feat(otel): respect standard OTel env vars for exporter selection by codefromthecrypt · Pull Request #7144 · block/goose

codefromthecrypt · 2026-02-11T09:22:57Z

Summary

Respect standard OpenTelemetry environment variables for per-signal exporter selection (OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER, OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER, OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER, OTEL_SDK_DISABLED) and signal-specific endpoints (OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_{SIGNAL}_ENDPOINT). Supports otlp, console, and none exporter types.

New otel module (crates/goose/src/otel/) — OTel code moves out of tracing/ since it covers traces, metrics, and logs
otel::otlp exposes signal_exporter(signal) that checks env vars in priority order: SDK disabled → per-signal exporter → signal-specific endpoint → generic endpoint
init_otlp_layers(&Config) replaces duplicated setup in CLI and server — creates all signal layers, promotes config to env, and sets propagation in one call
promote_config_to_env takes &Config instead of reading Config::global(), making it testable with temp config files
Server now calls shutdown_otlp() on graceful shutdown (CLI already did)
Propagation (TraceContextPropagator) only set when at least one OTLP layer initializes
Documentation updated with per-signal pattern and examples

Console exporter

All three signals (logs, traces, metrics) show the overridden service.name=mygoose and deployment.environment=staging:

OTLP exporter with otel-tui

In one terminal, start otel-tui (listens on localhost:4317 gRPC and localhost:4318 HTTP by default):

otel-tui

In another terminal, run goose with the OTLP endpoint:

OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4318 ./target/release/goose run -t "hello"

Example screenshots, note the lack of root span is something to fix in another PR and was the case in main:

Pull request overview

This PR updates goose’s OpenTelemetry integration to respect standard OTel environment variables for per-signal exporter selection (traces/metrics/logs) with config-file fallback, adds a console exporter for local debugging, and improves provider shutdown behavior.

Changes:

Added otel_config module to detect OTel signal/exporter configuration via env vars with config fallback.
Reworked OTLP layer initialization to create traces/metrics/logs pipelines independently and support otlp|console|none.
Updated CLI/server logging to wire the new propagation init + per-signal layer setup and improved shutdown behavior.

updating to latest otel and the copilot feedback broke http export which is different recently. will pull out of draft when I figure it out.

OTel seems the way to go to me, and this looks like a great simple start

+Configure goose to export traces, metrics, and logs to any
+[OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/) compatible platform.
+When configured, goose exports telemetry asynchronously and flushes on exit.


This PR updates public documentation alongside feature code; if these docs are intended for a future release, they should be separated or otherwise marked so unreleased behavior isn’t documented in published guides.

this PR contains already released features/functionality?

documentation/docs/guides/config-files.md

Support OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER, OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER, OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER and OTEL_SDK_DISABLED environment variables. Add console exporter for local debugging alongside the existing OTLP exporter. Each signal (traces, metrics, logs) now initializes independently so one failing doesn't block the others. Shutdown properly flushes all three providers instead of sleeping.

seems ok and cross checked it with internal deployment that uses it

codefromthecrypt · 2026-02-13T03:00:07Z

@blackgirlbytes since this updates docs, this needs an approve to merge. mind giving a look?

blackgirlbytes · 2026-02-13T18:09:19Z

@codefromthecrypt I gave this a comment a few days ago but think it got missed. My team prefers you remove the docs, and we will add it back later. Just because the functionality wont be immediately available to everyone! thanks

Note: I removed the hard-coded 10pct sampling in this change. As @michaelneale noticed it might not be obvious which otel ENV do the same. I updated #7221 with an example to set 10pct, and the same style can apply any rate
