OpenTelemetry Logs SDK

Warning

OpenTelemetry Python logs are in an experimental state. The APIs within opentelemetry.sdk._logs are subject to change in minor/patch releases and make no backward compatibility guarantees at this time.

Start the Collector locally to see data being exported. Write the following file:

# otel-collector-config.yaml
receivers:
otlp:
    protocols:
    grpc:

exporters:
logging:

processors:
batch:

service:
    pipelines:
        logs:
            receivers: [otlp]
            exporters: [logging]

Then start the Docker container:

docker run \
    -p 4317:4317 \
    -v $(pwd)/otel-collector-config.yaml:/etc/otelcol-contrib/config.yaml \
    otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:latest

$ python example.py

The resulting logs will appear in the output from the collector and look similar to this:
