Adding OpenTelemetry tracing to anvil

[simon.ashby]

What I’m trying to do:
I’m trying to incorporate OpenTelemetry Tracing into our anvil app.

I have so far added OTel automated tracing with python into our APIs and microservices. In order to have full tracing within our system, we will require tracing in our frontend anvil app to start the trace and ideally create spans inside of the microservices to generate a full trace of our system.

OpenTelemetry in Anvil was mentioned in this thread:

Anvil Runtime Monitoring: Log Level, Open Telemetry, and Prometheus

Hello there community peeps! I’m running the Anvil Runtime locally and would like to explore options for monitoring the runtime. I see from the Anvil Runtime code on Github that the runtime uses Log4J, has a Prometheus collector, and OpenTelemetry support. Sadly, I get a little cross-eyed looking at Clojure code and am wondering, how I might go about enabling and configuring these services? Thanks in advance!

But nothing came as a result of this thread last year, aside from informing me that there is at least some support for OTeL

Has anyone been able to implement OpenTelemetry in their anvil apps, if so, how did you do it?
