This branch covers code-owned OpenTelemetry instrumentation: creating spans around meaningful work, adding useful context, and carrying trace context across service and messaging boundaries.

Documentation map

• Instrumentation Methods compares code-based approaches.
• Custom Instrumentation organizes application-specific span guidance.
• Trace Context Propagation covers cross-process correlation.

For client setup and exporter configuration, start with the Getting Started branch. Use a stable service identity and the tenant-specific collection settings from OpsRamp Trace Setup.
