README

Installation

composer require open-telemetry/sdk-configuration

Usage

Initialization from configuration file

$configuration = Configuration::parseFile(__DIR__ . '/kitchen-sink.yaml');
$sdkBuilder = $configuration->create();

Performance considerations

Parsing and processing the configuration is rather expensive. It is highly recommended to provide the $cacheFile parameter when running in a shared-nothing setup.

$configuration = Configuration::parseFile(
    __DIR__ . '/kitchen-sink.yaml',
    __DIR__ . '/var/cache/opentelemetry.php',
);
$sdkBuilder = $configuration->create();
