Question: Open to collaboration on LUA mod OTel support?

[sriemer]

Hi NGINX team,

Are you open to collaboration with me extending the NGINX OTel support to the NGINX LUA module?
Is anything about that planned already on your side?

I am still in research phase but looks good that I will use this nginx-otel module for it and will extend the OpenResty repos for it.

Posted a similar question to openresty/openresty#1110 aleady.

I'd just like to avoid duplicate efforts and to join forces instead. TIA

Currently, I recommend to extend custom LUA code with OpenTracing NGINX vars and tracing headers for tracing HTTP requests issued from there so that this can be traced at all. But of cause OTel, convenience and automation is required instead.
