Configure OpenTelemetry

Overview

Formance uses OpenTelemetry to collect and send telemetry data to your monitoring system. OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework for cloud-native software. It provides a single set of APIs, libraries, agents, and instrumentation to capture distributed traces and metrics from your applications.

This guide assumes that you already have an OpenTelemetry server running and that you have the necessary credentials to connect to it.
