Welcome to the OpenTelemetry Erlang/Elixir documentation. This section introduces
how to use OpenTelemetry with Erlang/Elixir to generate and collect telemetry data
such as metrics, logs, and traces using the OpenTelemetry API and SDKs.

These pages are intended to help you get started and understand the current
capabilities and status of OpenTelemetry Erlang/Elixir.

## Status and Releases

The current status of the major functional components for OpenTelemetry
Erlang/Elixir is as follows:

| Traces              | Metrics              | Logs              |
| ------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------- |
| [Stable](/docs/specs/otel/versioning-and-stability/#stable) | [Development](/docs/specs/otel/versioning-and-stability/#development) | [Development](/docs/specs/otel/versioning-and-stability/#development) |

For releases, including the [latest release][], see [Releases][]. 

Packages of the API, SDK and OTLP exporter are published to
[`hex.pm`](https://hex.pm) as
[`opentelemetry_api`](https://hex.pm/packages/opentelemetry_api),
[`opentelemetry`](https://hex.pm/packages/opentelemetry) and
[`opentelemetry_exporter`](https://hex.pm/packages/opentelemetry_exporter).
