Example: Send OpenTelemetry Logs with the OpenTelemetry Python SDK

pip install opentelemetry-api
pip install opentelemetry-sdk
pip install opentelemetry-exporter-otlp

import logging

from opentelemetry._logs import set_logger_provider
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc._log_exporter import OTLPLogExporter
from opentelemetry.sdk._logs import LoggerProvider, LoggingHandler
from opentelemetry.sdk._logs.export import BatchLogRecordProcessor
from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import Resource

# Create and set the logger provider
logger_provider = LoggerProvider()
set_logger_provider(logger_provider)

# Create the OTLP log exporter that sends logs to configured destination
exporter = OTLPLogExporter()
logger_provider.add_log_record_processor(BatchLogRecordProcessor(exporter))

# Attach the OTLP handler to the root logger
handler = LoggingHandler(logger_provider=logger_provider)
logging.getLogger().addHandler(handler)

# Use logging directly anywhere in your app
logging.warning("Something interesting happened")

# Shut down the logger before exiting to export all pending logs
logger_provider.shutdown()
