EDOT Python Migration Read the migration guide before making changes: Migration guide EDOT Python setup EDOT Python configuration Guidelines Remove ALL classic APM references: elastic-apm from requirements, ElasticAPM(app) / elasticapm.contrib. from application code, app.config['ELASTIC_APM'] blocks, and all ELASTIC_APM_ env vars Install elastic-opentelemetry via pip (add to requirements.txt or equivalent) Run edot-bootstrap --action=install during image build to install auto-instrumentation packages for detected libraries Wrap the application entrypoint with opentelemetry-instrument — e.g. opentelemetry-instrument gunicorn app:app . Without this, no telemetry is collected Set exactly three required environment variables: OTEL_SERVICE_NAME (replaces ELASTIC_APM_SERVICE_NAME ) OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT — must be the managed OTLP endpoint or EDOT Collector URL. Do NOT reuse the old ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL value. Never use an APM Server URL (no apm-server , no :8200 , no /intake/v2/events ) OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS — "Authorization=ApiKey " or "Authorization=Bearer " (replaces ELASTIC_APM_SECRET_TOKEN ) Do NOT set OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER , OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER , or OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER — the defaults are already correct Never run both classic elastic-apm and EDOT on the same application Examples See the EDOT Python migration guide for complete examples.
