Is ourcommons.ca an official House of Commons website? It says so but how do I verify before I submit the petition with my information?

Otel logs aim to record the execution context in the logs.

In languages when the context is implicitly passed (e.g. via thread-local storage / MDC in Java) Otel automatically injects trace id and span id in the logs emitted using your regular logging library (e.g. log4j). Then in your log backend you can make queries like "show me all log records of all services in my distributed system that were part of this particular user request".

Disclosure: I am an Otel contributor, working on logs (work-in-progress, not for production use yet).

Article author here, good to see it on HN, someone else has submitted it (thanks :-)).

If you are interested in the topic you may be also interested in a research library I wrote recently: https://github.com/splunk/exp-lazyproto, which among other things exploits the partial (de)serialization technique. This is just a prototype for now, one day I may actually do a production quality implementation.

Here is the draft plan for logs: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specificatio...

Logs are not going to be part of OpenTelemetry 1.0 release (only traces and metrics will). Logs are coming later (no specific timeline yet).

Disclaimer: I work on OpenTelemetry spec and wrote most of the linked doc. Comments/issues/PRs welcome in the repo.

Disclaimer: I work on OpenTelemetry specification and Collector.

It is true that the spec and libraries have been changing. This is to be expected since we haven't yet made a stable release. We are aiming for 1.0 GA release this year. The current plan is to freeze trace spec this week, followed by metric spec freeze in 3 weeks, followed by the release of several language implementations in 4 weeks after the spec freeze.

Like everyone else I wish we could release earlier, but the reality is that making dozens of companies agree on a standard takes time. I am very excited that we are approaching the finish line.
