OTelMe — Local OpenTelemetry Collector

Lightweight OTLP/HTTP receiver that runs inside VS Code, storing traces, metrics, and logs in a local SQLite database — queryable directly from GitHub Copilot.

Features

  • OTLP/HTTP receiver on port 4318 (configurable) — point any OpenTelemetry SDK at http://localhost:4318
  • Local SQLite storage for spans, metrics, and logs
  • Copilot tool integration — use #otelme in Copilot Chat to query your telemetry with SQL
  • Multi-window aware — first VS Code window owns the server; others connect as clients with automatic failover

Getting Started

  1. Install the extension
  2. Your app's OTLP endpoint is ready at http://localhost:4318
  3. Configure your application's OpenTelemetry SDK to export via OTLP/HTTP to that endpoint
  4. Use #otelme in Copilot Chat to query collected telemetry

Configuration

Setting Default Description
otelme.port 4318 Port for the OTLP/HTTP receiver

Commands

  • OTelMe: Copy OTLP Endpoint — copy the receiver URL to clipboard
  • OTelMe: Show Stats — display collected telemetry statistics
  • OTelMe: Clear Telemetry Data — delete all stored telemetry
