OpenTelemetry Collector component configuration. Use when authoring, reviewing, or debugging Collector YAML for a specific receiver, processor, exporter, connector, or extension — config keys, defaults, validation rules, signal support, stability levels, and component-level gotchas. Triggers on questions about specific components such as `log_dedup` / `logdedup`, `interval` (metric aggregation), and other Collector components covered in `components/`.

OpenTelemetry declarative YAML configuration for SDK setup. Use when configuring OpenTelemetry SDK providers (tracer, meter, logger), setting up OTLP exporters, defining sampling strategies, or writing otel config files. Triggers on "otel config", "OpenTelemetry YAML", "declarative configuration", "otelconf", "OTEL_CONFIG_FILE", "file_format", "configure tracing/metrics/logs export", or when the user is setting up telemetry pipelines via config files rather than code.

OpenTelemetry in Go — SDK setup, API surface, breaking changes, contrib instrumentation libraries (otelhttp, otelgrpc, otelmongo), and performance tuning. Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Go service. Triggers on "setup otel in go", "go telemetry", "go tracing", "otelconf go", "otelhttp", "otelgrpc", "TracerProvider go", "MeterProvider go", or any Go-related OTel question.

OpenTelemetry in Java — Javaagent zero-code instrumentation, Spring Boot Starter, manual autoconfigure SDK, declarative YAML configuration, BOM dependency management. Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Java service. Triggers on "setup otel in java", "java telemetry", "javaagent", "Spring Boot otel", "GlobalOpenTelemetry", "AutoConfiguredOpenTelemetrySdk", "TracerProvider java", or any Java-related OTel question.

OpenTelemetry in Node.js / JavaScript / TypeScript — NodeSDK, declarative YAML configuration, auto-instrumentations, ESM vs CJS import patterns. Use when adding, reviewing, or configuring OpenTelemetry in a Node.js service. Triggers on "setup otel in node", "js telemetry", "node tracing setup", "NodeSDK", "auto instrumentation node", "TracerProvider node", or any Node.js-related OTel question.
