OpenTelemetry in Go — SDK setup, API surface, breaking changes, contrib instrumentation libraries (otelhttp, otelgrpc, otelmongo), compile-time zero-code instrumentation (otelc), and performance tuning. Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Go service. Triggers on "setup otel in go", "go telemetry", "go tracing", "otelconf go", "otelhttp", "otelgrpc", "TracerProvider go", "MeterProvider go", "otelc", "compile-time instrumentation go", "zero-code go instrumentation…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# OpenTelemetry in Go Entry point for OpenTelemetry mechanics in Go services. Load a reference below based on the task; each reference is self-contained. ## References | File | Use when | |---|---| | [`references/declarative-setup.md`](references/declarative-setup.md) | Configuring the SDK via `otelconf` and YAML: providers, propagators, shutdown, env-var substitution. | | [`references/api.md`](references/api.md) | Looking up import paths, global API access, tracer/meter/logger usage, attributes, propagation, log bridges (zap, slog). | | [`references/instrumentation-libraries.md`](references/instrumentation-libraries.md) | Picking or wiring contrib libraries (otelhttp, otelgrpc, database, AWS, message queues, propagators, resource detectors), and writing manual instrumentation that follows semconv. | | [`references/performance.md`](references/performance.md) | Tuning sampling, batch processor, metric reader, exporter compression/retry, attribute allocation, log `Enabled()` short-circuiting, graceful shutdown. | …

How to install
mdr add ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills/otel-go@sha256:13f32a2435f070a9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.be344f2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
