Technologies supported by EDOT iOS SDK
The Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry iOS automatically instruments various APIs, frameworks, and application servers. This section lists all supported technologies.
Note - Understanding auto-instrumentation scope
Auto-instrumentation automatically captures telemetry for the frameworks and libraries listed on this page. However, it cannot instrument:
- Custom or proprietary frameworks and libraries
- Closed-source components without instrumentation support
- Application-specific business logic
If your application uses technologies not covered by auto-instrumentation, you have two options:
- Native OpenTelemetry support — Some frameworks and libraries include built-in OpenTelemetry instrumentation provided by the vendor.
- Manual instrumentation — Use the OpenTelemetry API to add custom spans, metrics, and logs for unsupported components.
