OTLPExporter

✓ from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.exporter import OTLPExporter

✗ from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.exporter import OTLPExporter

A simple example of using the OTLP exporter to start a span.

import os from opentelemetry import trace from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc import OTLPExporter exporter = OTLPExporter(endpoint=os.environ.get('OTLP_ENDPOINT', 'localhost:4317')) tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__) with tracer.start_as_current_span('example-span'): print('This is a traced span')

Debug

Known issues

breakingInvalid span will no longer be returned in NoOpTracer methods.

fix

Ensure that the current span context is properly propagated.

affects: >=1.40.0

deprecatedLoggingHandler in opentelemetry-sdk is deprecated.

fix

Use opentelemetry-instrumentation-logging instead.

affects: <1.40.0

breakingThe class 'OTLPExporter' has been removed or renamed within the 'opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc' module and is no longer directly importable.

fix

Use 'OTLPSpanExporter' for traces or 'OTLPMetricExporter' for metrics. The import path has also changed; for example, use 'from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter' for traces or 'from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.metric_exporter import OTLPMetricExporter' for metrics.

affects: opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc>=1.16.0

breakingThe `OTLPExporter` class is no longer available directly under `opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc` due to package restructuring.

fix

Update the import statement. For general OTLP/gRPC export, import `OTLPGRPCExporter` from `opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.exporter`. For trace exporting, import `OTLPTraceExporter` from `opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.trace_exporter`. For metric exporting, import `OTLPMetricExporter` from `opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.metric_exporter`.

affects: opentelemetry-exporter-otlp>=1.17.0
