Definition

OTEL, short for OpenTelemetry, is an open-source observability framework designed to provide standardized telemetry data collection, processing, and exportation across distributed systems. It supports a wide range of programming languages and frameworks, enabling developers to instrument their applications for metrics, logs, and traces. OpenTelemetry aims to simplify the integration of observability into applications, promoting better monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.
