Generally Available: OpenTelemetry agent in Azure Container Apps
OpenTelemetry agent in Azure Container Apps is now generally available. This feature enables you to use open-source standards to send your app’s data without setting up the OpenTelemetry collector yourself. You can use the managed agent to choose where to send logs, metrics, and traces.
Once enabled, the agent runs in your Container Apps environment and automatically collects and exports telemetry data. You can send data to Azure Monitor Application Insights (logs, traces), Datadog (metrics, logs, traces), or any generic OTLP-configured endpoint (logs, metrics, traces). You can configure and manage the agent today using the Azure portal, ARM templates, Bicep, Terraform, or the Azure CLI.
