The Android Log instrumentation transforms calls to android.util.Log.x to emit OTel log record.

This instrumentation produces the following telemetry:

• Type: Log
• Description: A log message
• Attributes:
  • android.log.tag: The tag passed to android.uti.Log.x
  • exception.stacktrace - Optional. See the (semconv here).
  • exception.type - Optional. See the (semconv here)

This instrumentation makes use of Byte Buddy to do bytecode instrumentation. Because of this, you need to ensure that your application has the Byte Buddy plugin applied, as shown below.

plugins {
  id("net.bytebuddy.byte-buddy-gradle-plugin") version "LATEST_VERSION" // <1>
}
