Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry — TypeScript SDK Quick Reference

Condensed from azure-monitor-opentelemetry-ts. Full patterns (ESM loader, custom span processors, manual exporters, live metrics) in the azure-monitor-opentelemetry-ts plugin skill if installed.

Install

npm install @azure/monitor-opentelemetry

Quick Start

import { useAzureMonitor } from "@azure/monitor-opentelemetry";
useAzureMonitor({
  azureMonitorExporterOptions: {
    connectionString: process.env.APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING
  }
});

Best Practices

Call useAzureMonitor() first — before importing other modules
Use ESM loader for ESM projects — --import @azure/monitor-opentelemetry/loader
Enable offline storage for reliable telemetry in disconnected scenarios
Set sampling ratio for high-traffic applications
Add custom dimensions — use span processors for enrichment
Graceful shutdown — call shutdownAzureMonitor() to flush telemetry
