 ## View a trace of a Porter command
 
-Porter has an experimental feature, structured-logs, that sends trace data about the commands run to an OpenTelemetry backend.
+Porter can send trace data about the commands run to an OpenTelemetry backend.
 It can be very helpful when figuring out why a command failed because you can see the values of variables and stack traces.
 
 In development, you can use the [otel-jaeger bundle] to set up a development instance of Jaeger, which gives you a nice website to see each command run.
