OpenTelemetry Integration¶

ultilog provides optional OpenTelemetry integration for traces, logs, and metrics when the otel extra is installed.

Install¶

pip install "ultilog[otel]"

Traces¶

Configure a TracerProvider with sensible defaults:

from ultilog.otel.traces import configure_otel_traces

provider = configure_otel_traces(service_name="my-api")

With an OTLP endpoint:

provider = configure_otel_traces(
    service_name="my-api",
    endpoint="http://localhost:4317",
)

When no endpoint is specified, traces are exported to the console for local development.

Logs¶

Forward stdlib log records to the OTel log pipeline:

from ultilog.otel.logs import configure_otel_logs

provider = configure_otel_logs(service_name="my-api")

This installs an OTel LoggingHandler on the root logger (or a named logger):

configure_otel_logs(
    service_name="my-api",
    logger_name="my.app",
    endpoint="http://localhost:4317",
)

Metrics¶

Configure a MeterProvider:

from ultilog.otel.metrics import configure_otel_metrics

provider = configure_otel_metrics(service_name="my-api")

All-in-one setup¶

Configure multiple signals at once using OTelSettings:

from ultilog.otel.exporters import configure_exporters
from ultilog.models.otel import OTelSettings

providers = configure_exporters(OTelSettings(
    enabled=True,
    service_name="my-api",
    endpoint="http://localhost:4317",
    traces_enabled=True,
    logs_enabled=True,
    metrics_enabled=True,
))

Trace/log correlation¶

The TraceCorrelationFilter adds trace_id and span_id to log records when an active OTel span exists:

from ultilog.otel.correlation import TraceCorrelationFilter

handler.addFilter(TraceCorrelationFilter())
# Log records now have trace_id and span_id attributes

Context propagation¶

Set up W3C TraceContext and Baggage propagation:

from ultilog.otel.propagation import configure_otel_propagation

configure_otel_propagation()

Availability check¶

from ultilog.otel.availability import otel_available

if otel_available():
    configure_otel_traces(service_name="my-api")
