OpenTelemetry Java Contrib

This project is intended to provide helpful libraries and standalone OpenTelemetry-based utilities that don't fit the express scope of the OpenTelemetry Java or Java Instrumentation projects. If you need an easier way to bring observability to remote JVM-based applications and workflows that isn't easily satisfied by an SDK feature or via instrumentation, this project is hopefully for you.

Provided Libraries

• AWS X-Ray Support
• Consistent sampling
• JFR Streaming
• JMX Metric Gatherer
• OpenTelemetry Maven Extension
• Runtime Attach
• Samplers

Getting Started

Contributing

The Java Contrib project was initially formed to provide methods of easy remote JMX metric gathering and reporting, which is actively in development. If you have an idea for a similar use case in the metrics, traces, or logging domain we would be very interested in supporting it. Please open an issue to share your idea or suggestion. PRs are always welcome and greatly appreciated, but for larger functional changes a pre-coding introduction can be helpful to ensure this is the correct place and that active or conflicting efforts don't exist.
