OpenTelemetry in Java — Javaagent zero-code instrumentation, Spring Boot Starter, manual autoconfigure SDK, declarative YAML configuration, BOM dependency management, sensitive-data capture and redaction (url.query, headers, request parameters, SQL sanitization). Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Java service.

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 Java Entry point for OpenTelemetry mechanics in Java 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 declarative YAML: Javaagent activation, Spring Boot Starter, autoconfigure SDK, BOM, agent-only properties, manual instrumentation entry points. | | [`references/sensitive-data-capture.md`](references/sensitive-data-capture.md) | What HTTP instrumentation captures by default (query strings ON, headers/params OFF), query-parameter redaction (`sensitive-query-parameters`), header/servlet-parameter capture knobs, SQL sanitization. | ## Sources of Truth For YAML schema details, fetch the upstream sources listed in the `otel-declarative-config` skill. For Java-specific facts: | Fact | Fetch | |---|---| | Latest BOM (`opentelemetry-bom`) | `gh api repos/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/releases/latest -q '.tag_name'` | | Latest Javaagent | `gh api repos/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/releases/latest -q '.tag_name'` | …

How to install
mdr add ollygarden/opentelemetry-agent-skills/otel-java@sha256:b08a76593164e432The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.e38e545, 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.
