How to manually instrument iOS Applications with OpenTelemetry

Aug 14, 2023 By Elastic In Elastic
In this tutorial, we dive into the practical application of OpenTelemetry in an iOS project built with SwiftUI. We demonstrate how to set up the OpenTelemetry SDK, generate spans, and send them to a configured OpenTelemetry collector. Our example application displays a random sentence every few seconds. Each sentence generation process is instrumented with OpenTelemetry spans, which include an attribute representing the word count of the sentence.

This could mean any number of things: that the total trace time of handling a web request might include lots of spans after a satisfying response was sent to the user.
