When installed, it automatically wraps MySQL database calls to emit spans that record query execution, allowing you to see database operations in your observability backend alongside application and network traces.\n\nIt is part of the OpenTelemetry Python contrib ecosystem and depends on opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, and opentelemetry-instrumentation-dbapi. The package is in beta status and supports Python 3.10 through 3.14. It requires minimal setup\u2014typically just importing the instrumentation module to activate automatic tracing of mysql-connector calls.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use mysql-connector and need distributed tracing. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and integrates cleanly into the OpenTelemetry ecosystem. Beta status is typical for instrumentation libraries and does not indicate instability. Install it when you are already using OpenTelemetry and want visibility into MySQL queries."},"id":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysql","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysql","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysql.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysql/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysql","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenTelemetry MySQL instrumentation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3476549,"position":2608,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.65b0"}
