Capture Spans from OpenTelemetry APIs for SolidStart

To capture spans that your code or a library creates through @opentelemetry/api, set enableOpenTelemetrySetup: true. Sentry registers an OpenTelemetry-compatible tracer provider, context manager, and propagator. Spans created through @opentelemetry/api become native Sentry spans. Sentry's tracing configuration controls sampling and export.

import * as Sentry from "___SDK_PACKAGE___";
import { trace } from "@opentelemetry/api";

Sentry.init({
  dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
  enableOpenTelemetrySetup: true,
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

const tracer = trace.getTracer("my-app");

tracer.startActiveSpan("process-order", (span) => {
  try {
    // Your synchronous work here.
  } finally {
    span.end();
  }
});

import * as Sentry from "___SDK_PACKAGE___";
import { trace } from "@opentelemetry/api";

Sentry.init({
  dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
  enableOpenTelemetrySetup: true,
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

const tracer = trace.getTracer("my-app");

tracer.startActiveSpan("process-order", (span) => {
  try {
    // Your synchronous work here.
  } finally {
    span.end();
  }
});

Initialize Sentry before the application creates spans. This setup sends spans through Sentry's transport; it does not create an OTLP exporter. If your application already registers an OpenTelemetry provider, use your own OpenTelemetry pipeline instead. Sentry will not replace an existing provider.

Most server SDKs leave enableOpenTelemetrySetup off by default. The @sentry/nextjs and @sentry/sveltekit SDKs enable it by default to capture spans emitted by those frameworks.
