Hi folks 👋
on my on-prem setup with kubernetes work pool, we’re trying to use OpenTelemetry in the flow runs, sinking the telemetry data to a Otel Collector, but we’ve observed two things:
does not work with formatting the log output. Adjusting
PREFECT_FORMATTERS_*
leads to missing otel’s injected properties.
traces and metrics set inside the flow code does not propagate to the Otel collector
is there a magic trick to have Otel working with Prefect?

we’re trying to use zero-code auto instrumentation as much as possible, by configuring Otel throughout env vars
