|---|---|
references/declarative-setup.md | Configuring the SDK via declarative YAML (opentelemetry-configuration / opentelemetry.configuration): load_config_file, configure_sdk, file_format, env substitution, OTEL_CONFIG_FILE and programmatic activation. |
references/api.md | Import paths, global API access, tracer/meter/logger usage, attributes, propagation, the Python logging bridge (LoggingHandler). |
references/instrumentation-libraries.md | Zero-code (opentelemetry-distro, opentelemetry-bootstrap, opentelemetry-instrument), the contrib catalog, and manual instrumentation following semconv. |
references/performance.md | Tuning sampling, batch span processor, periodic metric reader, views, asyncio context, exporters, graceful shutdown. |
references/breaking-changes.md | Auditing existing code for deprecated/renamed APIs and semconv changes across recent SDK/contrib releases. |
