kopai/otel-instrumentation
Instrument applications with OpenTelemetry SDK and validate telemetry using Kopai. Use when setting up observability, adding tracing/logging/metrics, testing instrumentation, debugging missing telemetry data, or when traces/logs/metrics aren't appearing after setup. Also use when users say things like "my traces aren't showing up", "I don't see any data", or "how do I add observability to my app".
