Interface OpenTelemetry

public interface OpenTelemetry
The entrypoint to telemetry functionality for tracing, metrics and baggage.

If using the OpenTelemetry SDK, you may want to instantiate the OpenTelemetry to provide configuration, for example of Resource or Sampler. See OpenTelemetrySdk and OpenTelemetrySdk.builder for information on how to construct the SDK OpenTelemetry.
