EDOT Python Migration
Read the migration guide before making changes:
Guidelines
1. Remove ALL classic APM references: elastic-apm from requirements, ElasticAPM(app) / elasticapm.contrib.* from application code, app.config['ELASTIC_APM'] blocks, and all ELASTIC_APM_* env vars 1. Install elastic-opentelemetry via pip (add to requirements.txt or equivalent) 1. Run edot-bootstrap --action=install during image build to install auto-instrumentation packages for detected libraries 1. Wrap the application entrypoint with opentelemetry-instrument — e.g. opentelemetry-instrument gunicorn app:app. Without this, no telemetry is collected 1. Set exactly three required environment variables:
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME(replacesELASTIC_APM_SERVICE_NAME)OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT— must be the managed OTLP endpoint or EDOT Collector URL. Do NOT reuse the
old ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL value. Never use an APM Server URL (no apm-server, no :8200, no /intake/v2/events)
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS—"Authorization=ApiKey <key>"or"Authorization=Bearer <token>"(replaces
ELASTIC_APM_SECRET_TOKEN) 1. Do NOT set OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER, OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER, or OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER — the defaults are already correct 1. Never run both classic elastic-apm and EDOT on the same application
