Do we have opentelemetry-micronaut-starter for micronaut application similar to opentelemetry-spring-boot-starter?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a Micronaut native application and exploring how to integrate OpenTelemetry for observability. I've noticed that there is an opentelemetry-spring-boot-starter for Spring Boot applications, which simplifies the setup process.

Is there an equivalent starter for Micronaut, like an opentelemetry-micronaut-starter?
I also want to set up OpenTelemetry in the Micronaut application without using the OpenTelemetry agent.
What would be the recommended approach for such a setup? Any guidance, documentation links, or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance! 😊

As far as I know, we don't provide similar starter for micronaut like spring boot.

I also want to set up OpenTelemetry in the Micronaut application without using the OpenTelemetry agent.

You can try it out by https://micronaut-projects.github.io/micronaut-tracing/latest/guide/#opentelemetry

@steverao , Thanks for reply, somehow I am not able to instrument my micronaut application without agent. Is there any way by which I could do the instrumentation with zero code in micronaut?

P.S: I don't want to use the OTEL agent.

hi @shahparthiv

You can try it out by https://micronaut-projects.github.io/micronaut-tracing/latest/guide/#opentelemetry

if you aren't able to get this working, I'd suggest reaching out to the micronaut project

It seems with zero code it will not be possible.
Please share your thoughts.

In Java Instrumentation side, as far as I know, we don't have zero code solution for micronaut so far. Nobody is working on this now.

P.S: I don't want to use the OTEL agent.

I think it had better to file a related issues and discuss with them in micronaut project. If you are interested in related filed, I guess it 's good to join tonight's Java SIG Meeting and discuss it with maintainers. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D7ZD93LxSWexHeztHohRp5yeoTzsi9Dj1HRm7Tad-hM/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.d383fffk4vc9
