description	OpenTelemetry for NestJS applications. Use when distributed tracing is needed, and when capturing exceptions.

Import

import { configureOpentelemetryTracing, configureOpentelemetryMetrics, Trace, captureException, getOtelTracer, registerInstrumentation, OpenTelemetryLogger } from '@wisemen/opentelemetry' 

Add @Trace() to methods that require a new spans. Use when starting a significant call to for example an external system or subsystem.

  @Trace()
  async execute (): Promise<void> {
    ...
  }

Capture exceptions. Use when an error does not need to be thrown.

import { captureException } from '@wisemen/opentelemetry'

try {
  await riskyOperation()
} catch (error) {
  captureException(error, 'Failed to process payment')
}
