It automatically captures tracing data from pika message operations\u2014publishing, consuming, and queue interactions\u2014and emits them as OpenTelemetry spans that can be exported to tracing backends like Jaeger or Datadog.\n\nThe instrumentation works by wrapping pika's core methods using the wrapt library, so traces flow through your message queue operations without requiring code changes to your pika calls. It depends on the opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, and opentelemetry-semantic-conventions packages to define and emit the spans. This is a beta release (0.65b0) maintained as part of the OpenTelemetry Python contrib project.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using pika and OpenTelemetry in your stack and need visibility into message queue operations. The low install friction, active maintenance, and permissive license make it a straightforward addition. However, note that this is a beta release (0.65b0); verify stability requirements for your use case before deploying to production."},"id":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-pika","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-pika","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-pika.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-pika/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-pika","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenTelemetry pika instrumentation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3957904,"position":2435,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.65b0"}
