+ ## Native OpenTelemetry instrumentation
+
+ CrewAI now ships native [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) spans
+ for every major step of execution: crew kickoffs, task runs, agent
+ steps, tool calls, LLM requests, flow methods, memory reads/writes,
+ knowledge queries, A2A delegations, agent reasoning, and LLM
+ guardrails. See the new [OpenTelemetry guide](/en/observability/opentelemetry)
+ for the complete attribute reference and configuration recipes.
+
+ **What this means for existing OTel users:** if your application already
+ installs a `TracerProvider` (Datadog, Honeycomb, Tempo, Jaeger, OTLP,
+ etc.) you will start seeing crewAI spans alongside your service traces
+ automatically — no code changes required. Logs emitted while a crewAI
+ span is active are correlated to the trace via the standard
+ OpenTelemetry `LoggingHandler`.
+
+ Spans are opt-in by construction: when no SDK provider is installed,
+ every instrumentation point degrades to a no-op span with effectively
+ zero overhead. To enable head sampling for production:
+
+ ```python
+ from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
+ from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.sampling import ParentBased, TraceIdRatioBased
+
+ # Sample 10% of root traces.
+ provider = TracerProvider(sampler=ParentBased(root=TraceIdRatioBased(0.1)))
+ ```
+

+
+# Native OpenTelemetry Instrumentation
+
+crewAI emits native [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) spans for every
+major step of execution: crew kickoffs, task runs, agent steps, tool calls,
+LLM requests, flow methods, memory reads/writes, knowledge queries, A2A
+delegations, agent reasoning, and LLM guardrails.
+
+The instrumentation is **always on** — there is nothing to install or
+configure inside crewAI itself. When no OpenTelemetry SDK is registered,
+spans degrade to no-ops with effectively zero overhead. The moment your
+application installs a `TracerProvider`, the same spans become real spans
+that are exported to whatever backend you've configured.
+
+This is the right integration point if you already operate an OpenTelemetry
+collector (Datadog, Honeycomb, New Relic, Jaeger, Tempo, Splunk, Elastic,
+or self-hosted OTLP) and want crewAI traces to land alongside your existing
+service traces — with correlated logs.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Install the SDK and an exporter — crewAI itself only depends on the
+OpenTelemetry **API**, never the SDK.
+
+```bash
+uv add opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-exporter-otlp
+```
+
+Then install a provider once at startup, before you import or instantiate
+any crew:
+
+```python
+from opentelemetry import trace
+from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import Resource
+from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
+from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor
+from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter
+
+provider = TracerProvider(resource=Resource.create({"service.name": "my-crew-app"}))
+provider.add_span_processor(BatchSpanProcessor(OTLPSpanExporter()))
+trace.set_tracer_provider(provider)
+
+from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task
+
+crew = Crew(agents=[...], tasks=[...])
+crew.kickoff() # spans are now exported to your OTLP endpoint
+```
+
+## What gets instrumented
+
+Every span uses the tracer name `"crewai"` and follows the
+`crewai..` attribute naming convention.
+
+| Span name | Where it opens | Key attributes |
+| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `execute crew` | `Crew.kickoff` | `crewai.crew.name`, `crewai.crew.id` |
+| `execute task` | `Task.execute_sync` / `Task.execute_async`| `crewai.task.name`, `crewai.task.id` |
+| `execute agent` | `Agent.execute_task` | `crewai.agent.role`, `crewai.agent.id` |
+| `call tool` | `BaseTool.run` / `Tool.run` | `crewai.tool.name` |
+| `call llm` | `LLM.call` and provider completions | `crewai.llm.model` |
+| `execute flow` | `Flow.kickoff_async` | `crewai.flow.name`, `crewai.flow.id` |
+| `execute flow method` | `Flow._execute_method` | `crewai.flow.name`, `crewai.flow.method` |
+| `resume flow` | `Flow._resume_async_body` | `crewai.flow.name`, `crewai.flow.id` |
+| `remember memory` | `UnifiedMemory.remember` | `crewai.memory.source_type` |
+| `recall memory` | `UnifiedMemory.recall` | `crewai.memory.source_type`, `crewai.memory.depth` |
+| `query knowledge` | `Knowledge.query` / `Knowledge.aquery` | `crewai.knowledge.sources` |
+| `a2a delegate` | `aexecute_a2a_delegation` | `crewai.a2a.endpoint`, `crewai.a2a.is_multiturn`, `crewai.a2a.turn_number` |
+| `agent reason` | `ReasoningHandler.handle_agent_reasoning` | `crewai.agent.role`, `crewai.task.id` |
+| `guard llm` | `LLMGuardrail.__call__` | `crewai.guardrail.type` |
+
+Spans nest naturally — a `call tool` span sits inside its `execute agent`
+parent, which sits inside `execute task`, which sits inside `execute crew`.
+
+## Correlating logs with traces
+
+Because crewAI uses the OpenTelemetry API everywhere, any
+`logging.getLogger(...)` call made inside an active crewAI span will
+automatically inherit the active `trace_id` and `span_id` once you attach
+the OTel `LoggingHandler` to the root logger:
+
+```python
+import logging
+
+from opentelemetry.sdk._logs import LoggerProvider, LoggingHandler
+from opentelemetry.sdk._logs.export import BatchLogRecordProcessor
+from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http._log_exporter import OTLPLogExporter
+
+log_provider = LoggerProvider()
+log_provider.add_log_record_processor(BatchLogRecordProcessor(OTLPLogExporter()))
+logging.getLogger().addHandler(LoggingHandler(level=logging.INFO, logger_provider=log_provider))
+```
+
+Now every log line emitted while a span is active carries the span's
+identifiers, letting you jump from a trace to its logs (and back) in
+your observability backend.
+
+## Sampler configuration
+
+`TracerProvider` defaults to sampling every span. For production workloads
+you'll usually want head sampling. The most common choices:
+
+```python
+from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.sampling import ParentBased, TraceIdRatioBased
+
+# Sample 10% of root traces, but always inherit the parent's decision so a
+# downstream service can force-sample its callers.
+sampler = ParentBased(root=TraceIdRatioBased(0.1))
+provider = TracerProvider(sampler=sampler)
+```
+
+```python
+# "Always sample errors": let your application escalate sampling for
+# specific traces by setting `trace.get_current_span().set_attribute(...)`
+# and pairing TraceIdRatioBased with a custom sampler that promotes a
+# trace to "RECORD_AND_SAMPLE" when an error attribute is set.
+```
+
+For testing, swap in `ALWAYS_ON` or `ALWAYS_OFF`:
+
+```python
+from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.sampling import ALWAYS_ON
+
+provider = TracerProvider(sampler=ALWAYS_ON)
+```
+
+## Adding custom attributes
+
+You can enrich crewAI spans from anywhere in user code (a tool, a
+callback, a custom Flow method) using the standard OpenTelemetry API:
+
+```python
+from opentelemetry import trace
+
+def my_tool(...):
+ span = trace.get_current_span()
+ span.set_attribute("myapp.tenant_id", tenant_id)
+ span.set_attribute("myapp.request_priority", "high")
+ ...
+```
+
+These attributes attach to whichever crewAI span is currently active
+(usually the surrounding `call tool` span).
+
+## Disabling
+
+There are two equally valid ways to disable instrumentation:
+
+- **Do not install a `TracerProvider`.** Spans become no-ops with
+ near-zero cost.
+- **Install a sampler that always returns "drop".** Useful when you have
+ one provider you want to keep around for other services:
+
+ ```python
+ from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
+ from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.sampling import ALWAYS_OFF
+
+ provider = TracerProvider(sampler=ALWAYS_OFF)
+ trace.set_tracer_provider(provider)
+ ```
+
+You can also set `OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=true` in the environment — the SDK
+honors it and returns no-op tracers regardless of what you configure.
+
+## Continuity across HITL resume
+
+When a `Flow` resumes after a Human-in-the-Loop pause, the resumed trace
+is causally related to the paused trace but not in a parent/child
+relationship. crewAI exposes a `follows_from` helper for this:
+
+```python
+from crewai.telemetry.otel import follows_from, operation
+
+with operation("resume flow", links=[follows_from(prev_trace_id, prev_span_id)]):
+ ...
+```
+
+The link carries the `crewai.link.type = "follows_from"` attribute so
+downstream tooling can render it as a causal-but-not-parent edge.
