Quick Start

// Prefer autoconfigure instead:
// <artifactId>azure-monitor-opentelemetry-autoconfigure</artifactId>

Best Practices

• Use autoconfigure — migrate to azure-monitor-opentelemetry-autoconfigure
• Set meaningful span names — use descriptive operation names
• Add relevant attributes — include contextual data for debugging
• Handle exceptions — always record exceptions on spans
• Use semantic conventions — follow OpenTelemetry semantic conventions
• End spans in finally — ensure spans are always ended
• Use try-with-resources — scope management with try-with-resources pattern
