OpenTelemetry Python Declarative Configuration (experimental)

Warning

This package is experimental. The API surface, type names, and behaviour may change between minor versions. Pin a specific version in production.

This package implements the OpenTelemetry declarative configuration specification for the Python SDK. It parses a YAML or JSON configuration file (or programmatically-constructed configuration model) into typed dataclasses and applies the result to the global SDK providers.

The standard activation path is the OTEL_CONFIG_FILE environment variable, which the SDK’s configurator picks up automatically. Set the variable and run your app under opentelemetry-instrument; no code change is required.

For programmatic use:

from opentelemetry.configuration import configure_sdk, load_config_file

config = load_config_file("otel-config.yaml")
configure_sdk(config)

Installation

pip install opentelemetry-configuration
