> Libraries and frameworks instrumented out of the box.

The tool ships instrumentation packages for the following libraries and
frameworks. When your application or its dependencies use one of them, the
matching instrumentation is injected automatically at build time.

| Library or framework    | Import path                             | Instrumented operations        |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| HTTP (standard library) | `net/http`                              | Client and server requests     |
| gRPC                    | `google.golang.org/grpc`                | Client and server calls        |
| SQL databases           | `database/sql`                          | Database calls                 |
| Gin                     | `github.com/gin-gonic/gin`              | Server requests                |
| Redis                   | `github.com/redis/go-redis/v9`          | Client commands                |
| MongoDB                 | `go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo`     | Client commands                |
| Kafka                   | `github.com/segmentio/kafka-go`         | Produced and consumed messages |
| OpenAI                  | `github.com/openai/openai-go` (v1 – v3) | Client calls                   |
| Kubernetes client       | `k8s.io/client-go/tools/cache`          | Informer cache operations      |
| slog (standard library) | `log/slog`                              | Log records                    |
| Logrus                  | `github.com/sirupsen/logrus`            | Log records                    |

HTTP and gRPC instrumentation produce spans and metrics, including automatic
[context propagation](/docs/concepts/context-propagation/) between services.
Instrumentation follows the OpenTelemetry
[semantic conventions](/docs/specs/semconv/) for each library. Go runtime
metrics are collected by default and can be turned off by adding
`runtimemetrics` to `OTEL_GO_DISABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS`.

The set of supported library versions is declared by each instrumentation's
rules. For the authoritative, up-to-date list, see the
[instrumentation packages](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-compile-instrumentation/tree/main/instrumentation)
in the repository.

## Requesting a library

If a library you rely on isn't instrumented yet, open a
[feature request](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-compile-instrumentation/issues).
You can also add instrumentation yourself: the repository's
[instrumentation guide](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-compile-instrumentation/blob/main/docs/instrument-guide.md)
walks through defining rules and implementing hooks for a new library.
