Use the OpenTelemetry Java agent to perform automatic instrumentation on an application

In the following example, the OpenTelemetry Java agent is used to report the data of a Java application. The OpenTelemetry Java agent allows you to connect OpenTelemetry to Managed Service for OpenTelemetry in a non-intrusive manner and can be used to automatically upload trace data in hundreds of Java frameworks. For more information about the supported frameworks, see Supported libraries, frameworks, application servers, and JVMs. For more information about how to use OpenTelemetry SDK for Java to manually instrument an application and report data, how to use other clients to report data, and how to report the data of applications that are developed in other languages, see the references at the end of this topic.

1. Download the OpenTelemetry Java agent demo.

2. Download the OpenTelemetry Java agent.

   In the latest version of Assets, find the opentelemetry-javaagent.jar package and download the package.

3. Obtain the endpoint of the OpenTelemetry Java agent in the Managed Service for OpenTelemetry console.

   1. Log on to the Managed Service for OpenTelemetry console.

   2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Cluster Configurations. Then, click the Access point information tab.

   3. In the top navigation bar, select a region. In the Cluster Information section, turn on Show Token.

   4. In the Client section, click OpenTelemetry.

      Obtain an endpoint of OpenTelemetry in the Related Information column of the table in the lower part.

      Note

      If your application is deployed in an Alibaba Cloud production environment, use a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoint. Otherwise, use a public endpoint.

4. Modify the VM parameters in the Java startup configuration to submit trace data.

   -javaagent:/path/to/opentelemetry-javaagent.jar    // Replace the path with the URL that you use to download the OpenTelemetry Java agent. 
   -Dotel.resource.attributes=service.name=<appName> // Replace <appName> with your application name. 
   -Dotel.exporter.otlp.headers=Authentication=<token>
   -Dotel.exporter.otlp.endpoint=<endpoint>

   Example:

   -javaagent:/Users/carpela/Downloads/opentelemetry-javaagent.jar
   -Dotel.resource.attributes=service.name=ot-java-agent-sample
   -Dotel.exporter.otlp.headers=Authentication=b590xxxxuqs@3a75d95xxxxx9b_b59xxxxguqs@53dxxxx2afe8301
   -Dotel.exporter.otlp.endpoint=http://tracing-analysis-dc-bj:8090

View the monitoring data

On the Applications page in the Managed Service for OpenTelemetry console, click the name of the application. On the page that appears, view the trace data.
