nextjs - 💡(How to fix) Fix Opentelemetry instrumentation for pino doesn't work [11 comments, 5 participants]

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to incorrect configuration or instrumentation of OpenTelemetry with Pino, and a workaround could be to manually configure the Pino logger to export logs to the OpenTelemetry collector.

Guidance

• Verify that the @opentelemetry/instrumentation-pino package is correctly installed and imported in the project.
• Check the instrumentation configuration to ensure that Pino is properly instrumented to export logs to the OpenTelemetry collector.
• Try logging using the @opentelemetry/api-logs package directly to see if the issue is specific to Pino or a more general OpenTelemetry configuration problem.
• Review the code to ensure that the Pino logger is being used correctly and that the logs are being exported to the OpenTelemetry collector.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue is likely related to configuration or instrumentation, and the provided code repository should be reviewed for specific implementation details.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the combination of Next.js, OpenTelemetry, and Pino, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause. The fact that logging using @opentelemetry/api-logs works suggests that the OpenTelemetry configuration is partially correct.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: manually configure the Pino logger to export logs to the OpenTelemetry collector, as the automatic instrumentation may not be working as expected. This will help to isolate the issue and determine if it's a configuration problem or a bug in the instrumentation package.
