+title: OpenTelemetry Provider
+description: This task shows you how to configure Envoy proxies to print access logs with OpenTelemetry Provider.
+weight: 10
+keywords: [telemetry,logs]
+aliases:

+
+After completing this task, you understand how to have your application participate in [Envoy's access logging](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/observability/access_log/usage) with [OpenTelemetry (gRPC) Access Log](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/extensions/access_loggers/open_telemetry/v3/logs_service.proto).
+Envoy proxies send access information to [otel-collector](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector)'s standard output.
+The standard output of otel-collector's containers can then be printed by the `kubectl logs` command.
+
+{{< boilerplate before-you-begin-egress >}}
+
+{{< boilerplate start-httpbin-service >}}
+
+{{< boilerplate start-otel-collector-service >}}
+
+## Enable Envoy's access logging
+
+Istio offers a few ways to enable access logs. Use of the Telemetry API is recommended
+
+### Using Telemetry API
+
+The Telemetry API can be used to enable or disable access logs:
+
+Run the following script to edit the `MeshConfig`, update the YAML files to add `otel` provider.
+
+{{< text bash >}}
+$ cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -n istio-system -f -
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: istio
+  namespace: istio-system
+data:
+  mesh: |-
+    accessLogFile: /dev/stdout
+    defaultConfig:
+      discoveryAddress: istiod.istio-system.svc:15012
+      proxyMetadata: {}
+      tracing:
+        zipkin:
+          address: zipkin.istio-system:9411
+    enablePrometheusMerge: true
+    extensionProviders:
+    - name: otel
+      envoyOtelAls:
+        service: otel-collector.istio-system.svc.cluster.local
+        port: 4317
+    rootNamespace: istio-system
+    trustDomain: cluster.local
+  meshNetworks: 'networks: {}'
+EOF
+{{< /text >}}
+
+{{< text bash >}}
+$ cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -n istio-system -f -
+apiVersion: telemetry.istio.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Telemetry
+metadata:
+  name: mesh-default
+  namespace: istio-system
+spec:
+  accessLogging:
+    - providers:
+      - name: otel
+EOF      
+{{< /text >}}
+
+The above example uses the `otel` access log provider, and we do not configure anything other than default settings.
+
+Similar configuration can also be applied on an individual namespace, or to an individual workload, to control logging at a fine grained level.
+
+For more information about using the Telemetry API, see the [Telemetry API overview](/docs/tasks/observability/telemetry/).
+
+### Using Mesh Config
+
+If you used an `IstioOperator` CR to install Istio, add the following field to your configuration:
+
+{{< text yaml >}}
+spec:
+  meshConfig:
+    accessLogFile: /dev/stdout
+    extensionProviders:
+    - name: otel
+      envoyOtelAls:
+        service: otel-collector.istio-system.svc.cluster.local
+        port: 4317
+    defaultProviders:
+      accessLogging:
+      - envoy
+      - otel
+{{< /text >}}
+
+Otherwise, add the equivalent setting to your original `istioctl install` command, for example:
+
+{{< text syntax=bash snip_id=none >}}
+$ istioctl install -f <your-istio-operator-config-file>
+{{< /text >}}
+
+## Default access log format
+
+Istio will use the following default access log format if `accessLogFormat` is not specified:
+
+{{< text plain >}}
+[%START_TIME%] \"%REQ(:METHOD)% %REQ(X-ENVOY-ORIGINAL-PATH?:PATH)% %PROTOCOL%\" %RESPONSE_CODE% %RESPONSE_FLAGS% %RESPONSE_CODE_DETAILS% %CONNECTION_TERMINATION_DETAILS%
+\"%UPSTREAM_TRANSPORT_FAILURE_REASON%\" %BYTES_RECEIVED% %BYTES_SENT% %DURATION% %RESP(X-ENVOY-UPSTREAM-SERVICE-TIME)% \"%REQ(X-FORWARDED-FOR)%\" \"%REQ(USER-AGENT)%\" \"%REQ(X-REQUEST-ID)%\"
+\"%REQ(:AUTHORITY)%\" \"%UPSTREAM_HOST%\" %UPSTREAM_CLUSTER% %UPSTREAM_LOCAL_ADDRESS% %DOWNSTREAM_LOCAL_ADDRESS% %DOWNSTREAM_REMOTE_ADDRESS% %REQUESTED_SERVER_NAME% %ROUTE_NAME%\n
+{{< /text >}}
+
+The following table shows an example using the default access log format for a request sent from `sleep` to `httpbin`:
+
+| Log operator | access log in sleep | access log in httpbin |
+|--------------|---------------------|-----------------------|
+| `[%START_TIME%]` | `[2020-11-25T21:26:18.409Z]` | `[2020-11-25T21:26:18.409Z]`

+| `%RESPONSE_CODE%` | `418` | `418`
+| `%RESPONSE_FLAGS%` | `-` | `-`
+| `%RESPONSE_CODE_DETAILS%` | `via_upstream` | `via_upstream`
+| `%CONNECTION_TERMINATION_DETAILS%` | `-` | `-`
+| `\"%UPSTREAM_TRANSPORT_FAILURE_REASON%\"` | `"-"` | `"-"`
+| `%BYTES_RECEIVED%` | `0` | `0`
+| `%BYTES_SENT%` | `135` | `135`
+| `%DURATION%` | `4` | `3`
+| `%RESP(X-ENVOY-UPSTREAM-SERVICE-TIME)%` | `4` | `1`
+| `\"%REQ(X-FORWARDED-FOR)%\"` | `"-"` | `"-"`
+| `\"%REQ(USER-AGENT)%\"` | `"curl/7.73.0-DEV"` | `"curl/7.73.0-DEV"`

+| `\"%REQ(:AUTHORITY)%\"` | `"httpbin:8000"` | `"httpbin:8000"`
+| `\"%UPSTREAM_HOST%\"` | `"10.44.1.27:80"` | `"127.0.0.1:80"`
+| `%UPSTREAM_CLUSTER%` | <code>outbound&#124;8000&#124;&#124;httpbin.foo.svc.cluster.local</code> | <code>inbound&#124;8000&#124;&#124;</code>
+| `%UPSTREAM_LOCAL_ADDRESS%` | `10.44.1.23:37652` | `127.0.0.1:41854`
+| `%DOWNSTREAM_LOCAL_ADDRESS%` | `10.0.45.184:8000` | `10.44.1.27:80`
+| `%DOWNSTREAM_REMOTE_ADDRESS%` | `10.44.1.23:46520` | `10.44.1.23:37652`
+| `%REQUESTED_SERVER_NAME%` | `-` | `outbound_.8000_._.httpbin.foo.svc.cluster.local`
+| `%ROUTE_NAME%` | `default` | `default`
+
+## Test the access log
+
+1.  Send a request from `sleep` to `httpbin`:
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ kubectl exec "$SOURCE_POD" -c sleep -- curl -sS -v httpbin:8000/status/418
+    ...
+    < HTTP/1.1 418 Unknown
+    < server: envoy
+    ...
+        -=[ teapot ]=-
+
+           _...._
+         .'  _ _ `.
+        | ."` ^ `". _,
+        \_;`"---"`|//
+          |       ;/
+          \_     _/
+            `"""`
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+1.  Check `otel-collector`'s log:
+
+    {{< text bash >}}
+    $ kubectl logs -l app=otel-collector -n istio-system
+    [2020-11-25T21:26:18.409Z] "GET /status/418 HTTP/1.1" 418 - via_upstream - "-" 0 135 3 1 "-" "curl/7.73.0-DEV" "84961386-6d84-929d-98bd-c5aee93b5c88" "httpbin:8000" "127.0.0.1:80" inbound|8000|| 127.0.0.1:41854 10.44.1.27:80 10.44.1.23:37652 outbound_.8000_._.httpbin.foo.svc.cluster.local default
+    {{< /text >}}
+
+Note that the messages corresponding to the request appear in logs of the Istio proxies of both the source and the destination, `sleep` and `httpbin`, respectively. You can see in the log the HTTP verb (`GET`), the HTTP path (`/status/418`), the response code (`418`) and other [request-related information](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/observability/access_log/usage#format-rules).
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Shutdown the [sleep]({{< github_tree >}}/samples/sleep) and [httpbin]({{< github_tree >}}/samples/httpbin) services:
+
+{{< text bash >}}
+$ kubectl delete -f @samples/sleep/sleep.yaml@
+$ kubectl delete -f @samples/httpbin/httpbin.yaml@
+$ kubectl delete -f @samples/open-telemetry/otel.yaml@
+{{< /text >}}
+
+### Disable Envoy's access logging
+
+Remove, or set to `""`, the `meshConfig.extensionProviders` and `meshConfig.defaultProviders` setting in your Istio install configuration.
+
+{{< tip >}}
+In the example below, replace `default` with the name of the profile you used when you installed Istio.
+{{< /tip >}}
+
+{{< text bash >}}
+$ istioctl install --set profile=default
