It automatically captures gRPC call metadata, timing, and errors, feeding that telemetry into your OpenTelemetry pipeline for centralized observability. The package depends on opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions, and wrapt to hook into gRPC calls without requiring code changes to your service logic.\n\nIt's designed for developers building microservices or distributed systems where gRPC is the communication layer and you need visibility into call patterns, latencies, and failures. The instrumentation runs as middleware, so once installed and configured with an OpenTelemetry exporter, your gRPC traffic automatically flows into your observability backend (Jaeger, Datadog, etc.).","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using OpenTelemetry and gRPC Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. It's a standard instrumentation module in the OpenTelemetry ecosystem. Install it only if you need gRPC tracing; it adds no value without an OpenTelemetry exporter configured downstream."},"id":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-grpc","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-grpc","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-grpc.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-grpc/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-grpc","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenTelemetry gRPC instrumentation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":18823398,"position":1077,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.65b0"}
