MySQL 8.3 Reference Manual  /  Telemetry

Chapter 35 Telemetry

The OpenTelemetry (OTel) project is an open-source, vendor-neutral observability framework, providing a common observability standard. It enables users to instrument their applications in order to export observability data: traces, metrics and logs, enabling increased granularity of debugging and testing.

Note

This chapter assumes familiarity with the OpenTelemetry Documentation.

Note

The MySQL telemetry component is available as part of MySQL Enterprise only, including the MySQL HeatWave cloud service.
