EDOT PHP makes it easier to get started using OpenTelemetry in your PHP applications through strictly OpenTelemetry-native means, while also providing a smooth and rich out-of-the-box experience with [Elastic Observability](https://www.elastic.co/observability). It's an explicit goal of this distribution to introduce **no new concepts** beyond those defined by the wider OpenTelemetry community. With EDOT PHP, you get all the features of the OpenTelemetry PHP agent, plus: - SDK improvements and bug fixes contributed by the Elastic team _before_ they are available upstream in OpenTelemetry repositories. - Optional features that enhance OpenTelemetry data sent to Elastic. - Preconfigured collection of tracing signals - The OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP) exporter enabled out of the box. 📚 **Want to get started?** Check out the official documentation at [https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/php](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/php)
