The C++ OpenTelemetry client.
| Signal | Status | Project |
|---|---|---|
| Traces | Public Release | N/A |
| Metrics | Public Release | N/A |
| Logs | Experimental [1] | Release Milestone |
- [1]: The current Log Signal Implementation is Experimental, and will change as
the current OpenTelemetry Log specification matures. The current
implementation can be included in build by setting
ENABLE_LOGS_PREVIEWpreprocessor macro.
Code shipped from this repository generally supports the following versions of C++ standards:
- ISO/IEC 14882:2011 (C++11, C++0x)
- ISO/IEC 14882:2014 (C++14, C++1y)
- ISO/IEC 14882:2017 (C++17, C++1z)
- ISO/IEC 14882:2020 (C++20)
Any exceptions to this are noted in the individual README.md files.
Please note that supporting the C Programming Language is not a goal of the current project.
Our CI pipeline builds and tests on following x86-64 platforms:
| Platform | Build type |
|---|---|
| ubuntu-22.04 (GCC - 10, 12) | CMake, Bazel |
| ubuntu-20.04 (GCC 4.8 with -std=c++11 flag) | CMake [1] |
| ubuntu-20.04 (GCC 9.4.0) | CMake, Bazel |
| ubuntu-20.04 (Default GCC Compiler - 9.4.0 with -std=c++20 flags) | CMake, Bazel |
| macOS 12.0 (Xcode 14.2) | Bazel |
| Windows Server 2019 (Visual Studio Enterprise 2019) | CMake, Bazel |
| Windows Server 2022 (Visual Studio Enterprise 2022) | CMake |
[1]: Bazel build is disabled for GCC 4.8, as gRPC library 1.38 and above (required by OTLP exporter) don't build with this compiler. See gRPC official support document. CMake build doesn't build OTLP exporter with GCC 4.8.
In general, the code shipped from this repository should build on all platforms having C++ compiler with supported C++ standards.

Please refer to INSTALL.md.
As an application owner or the library author, you can find the getting started guide and reference documentation on opentelemetry-cpp.readthedocs.io
The examples/simple directory contains a minimal program demonstrating how to
instrument a small library using a simple processor and console exporter,
along with build files for CMake and Bazel.
