Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Exporter for Java

⚠️ DEPRECATION NOTICE: This package is deprecated. Migrate to azure-monitor-opentelemetry-autoconfigure.
See Migration Guide for detailed instructions.

Export OpenTelemetry telemetry data to Azure Monitor / Application Insights.

Installation (Deprecated)

xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-beta.x</version>
</dependency>

Recommended: Use Autoconfigure Instead

xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-monitor-opentelemetry-autoconfigure</artifactId>
<version>REPLACE_WITH_REVIEWED_COMPATIBLE_VERSION</version>
</dependency>

Environment Variables

bash
APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING=InstrumentationKey=xxx;IngestionEndpoint=https://xxx.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/

Version and telemetry scope

Resolve an actual compatible version from the linked official migration/package docs; placeholder versions are not buildable dependencies. Configuring exporters is not proof every application library is instrumented: verify trace/metric/log export for the pinned integration and do not initialize duplicate SDKs. Redact sensitive attributes/exceptions, use an approved telemetry destination and manage SDK shutdown/flush through the application lifecycle.

Basic Setup with Autoconfigure (Recommended)

Using Environment Variable
java
import io.opentelemetry.sdk.autoconfigure.AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdk;
import io.opentelemetry.sdk.autoconfigure.AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdkBuilder;
import io.opentelemetry.api.OpenTelemetry;
import com.azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter.AzureMonitorExporter;
// Connection string from APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING env var
AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdkBuilder sdkBuilder = AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdk.builder();
AzureMonitorExporter.customize(sdkBuilder);
OpenTelemetry openTelemetry = sdkBuilder.build().getOpenTelemetrySdk();
With Explicit Connection String
java
AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdkBuilder sdkBuilder = AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdk.builder();
AzureMonitorExporter.customize(sdkBuilder, "{connection-string}");
OpenTelemetry openTelemetry = sdkBuilder.build().getOpenTelemetrySdk();

Creating Spans

java
import io.opentelemetry.api.trace.Tracer;
import io.opentelemetry.api.trace.Span;
import io.opentelemetry.context.Scope;
// Get tracer
Tracer tracer = openTelemetry.getTracer("com.example.myapp");
// Create span
Span span = tracer.spanBuilder("myOperation").startSpan();
try (Scope scope = span.makeCurrent()) {
// Your application logic
doWork();
} catch (Throwable t) {
span.recordException(t);
throw t;
} finally {
span.end();
}

Adding Span Attributes

java
import io.opentelemetry.api.common.AttributeKey;
import io.opentelemetry.api.common.Attributes;
Span span = tracer.spanBuilder("processOrder")
.setAttribute("order.id", "12345")
.setAttribute("customer.tier", "premium")
.startSpan();
try (Scope scope = span.makeCurrent()) {
// Add attributes during execution
span.setAttribute("items.count", 3);
span.setAttribute("total.amount", 99.99);
processOrder();
} finally {
span.end();
}

Custom Span Processor

java
import io.opentelemetry.sdk.trace.SpanProcessor;
import io.opentelemetry.sdk.trace.ReadWriteSpan;
import io.opentelemetry.sdk.trace.ReadableSpan;
import io.opentelemetry.context.Context;
private static final AttributeKey<String> CUSTOM_ATTR = AttributeKey.stringKey("custom.attribute");
SpanProcessor customProcessor = new SpanProcessor() {
@Override
public void onStart(Context context, ReadWriteSpan span) {
// Add custom attribute to every span
span.setAttribute(CUSTOM_ATTR, "customValue");
}
@Override
public boolean isStartRequired() {
return true;
}
@Override
public void onEnd(ReadableSpan span) {
// Post-processing if needed
}
@Override
public boolean isEndRequired() {
return false;
}
};
// Register processor
AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdkBuilder sdkBuilder = AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdk.builder();
AzureMonitorExporter.customize(sdkBuilder);
sdkBuilder.addTracerProviderCustomizer(
(sdkTracerProviderBuilder, configProperties) ->
sdkTracerProviderBuilder.addSpanProcessor(customProcessor)
);
OpenTelemetry openTelemetry = sdkBuilder.build().getOpenTelemetrySdk();

Nested Spans

java
public void parentOperation() {
Span parentSpan = tracer.spanBuilder("parentOperation").startSpan();
try (Scope scope = parentSpan.makeCurrent()) {
childOperation();
} finally {
parentSpan.end();
}
}
public void childOperation() {
// Automatically links to parent via Context
Span childSpan = tracer.spanBuilder("childOperation").startSpan();
try (Scope scope = childSpan.makeCurrent()) {
// Child work
} finally {
childSpan.end();
}
}

Recording Exceptions

java
Span span = tracer.spanBuilder("riskyOperation").startSpan();
try (Scope scope = span.makeCurrent()) {
performRiskyWork();
} catch (Exception e) {
span.recordException(e);
span.setStatus(StatusCode.ERROR, e.getMessage());
throw e;
} finally {
span.end();
}

Metrics (via OpenTelemetry)

java
import io.opentelemetry.api.metrics.Meter;
import io.opentelemetry.api.metrics.LongCounter;
import io.opentelemetry.api.metrics.LongHistogram;
Meter meter = openTelemetry.getMeter("com.example.myapp");
// Counter
LongCounter requestCounter = meter.counterBuilder("http.requests")
.setDescription("Total HTTP requests")
.setUnit("requests")
.build();
requestCounter.add(1, Attributes.of(
AttributeKey.stringKey("http.method"), "GET",
AttributeKey.longKey("http.status_code"), 200L
));
// Histogram
LongHistogram latencyHistogram = meter.histogramBuilder("http.latency")
.setDescription("Request latency")
.setUnit("ms")
.ofLongs()
.build();
latencyHistogram.record(150, Attributes.of(
AttributeKey.stringKey("http.route"), "/api/users"
));

Key Concepts

ConceptDescription
Connection StringApplication Insights connection string with instrumentation key
TracerCreates spans for distributed tracing
SpanRepresents a unit of work with timing and attributes
SpanProcessorIntercepts span lifecycle for customization
ExporterSends telemetry to Azure Monitor

Migration to Autoconfigure

The azure-monitor-opentelemetry-autoconfigure package provides:

  • Automatic instrumentation of common libraries
  • Simplified configuration
  • Better integration with OpenTelemetry SDK
Migration Steps
  1. Replace dependency:

```xml <!-- Remove --> <dependency> <groupId>com.azure</groupId> <artifactId>azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter</artifactId> </dependency>

<!-- Add --> <dependency> <groupId>com.azure</groupId> <artifactId>azure-monitor-opentelemetry-autoconfigure</artifactId> </dependency> ```

  1. Update initialization code per Migration Guide

Best Practices

  1. Use autoconfigure — Migrate to azure-monitor-opentelemetry-autoconfigure
  2. Set meaningful span names — Use descriptive operation names
  3. Add relevant attributes — Include contextual data for debugging
  4. Handle exceptions — Always record exceptions on spans
  5. Use semantic conventions — Follow OpenTelemetry semantic conventions
  6. End spans in finally — Ensure spans are always ended
  7. Use try-with-resources — Scope management with try-with-resources pattern
