Description

Azure Functions now supports OpenTelemetry in general availability (GA), enabling developers to export logs, traces, and metrics using open standards. This release builds on the public preview and delivers a production-ready observability experience for serverless applications. 

 

With this GA release, Azure Functions delivers: 

  • Unified observability – Standardize logs, traces, and metrics across your serverless workloads. 
  • Vendor-neutral telemetry – Integrate with Azure Monitor or any OpenTelemetry-compliant backend. 
  • Broad language support – Works with .NET (isolated), Java, JavaScript, Python, PowerShell, and TypeScript. 

 

Start using OpenTelemetry in Azure Functions today and bring modern, standards-based observability to your apps. View the documentation for step-by-step guidance on enabling OpenTelemetry and configuring exporters for your preferred backend.
