Azure Container Apps now supports a managed OpenTelemetry agent in public preview. This new feature eliminates the need to set up an OTLP collector manually, allowing users to easily send their application data using open source standards. The managed agent enables users to select where to send logs, metrics, and traces within the Container Apps environment.
Once enabled, the managed OpenTelemetry agent collects and exports data to various destinations. Users can currently send data to Azure Monitor Application Insights for logs and traces, Datadog for metrics and traces, and any generic endpoints configured with OTLP for logs, metrics, and traces. Management of the agent can be done using ARM/Bicep and CLI commands, with standard usage rates applying.
