This project is intended to provide helpful libraries and standalone OpenTelemetry-based utilities that don't fit the express scope of the OpenTelemetry .NET or OpenTelemetry .NET Automatic Instrumentation projects.

This repository is a collection of components maintained by different authors and groups. As such, components shipped from this repository (via Nuget) may be at different stability/maturity levels. The status for each individual component is mentioned in its respective README.md file and will fall into one of the following categories:

Component is currently in development and is NOT available on Nuget.

The component is ready to be used for limited non-critical workloads and the authors of this component would welcome your feedback. Bugs and performance problems should be reported, but component owners might not work on them right away. Components can go through significant breaking changes and there are no backward compatibility guarantees. Package versions in this status have the -alpha extension (eg: opentelemetry.exporter.abc-1.0.0-alpha.1).

Same as Alpha, but comparatively more stable. Package versions in this status have the -beta extension (eg: opentelemetry.exporter.abc-1.0.0-beta.1).

Component is close to stability. There may be minimal breaking changes between releases. A component at this stage is expected to have had exposure to non-critical production workloads already during its Alpha/Beta phase(s), making it suitable for broader usage. Package versions in this status have the -rc extension (eg: opentelemetry.exporter.abc-1.0.0-rc.1).

The component is ready for general availability. Bugs and performance problems should be reported and the component owner(s) SHOULD triage and/or resolve them in a timely manner. The package versions MUST follow SemVer V2.

This repository is maintained by .NET Contrib maintainers team and .NET Contrib approvers who can help with reviews and code approval. However, as individual components are developed by numerous contributors, approvers and maintainers are not expected to directly contribute to every component. The list of owners for each component can be found in component's Readme.md file.
