Tracing with OpenTelemetry
-==================================
+==========================
+
This library uses `OpenTelemetry `_ to automatically generate traces providing insight on calls to Cloud Spanner.
For information on the benefits and utility of tracing, see the `Cloud Trace docs `_.
-To take advantage of these traces, we first need to install opentelemetry:

.. code-block:: sh
pip install opentelemetry-api opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-instrumentation
-We also need to tell OpenTelemetry which exporter to use. For example, to export python-spanner traces to `Cloud Tracing `_, add the following lines to your application:
+ # [Optional] Installs the cloud monitoring exporter, however you can use any exporter of your choice
+ pip install opentelemetry-exporter-google-cloud
