Full opentelemetry support for all signals (logs, metrics, traces) and auto instrumentation of popular libraries that doesn't flood with noise. Exceptions are just trace events with a certain type :) But, I don't know why you'd put yourself in such pain implementing this ;)

These telemetry/otel hooks pretty much give you every opportunity to send anything: logs, metrics, traces, generic events, deployment markers, exceptions. It's just a matter of organizing the info at various levels (app, collector, reporting, etc).

I did, and then didn't, because of various issues or deprecations or flexibility. The phoenix and cowboy ones are too noisy, the liveview one was useless. The oban one polluted Ecto iirc, and at the time Datadog was using deprecated keys, so I had to roll my own. No tail sampling made things hard
