Application Instrumentation

Instrument with OpenTelemetry

To use Observe APM, you’ll need to instrument your application code with OpenTelemetry.

Step 1: install the Observe agent in your environment.

Step 2: add OpenTelemetry instrumentation libraries to your application. Observe provides documentation on how to add OpenTelemetry instrumentation for the following languages and runtimes:

java.html

dotnet.html

nodejs.html

python.html

ruby.html

For other languages, you can use the OpenTelemetry documentation for how to instrument your application code:
