Use this branch to prepare a client for its first trace export and verify that trace data reaches OpsRamp.

Setup sequence

Perform the following steps to setup a sequence.

  1. Review Prerequisites.
  2. Ask a client administrator to Enable Tracing for a Client for the target client.
  3. Obtain the correct Generate Ingestion Credentials (API Key / Token) for the selected collection path.
  4. Choose a Quick Start by Environment and configure the application or Collector to export OTLP.
  5. Verify Trace Ingestion in the application and OpsRamp.
  6. Continue with Next Steps to explore and operate the resulting traces.

The environment pages assume the application code already uses an OpenTelemetry SDK to create spans. Endpoint addresses, protocol, credentials, and tenant identifiers must come from the tenant’s Trace Setup instructions; examples in this guide are not substitutes for those values.
