Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗

Steps

  1. Review the current OTel profiling signal specification status before building production dependencies on it
  2. Use the OTel Collector build that includes the experimental profiling receiver and exporter components
  3. Configure the profiling pipeline in the Collector config alongside the existing traces, metrics, and logs pipelines
  4. Map pprof-format profiles to the OTel profiling data model fields for stack frames and profile types
  5. Link profiles to traces using shared trace and span IDs so flame graphs can be accessed from trace views
