OpenTelemetry for Node.js

The Honeycomb OpenTelemetry Distro for Node.js wraps the official OpenTelemetry Node.js SDK. OpenTelemetry distributions (or “distros”) are customized versions of OpenTelemetry components. Honeycomb’s distro provides the same functionality as the upstream OpenTelemetry SDK plus more.

How it works

Honeycomb’s OpenTelemetry Distro for Node.js simplifies the setup process and lets you add automatic and manual instrumentation to your Node.js applications so they can send telemetry data to Honeycomb.

Optionally, you may also use the official OpenTelemetry Node.js SDK instead of the Honeycomb distro. The upstream version of OpenTelemetry may require additional configuration, compared to the distro.
