name	golem-enable-otlp-rust
description	Enabling the OpenTelemetry (OTLP) plugin for a Rust Golem agent — exporting traces, logs, and metrics to an OTLP collector, adding custom spans with the invocation context API.

Enabling OpenTelemetry for a Rust Agent

The golem-otlp-exporter is a built-in plugin that exports agent telemetry (traces, logs, metrics) to any OTLP-compatible collector via OTLP/HTTP. No plugin installation is needed — just enable it in the application manifest.

Step 1 — Enable the Plugin in golem.yaml

Add the plugin to the component (or agent) that should emit telemetry:

components:
  my-app:service:
    plugins:
      - name: golem-otlp-exporter
        version: "1.5.0"
        parameters:
          endpoint: "http://localhost:4318"
          signals: "traces,logs,metrics"

Plugin Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
endpoint	Yes	OTLP collector base URL (e.g., http://localhost:4318)
signals	No	Comma-separated: traces, logs, metrics. Default: traces
