[id="extensions-opentelemetry-usage"]
== Usage
The extension automatically creates a Camel `OpenTelemetryTracer` and binds it to the Camel registry.

In order to send the captured traces to a tracing system, you need to configure some properties within `application.properties` like those below.

[source,properties]
----
# Identifier for the origin of spans created by the application
quarkus.application.name=my-camel-application

# OTLP exporter endpoint
quarkus.opentelemetry.tracer.exporter.otlp.endpoint=http://localhost:4317
----

Refer to the https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/blob/{quarkus-version}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/opentelemetry.adoc[Quarkus OpenTelemetry guide] for a full list of configuration options.

Route endpoints can be excluded from tracing by configuring a property named `quarkus.camel.opentelemetry.exclude-patterns` in `application.properties`. For example:

[source,properties]
----
# Exclude all direct & netty-http endpoints from tracing
quarkus.camel.opentelemetry.exclude-patterns=direct:*,netty-http:*
----

### Exporters

Quarkus OpenTelemetry defaults to the standard OTLP exporter defined in OpenTelemetry.
Additional exporters will be available in the Quarkiverse https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-opentelemetry-exporter/blob/main/README.md[quarkus-opentelemetry-exporter] project.

|icon:lock[title=Fixed at build time] [[quarkus.camel.opentelemetry.encoding]]`link:#quarkus.camel.opentelemetry.encoding[quarkus.camel.opentelemetry.encoding]`

Sets whether header names need to be encoded. Can be useful in situations where OpenTelemetry propagators potentially set header name values in formats that are not compatible with the target system. E.g for JMS where the specification mandates header names are valid Java identifiers.

|icon:lock[title=Fixed at build time] [[quarkus.camel.opentelemetry.exclude-patterns]]`link:#quarkus.camel.opentelemetry.exclude-patterns[quarkus.camel.opentelemetry.exclude-patterns]`

Sets whether to disable tracing for endpoint URIs that match the given patterns. The pattern can take the following forms: 

1. An exact match on the endpoint URI. E.g platform-http:/some/path 

2. A wildcard match. E.g platform-http:++*++ 

3. A regular expression matching the endpoint URI. E.g platform-http:/prefix/.++*++
