OpenTelemetry Pyramid instrumentation
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you run Pyramid applications and need observability. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and integrates cleanly with the OpenTelemetry ecosystem. No known vulnerabilities. The main condition is that you have an OpenTelemetry exporter configured to actually send the collected data somewhere—the instrumentation alone emits signals but does not export them by default.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; Pyramid application must be configured after instrumentation is initialized.
- Low friction install with a wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained as of 2026-07-16 with recent activity.

What it is and what it does
OpenTelemetry Pyramid Instrumentation is a plugin that automatically hooks into Pyramid web applications to emit distributed tracing and metrics data. It wraps HTTP request handling to capture request/response details, timing, and errors without requiring changes to your application code. The package sits on top of the OpenTelemetry API and instrumentation framework, using WSGI instrumentation as its foundation.
Once installed and initialized, it collects observability signals that can be exported to tracing backends (Jaeger, Zipkin, etc.) or metrics systems. It's part of the OpenTelemetry Python contrib ecosystem and targets developers building Pyramid applications who need visibility into request flows, latency, and error rates across distributed systems.
Use it for
- Instrument a Pyramid microservice to emit traces to a central tracing backend for request flow visualization.
- Collect HTTP request metrics (latency, error rates, throughput) from a Pyramid application for alerting.
- Debug slow endpoints in a Pyramid app by correlating traces with application logs via trace IDs.
- Monitor a Pyramid service in a distributed system to track cross-service request propagation.
- Gather performance baselines on Pyramid endpoints before and after code changes.

Install
opentelemetry-instrumentation-pyramid on PyPI
Before you install
Low friction install with a wheel distribution. Actively maintained as of 2026-07-16 with recent activity. Depends on six OpenTelemetry core packages (opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions, opentelemetry-util-http, opentelemetry-instrumentation-wsgi, wrapt), all standard instrumentation infrastructure.
Requires Python 3.10 or later; Pyramid application must be configured after instrumentation is initialized.
