_exporter = opentelemetry_otlp::SpanExporter::builder()
81//!         .with_tonic()
82//!         .build()?;
83//!
84//!     // Create a tracer provider with the exporter
85//!     let tracer_provider = opentelemetry_sdk::trace::SdkTracerProvider::builder()
86//!         .with_batch_exporter(otlp_exporter)
87//!         .build();
88//!
89//!     // Set it as the global provider
90//!     global::set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider);
91//!
92//!     // Get a tracer and create spans
93//!     let tracer = global::tracer("my_tracer");
94//!     tracer.in_span("doing_work", |_cx| {
95//!         // Your application logic here...
96//!     });
97//!
98//!     Ok(())
99//! # }
100//! }
101//! ```
102//!
103//! - Without `[tokio::main]`
104//!
105//!  ```no_run
106//! # #[cfg(all(feature = "trace", feature = "grpc-tonic"))]
107//! # {
108//! use opentelemetry::{global, trace::Tracer};
109//!
110//! fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>> {
111//!     // Initialize OTLP exporter using gRPC (Tonic)
112//!     let rt = tokio::runtime::Runtime::new()?;
113//!     let tracer_provider = rt.block_on(async {
114//!         let exporter = opentelemetry_otlp::SpanExporter::builder()
115//!             .with_tonic()
116//!             .build()
117//!             .expect("Failed to create span exporter");
118//!         opentelemetry_sdk::trace::SdkTracerProvider::builder()
119//!             .with_batch_exporter(exporter)
120//!             .build()
121//!     });
122//!
123//!     // Set it as the global provider
124//!     global::set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider);
125//!
126//!     // Get a tracer and create spans
127//!     let tracer = global::tracer("my_tracer");
128//!     tracer.in_span("doing_work", |_cx| {
129//!         // Your application logic here...
130//!     });
131//!
132//!     // Ensure the runtime (`rt`) remains active until the program ends
133//!     Ok(())
134//! # }
135//! }
136//! ```
137//!
138//! ## Using with Jaeger
139//!
140//! Jaeger natively supports the OTLP protocol, making it easy to send traces directly:
141//!
142//! ```shell
143//! $ docker run -p 16686:16686 -p 4317:4317 -e COLLECTOR_OTLP_ENABLED=true jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
144//! ```
145//!
146//! After running your application configured with the OTLP exporter, view traces at:
147//! `http://localhost:16686`
148//!
149//! ## Using with Prometheus
150//!
151//! Prometheus natively supports accepting metrics via the OTLP protocol
152//! (HTTP/protobuf). You can [run
153//! Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/installation/) with
154//! the following command:
155//!
156//! ```shell
157//! docker run -p 9090:9090 -v ./prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml prom/prometheus --config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml --web.enable-otlp-receiver
158//! ```
159//!
160//! (An empty prometheus.yml file is sufficient for this example.)
161//!
162//! Modify your application to export metrics via OTLP:
163//!
164//! ```no_run
165//! # #[cfg(all(feature = "metrics", feature = "http-proto"))]
166//! # {
167//! use opentelemetry::global;
168//! use opentelemetry::metrics::Meter;
169//! use opentelemetry::KeyValue;
170//! use opentelemetry_otlp::Protocol;
171//! use opentelemetry_otlp::WithExportConfig;
172//!
173//! fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>> {
174//!     // Initialize OTLP exporter using HTTP binary protocol
175//!     let exporter = opentelemetry_otlp::MetricExporter::builder()
176//!         .with_http()
177//!         .with_protocol(Protocol::HttpBinary)
178//!         .with_endpoint("http://localhost:9090/api/v1/otlp/v1/metrics")
179//!         .build()?;
180//!
181//!     // Create a meter provider with the OTLP Metric exporter
182//!     let meter_provider = opentelemetry_sdk::metrics::SdkMeterProvider::builder()
183//!         .with_periodic_exporter(exporter)
184//!         .build();
185//!     global::set_meter_provider(meter_provider.clone());
186//!
187//!     // Get a meter
188//!     let meter = global::meter("my_meter");
189//!
190//!     // Create a metric
191//!     let counter = meter.u64_counter("my_counter").build();
192//!     counter.add(1, &[KeyValue::new("key", "value")]);
193//!
194//!     // Shutdown the meter provider. This will trigger an export of all metrics.
195//!     meter_provider.shutdown()?;
196//!
197//!     Ok(())
198//! # }
199//! }
200//! ```
201//!
202//! After running your application configured with the OTLP exporter, view metrics at:
203//! `http://localhost:9090`

207//!
208//! # Feature Flags
209//! The following feature flags can enable exporters for different telemetry signals:
210//!
211//! * `trace`: Includes the trace exporters.
212//! * `metrics`: Includes the metrics exporters.
213//! * `logs`: Includes the logs exporters.
214//!
215//! The following feature flags generate additional code and types:
216//! * `serialize`: Enables serialization support for type defined in this crate via `serde`.
217//!
218//! The following feature flags offer additional configurations on gRPC:
219//!
220//! For users using `tonic` as grpc layer:
221//! * `grpc-tonic`: Use `tonic` as grpc layer.
222//! * `gzip-tonic`: Use gzip compression for `tonic` grpc layer.
223//! * `zstd-tonic`: Use zstd compression for `tonic` grpc layer.
224//! * `tls`: Enable rustls TLS support using ring for `tonic` (default TLS feature).
225//! * `tls-ring`: Enable rustls TLS support using ring for `tonic`.
226//! * `tls-aws-lc`: Enable rustls TLS support using aws-lc for `tonic`.
227//! * `tls-provider-agnostic`: Provider-agnostic TLS — enables TLS code paths without bundling a specific
228//!   crypto provider. Use this when you install a `CryptoProvider` globally
229//!   (e.g., via `rustls-openssl` for FIPS/OpenSSL environments).
230//! * `tls-roots`: Adds system trust roots to rustls-based gRPC clients using the rustls-native-certs crate
231//! * `tls-webpki-roots`: Embeds Mozilla's trust roots to rustls-based gRPC clients using the webpki-roots crate
232//!
233//! The following feature flags offer additional configurations on http:
234//!
235//! * `http-proto`: Use http as transport layer, protobuf as body format. This feature is enabled by default.
236//! * `gzip-http`: Use gzip compression for HTTP transport.
237//! * `zstd-http`: Use zstd compression for HTTP transport.
238//! * `reqwest-blocking-client`: Use reqwest blocking http client. This feature is enabled by default.
239//! * `reqwest-client`: Use reqwest http client.
240//! * `reqwest-rustls`: Use reqwest with TLS with system trust roots via `rustls-native-certs` crate.
241//! * `reqwest-rustls-webpki-roots`: Use reqwest with TLS with Mozilla's trust roots via `webpki-roots` crate.
242//!
243//! # Kitchen Sink Full Configuration
244//!
245//! Example showing how to override all configuration options.
246//!
247//! Generally there are two parts of configuration. One is the exporter, the other is the provider.
248//! Users can configure the exporter using [SpanExporter::builder()] for traces,
249//! and [MetricExporter::builder()] + [opentelemetry_sdk::metrics::PeriodicReader::builder()] for metrics.
250//! Once you have an exporter, you can add it to either a [opentelemetry_sdk::trace::SdkTracerProvider::builder()] for traces,
251//! or [opentelemetry_sdk::metrics::SdkMeterProvider::builder()] for metrics.
252//!
