azure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter-py non-hero scenarios

These scenarios are intentionally separate from hero flows in SKILL.md. They cover secondary/advanced patterns typically used after the primary end-to-end path is working.

Azure AD Authentication

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter

# Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential. In production, set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod or use a specific credential.
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
# Or use a specific credential directly in production:
# See https://learn.microsoft.com/python/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-python#credential-classes
# credential = ManagedIdentityCredential()

exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
    credential=credential
)

Sampling

Use ApplicationInsightsSampler for consistent sampling:

from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import ApplicationInsightsSampler

# Sample 10% of traces
sampler = ApplicationInsightsSampler(sampling_ratio=0.1)

trace.set_tracer_provider(TracerProvider(sampler=sampler))

Offline Storage

Configure offline storage for retry:

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter

exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
    credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
    storage_directory="/path/to/storage",  # Custom storage path
    disable_offline_storage=False  # Enable retry (default)
)

Disable Offline Storage

exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
    credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
    disable_offline_storage=True  # No retry on failure
)

Sovereign Clouds

from azure.identity import AzureAuthorityHosts, DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry.exporter import AzureMonitorTraceExporter

# Azure Government
credential = DefaultAzureCredential(authority=AzureAuthorityHosts.AZURE_GOVERNMENT)
exporter = AzureMonitorTraceExporter(
    connection_string="InstrumentationKey=xxx;IngestionEndpoint=https://xxx.in.applicationinsights.azure.us/",
    credential=credential
)

Exporter Types

AzureMonitorLogExporter Logs traces, customEvents

Configuration Options

Parameter Description Default
connection_string Application Insights connection string From env var
