Audit Logging

OpenTelemetry has evolved into a widely adopted standard for observability, but lacks support for audit logging purposes such as standardized semantic conventions and delivery guarantees. Together with the OpenTelemetry community, we are working on closing these gaps and making OpenTelemetry fit for audit logging.

• Audit Logging Standard for OpenTelemetry: Establishes a standard for audit logging as part of OpenTelemetry, enabling consistent audit event collection through the existing OTel ecosystem.
• Standardized Semantic Conventions: Standardizes semantic conventions for audit logging, ensuring a common vocabulary and structure across all audit-relevant events.
• Delivery Guarantees: Adds support for different delivery guarantees when processing audit-relevant events, addressing a core gap in OpenTelemetry's current capabilities.
