It automatically captures database operations as distributed traces, allowing you to see MongoDB queries alongside other application telemetry in your observability backend. The instrumentation depends on opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, and opentelemetry-semantic-conventions to provide the tracing infrastructure.\n\nIt's designed for applications that already use OpenTelemetry for application-wide observability and need to extend that visibility into their MongoDB layer. Once installed and initialized, it intercepts pymongo calls and emits spans with operation details, timing, and status information compatible with standard OpenTelemetry exporters.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using OpenTelemetry in your application and need to instrument pymongo. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and carries a permissive license. The beta version status warrants checking release notes before production use, but the recent activity and top-5000 popularity suggest it is stable enough for most use cases."},"id":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymongo","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymongo","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymongo.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymongo/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymongo","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenTelemetry pymongo instrumentation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":5413763,"position":2105,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.65b0"}
