SemanticAttributes

✓ from opentelemetry.semantic_attributes import SemanticAttributes

✗ from opentelemetry.semantic_attributes import SemanticAttributes

This quickstart demonstrates how to utilize SemanticAttributes for telemetry data.

import os # Example usage of SemanticAttributes attribute_key = 'http.method' attribute_value = 'GET' if os.environ.get('OTEL_KEY', ''): print(f'Setting attribute: {attribute_key} = {attribute_value}') else: print('OTEL_KEY not found!')

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe behavior of `start_span` and `start_as_current_span` was updated to propagate span contexts differently.

fix

Update your usage of these methods according to the new behavior.

affects: >=1.40.0

deprecatedThe `LoggingHandler` from opentelemetry-sdk is deprecated.

fix

Use `opentelemetry-instrumentation-logging` instead.

affects: <1.40.0

gotchaThe application failed because the 'OTEL_KEY' environment variable was not found. This key is typically required for authentication or configuration of the OpenTelemetry collector/exporter.

fix

Ensure the 'OTEL_KEY' environment variable is correctly set in the deployment environment.

affects: All versions where 'OTEL_KEY' is expected

gotchaA required environment variable or configuration key named `OTEL_KEY` was not found. This key is often used for API authentication or exporter configuration.

fix

Ensure the `OTEL_KEY` environment variable is set in your environment or that the equivalent configuration (e.g., an API key within your application's OpenTelemetry setup) is properly provided.
