WHY OTEL-NATIVE MATTERS

APM should be open. Period.

Data silos, proprietary formats, and closed ecosystems slow you down. Elastic is open source and OTel-native, delivering broad language support, improved interoperability, and detailed context for troubleshooting.

Ingest and analyze any OTel data
OpenTelemetry provides a portable standard for observability. You can bring OTel-native traces, logs, and metrics into Elastic from any third-party OTel tool — or from your own OTel collectors using custom processors and exporters — for analysis and visualization in Elastic.
Rich context across all your data
Elastic's unified schema extends OTel semantic conventions with resource attributes and execution context, allowing you to collect and correlate traces with logs and metrics from any source — while preserving full OTel compatibility.
Production-ready distribution
With Elastic Distributions of OpenTelemetry (EDOT), you get a stable, supported OTel distribution backed by experts that includes auto-instrumentation for Java, .NET, Python, Node.js, PHP, iOS, and Android.
No proprietary format
Elastic's native support for OTel schematic conventions and W3C trace context ensures your telemetry data isn’t locked into a proprietary format. That means easier migration and long-term flexibility as your architecture evolves.

VISUALIZE & ANALYZE

Pinpoint code issues and debug faster

Every trace matters. Elastic gives you full visibility into every service, every span, and every request — captured and correlated.

Distributed tracing
Track requests across your stack with lightweight, OpenTelemetry-based distributed tracing. Head- and tail-based sampling cuts overhead without cutting context. Get the critical traces you need without the performance penalty.
Latency, error, and failure correlation
When issues occur, it's rarely a single root cause. Elastic APM uses machine learning to automatically correlate symptoms to possible causes by surfacing the outliers, patterns, and changes behind intermittent performance glitches.
Service dependency mapping
A map of your architecture — live and interactive — is your compass in production. Visualize critical anomalies across services running in clouds and containers. See what’s connected, what's struggling, and where to tune performance.
Issue investigation with AI Assistant
Elastic AI Assistant helps you better understand transaction latency issues and application errors and failures. It suggests relevant next steps based on internal runbooks and known GitHub issues.
LLM performance
Optimize GenAI apps by tracing large language models (LLMs) with Elastic APM. Debug LangChain apps via EDOT or third-party tracing libraries like LangTrace, OpenLIT, or OpenLLMetry — or get a broader view with preconfigured LLM monitoring.
Mobile APM
Instrument iOS and Android apps to monitor mobile performance with Elastic APM. Correlate with backend services for full end-to-end context.

Broad language support

Elastic fits into any dev environment for modern or legacy apps offering extensive support for popular languages and their frameworks — including Java, .NET, Python, Go, Node.js, Ruby, PHP, C++, and more.
