OpenTelemetry logging

Overview

ShareAspace offers an OpenTelemetry (OTel) logging capability. It allows the Service Host and all the associated extensions to stream logs, traces, and metrics (collectively referred to as signals) to a compatible system. Three main options are offered:

  • ShareAspace OpenTelemetry collector. It is offered as a single MSI and will write OpenTelemetry signals into text files following the OpenTelemetry Protocol File format. Follow OpenTelemetry collector guide first to install the component, then follow the standard OpenTelemetry logging setup.
  • Azure Monitor (also known as Azure Application Insights). The signals are collected and sent to Azure using Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Distro.
  • Any conformant system supporting OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP) over gRPC or HTTP/Protobuf.
