What this topic covers
DE//AGENT currently lists 2 resources under instrumentation: 1 tutorial, 1 reference. Everything below is derived from the live registry — counts, capabilities, verification state and security posture come from the curated records, never from marketing copy.
What you can learn here
Documented learning objectives across these resources:
- Emit one trace per pipeline run with spans per task — via Instrument pipelines with OpenTelemetry: traces for data jobs
- Adopt semantic conventions for attribute names — via Instrument pipelines with OpenTelemetry: traces for data jobs
- Distinguish runtime traces from lineage events — via Instrument pipelines with OpenTelemetry: traces for data jobs
Where this fits in the learning roadmap
These resources map to stage: Observability (2). Follow the four-phase roadmap to place this topic inside a progression instead of learning it in isolation.
Compare the registry's options
Every entry, its shape and its trust state — sorted by the registry's composite score. This table is the honest version of a marketing comparison: no sponsored placements, no unverifiable claims.
| Resource | Type | Difficulty | Verification | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Instrument pipelines with OpenTelemetry: traces for data jobs | Tutorial | intermediate | community | 34.15 |
| OpenTelemetry Documentation | Reference | — | community | 27.7 |
How scores are computed: source quality score.
Where to start
Highest composite score first:
- Instrument pipelines with OpenTelemetry: traces for data jobs score 34.15 — intermediate
- OpenTelemetry Documentation score 27.7 — difficulty not documented
Scores rank provenance, completeness and trust — read how verification works before adopting anything.
Production use cases
- Instrument pipelines with OpenTelemetry: traces for data jobs — Traces give every pipeline run a story — which task ran, how long, with what attributes. Wrap a job with OpenTelemetry, adopt the semantic conventions so attribute names match acro… details
- OpenTelemetry Documentation — OpenTelemetry's official documentation: traces, metrics and logs through a vendor-neutral API/SDK, the collector, and semantic conventions. Increasingly the default instrumentation… details
