# Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Exporter for Python
Low-level exporter for sending OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and logs to Application Insights.
## Installation
```bash
pip install azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter
```
## Environment Variables
```bash
APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING=InstrumentationKey=xxx;IngestionEndpoint=https://xxx.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/
```
## When to Use
| Scenario | Use |
|----------|-----|
| Quick setup, auto-instrumentation | `azure-monitor-opentelemetry` (distro) |
| Custom OpenTelemetry pipeline | `azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter` (this) |
| Fine-grained control over telemetry | `azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter` (this) |
## Trace Exporter
```python
from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter
# Create exporter
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
connection_string="InstrumentationKey=xxx;..."
)
# Configure tracer provider
trace.set_tracer_provider(TracerProvider())
trace.get_tracer_provider().add_span_processor(
BatchSpanProcessor(exporter)
)
# Use tracer
tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)
with tracer.start_as_current_span("my-span"):
print("Hello, World!")
```
## Metric Exporter
```python
from opentelemetry import metrics
from opentelemetry.sdk.metrics import MeterProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.metrics.export import PeriodicExportingMetricReader
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorMetricExporter
# Create exporter
exporter = AzureMonitorMetricExporter(
connection_string="InstrumentationKey=xxx;..."
)
# Configure meter provider
reader = PeriodicExportingMetricReader(exporter, export_interval_millis=60000)
metrics.set_meter_provider(MeterProvider(metric_readers=[reader]))
# Use meter
meter = metrics.get_meter(__name__)
counter = meter.create_counter("requests_total")
counter.add(1, {"route": "/api/users"})
```
## Log Exporter
```python
import logging
from opentelemetry._logs import set_logger_provider
from opentelemetry.sdk._logs import LoggerProvider, LoggingHandler
from opentelemetry.sdk._logs.export import BatchLogRecordProcessor
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorLogExporter
# Create exporter
exporter = AzureMonitorLogExporter(
connection_string="InstrumentationKey=xxx;..."
)
# Configure logger provider
logger_provider = LoggerProvider()
logger_provider.add_log_record_processor(BatchLogRecordProcessor(exporter))
set_logger_provider(logger_provider)
# Add handler to Python logging
handler = LoggingHandler(level=logging.INFO, logger_provider=logger_provider)
logging.getLogger().addHandler(handler)
# Use logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.info("This will be sent to Application Insights")
```
## From Environment Variable
Exporters read `APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING` automatically:
```python
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter
# Connection string from environment
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter()
```
## Azure AD Authentication
```python
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)
```
## Sampling
Use `ApplicationInsightsSampler` for consistent sampling:
```python
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.sampling import ParentBasedTraceIdRatio
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import ApplicationInsightsSampler
# Sample 10% of traces
sampler = ApplicationInsightsSampler(sampling_ratio=0.1)
trace.set_tracer_provider(TracerProvider(sampler=sampler))
```
## Offline Storage
Configure offline storage for retry:
```python
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
connection_string="...",
storage_directory="/path/to/storage", # Custom storage path
disable_offline_storage=False # Enable retry (default)
)
```
## Disable Offline Storage
```python
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
connection_string="...",
disable_offline_storage=True # No retry on failure
)
```
## Sovereign Clouds
```python
from azure.identity import AzureAuthorityHosts, DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter
# Azure Government
credential = DefaultAzureCredential(authority=AzureAuthorityHosts.AZURE_GOVERNMENT)
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
connection_string="InstrumentationKey=xxx;IngestionEndpoint=https://xxx.in.applicationinsights.azure.us/",
credential=credential
)
```
## Exporter Types
| Exporter | Telemetry Type | Application Insights Table |
|----------|---------------|---------------------------|
| `AzureMonitorTraceExporter` | Traces/Spans | requests, dependencies, exceptions |
| `AzureMonitorMetricExporter` | Metrics | customMetrics, performanceCounters |
| `AzureMonitorLogExporter` | Logs | traces, customEvents |
## Configuration Options
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| `connection_string` | Application Insights connection string | From env var |
| `credential` | Azure credential for AAD auth | None |
| `disable_offline_storage` | Disable retry storage | False |
| `storage_directory` | Custom storage path | Temp directory |
## Best Practices
1. **Use BatchSpanProcessor** for production (not SimpleSpanProcessor)
2. **Use ApplicationInsightsSampler** for consistent sampling across services
3. **Enable offline storage** for reliability in production
4. **Use AAD authentication** instead of instrumentation keys
5. **Set export intervals** appropriate for your workload
6. **Use the distro** (`azure-monitor-opentelemetry`) unless you need custom pipelines
