The OpenTelemetry (OTel) filter enables distributed tracing of requests across service boundaries, export of metrics such as request rates, latencies and error counts, and structured logging tied to trace context, giving operators a unified view of HAProxy traffic through any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend. The OTel filter is implemented using the standard HAProxy stream filter API. Stream filters attach to proxies and intercept traffic at each stage of processing: they receive callbacks on stream creation and destruction, channel analyzer events, HTTP header and payload processing, and TCP data forwarding. This allows the filter to collect telemetry data at every stage of the request/response lifecycle without modifying the core proxy logic. This commit added the minimum set of files required for the filter to compile: the addon Makefile with pkg-config-based detection of the opentelemetry-c-wrapper library, header files with configuration constants, utility macros and type definitions, and the source files containing stub filter operation callbacks registered through flt_otel_ops and the "opentelemetry" keyword parser entry point. The filter uses the opentelemetry-c-wrapper library from HAProxy Technologies, which provides a C interface to the OpenTelemetry C++ SDK. This wrapper allows HAProxy, a C codebase, to leverage the full OpenTelemetry observability pipeline without direct C++ dependencies in the HAProxy source tree. https://github.com/haproxytech/opentelemetry-c-wrapper https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp Build options: USE_OTEL - enable the OpenTelemetry filter OTEL_DEBUG - compile the filter in debug mode OTEL_INC - force the include path to the C wrapper OTEL_LIB - force the library path to the C wrapper OTEL_RUNPATH - add the C wrapper RUNPATH to the executable Example build with OTel and debug enabled: make -j8 USE_OTEL=1 OTEL_DEBUG=1 TARGET=linux-glibc |
