I really like it. Especially together with otel-collector it’s easy to get logs, tracing and metrics in a standardised manner that allows you to forward any metrics/tracing to SRE teams or partners.
For example, sent your logs to Splunk, sent your traces to New Relic and metrics to Prometheus. Also sent a filtered limited set of traces and logs to a partner that wants the details. It’s great.
Only annoying bit is that not all functionality described in spec is implemented in each language. For example, exemplars are not supported in JavaScript/Node.
I do hope that the big parties Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic would better support semantic conventions and less rely on their own agents.
