This PR implements OpenTelemetry logging to send application logs to an OpenTelemetry collector, as requested in the issue.

Changes Made

Dependencies Added

  • io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-sdk:1.34.1 - Core OpenTelemetry SDK
  • io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-otlp:1.34.1 - OTLP exporter for collector communication
  • io.opentelemetry.instrumentation:opentelemetry-logback-appender-1.0:1.32.0-alpha - Logback integration

New Files

  • OpenTelemetryConfig.scala - Configures OpenTelemetry with OTLP gRPC exporter pointing to 0.0.0.0:4317
  • src/main/resources/logback.xml - Logback configuration with both console and OpenTelemetry appenders

Enhanced Logging

  • Main.scala - Added structured logging for application lifecycle events (startup, OpenTelemetry initialization, database setup)
  • Service.scala - Enhanced insertSensorResult method with structured logging for business events

How It Works

  1. Initialization: OpenTelemetry is initialized early in application startup
  2. Log Processing: All application logs go through SLF4j/Logback as before
  3. Export: Logback forwards logs to OpenTelemetry appender alongside console output
  4. Transmission: OpenTelemetry sends logs via OTLP gRPC protocol to collector at 0.0.0.0:4317
  5. Fallback: If collector is unavailable, logs continue to display in console

OpenTelemetry Configuration

The implementation includes:

  • Batch log record processing for efficiency
  • Enhanced log attributes (code location, MDC, markers, key-value pairs)
  • Automatic cleanup via shutdown hooks
  • Global OpenTelemetry registration for application-wide availability

Testing

Verified that:

  • ✅ Application compiles and starts successfully with OpenTelemetry enabled
  • ✅ Structured logging works throughout the application lifecycle
  • ✅ OpenTelemetry configuration correctly targets the collector endpoint
  • ✅ Logs are properly formatted and enriched with contextual information

The application now automatically sends all logs to the OpenTelemetry collector when available at 0.0.0.0:4317, with graceful degradation when the collector is not reachable.

Fixes #20.

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:
