  • I have added tests that cover my changes.
  • If adding a new instrumentation or changing an existing one, I've added screenshots from some observability platform showing the change.
  • PR name follows conventional commits format: feat(instrumentation): ... or fix(instrumentation): ....
  • (If applicable) I have updated the documentation accordingly.

I was trying to understand how openllmetry works under the hood so I created a diagram for it using code-canvas.com. I think it will be pretty helpful for contributors to quickly onboard to the inner-works of openllmetry.

Here is the generated diagram for openllmetry grouped by the application's use-cases and their runtime data flows:
Open openllmetry's interactive diagram

I built code canvas to simulate a senior engineer who have been working on openllmetry's codebase for pretty long and can explain to you any functionality of the repository visually through diagrams.

Here is what users are saying about codecanvas

"I used to spend 4 hours asking GPT how a use case in a codebase works and I keep going back and forth until I am able to draw a diagram to summarize my understanding,
CodeCanvas gives me that diagram in 40 seconds"


Some Notes:

  • The diagram is already generated for openllmetry, completely free, no monthly subscription. Consider it as my contribution to help fellow contributors lower their context onboarding friction before they can start contributing.
  • The diagram file is stored in the repository itself, so the readme link will only work after merging. Until then, you can view the diagram from the link I shared above.
  • Read the 1 pager guide to learn how to refine simulations to capture specific codebase logics you might want to cover.
  • I am aware the mapping to the source code is shiften a couple lines off in some cases, I am working on fixing the bug asap.
  • You can reach me out anytime on discord discord.gg/t3ezMyMPqr

Important

  • Documentation:
    • Adds a section in README.md linking to an interactive CodeCanvas diagram for openllmetry.
    • Includes a screenshot and instructions for refining or creating new dataflow simulations.

Walkthrough

Added a new README section titled "How does openllmetry work under the hood?" in the Contributing area, including a CodeCanvas interactive walkthrough link and an inline screenshot image. No code or exported API changes.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Documentation
README.md
Inserted a "How does `openllmetry` work under the hood?" section with an external CodeCanvas walkthrough link and an inline screenshot, positioned within the Contributing area (between intro and Getting Started).

Estimated code review effort

🎯 1 (Trivial) | ⏱️ ~3 minutes

  • Verify external CodeCanvas link(s) load and are correct
  • Confirm inline image renders and is not broken
  • Check README formatting and placement consistency

Poem

🐰 I hopped through docs to add a view,
A Canvas bright with pathways true,
Beneath the hood the currents play,
I sketched the map to light the way,
Hooray for clarity—snack time too! 🥕

1. README.md:63
  • Draft comment:
    Verify that the CodeCanvas URL parameters (repo, owner, branch) correctly reference the official repository details to avoid broken links post-merge.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Comment did not seem useful. Confidence is useful = 0% <= threshold 50% The comment is asking the PR author to verify the correctness of URL parameters, which falls under asking the author to double-check things. This violates the rules.
2. README.md:67
  • Draft comment:
    Consider using a more descriptive alt text for the diagram image to improve accessibility (e.g., detailing it's an interactive CodeCanvas walkthrough for openllmetry).
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 30% vs. threshold = 50% This is a comment about accessibility improvement for alt text on a newly added image. While accessibility is important, I need to consider: 1) Is this a clear code change requirement or just a suggestion? 2) The rules state not to comment on "obvious or unimportant" things. 3) The rules say comments should be about clear code changes required, not just nice-to-haves. 4) Alt text improvements are somewhat subjective - "CodeCanvas Screenshot" is technically descriptive, even if not ideal. 5) This is more of a quality/best practice suggestion rather than a bug or clear issue. The alt text improvement is a valid accessibility concern and the suggestion is actionable. The current alt text is generic but not technically wrong. This could be considered a code quality improvement rather than a critical issue, and the rules emphasize not making comments unless there's clearly a code change required. While accessibility is important, this falls into the category of a "nice to have" improvement rather than a clear code defect. The current alt text does describe what the image is (a CodeCanvas screenshot), even if it could be more descriptive. This is more of a subjective quality suggestion than a required change. This comment should be deleted. While the accessibility suggestion has merit, it's a subjective quality improvement rather than a clear code change requirement. The current alt text is functional and descriptive enough, making this comment fall into the "not clearly required" category per the rules.
3. README.md:67
  • Draft comment:
    The image width is fixed at 1916 which might not display well on smaller screens. Consider making the image responsive or using a max-width style.
  • Reason this comment was not posted:
    Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 10% vs. threshold = 50% This comment is about UI/styling - specifically making an image responsive. According to the rules, I should "NOT comment on any pure frontend UI or styling changes, only logic. Assume that if the author changed the UI, they did it correctly." The comment is purely about styling/presentation (responsive design) and not about logic. Additionally, other images in the same README use fixed widths without responsive styling, suggesting this is an intentional pattern in this file. The author added this image with a fixed width, and I should assume they did it correctly per the rules. However, this is a README file, not typical frontend code, and responsive images in documentation could be considered a best practice. The comment is actionable and provides a specific code suggestion. Maybe documentation styling is different from UI styling? While documentation might be slightly different, the rule clearly states to not comment on UI or styling changes and to assume the author did it correctly. The README already has other images with fixed widths, showing this is an accepted pattern. This is purely a styling suggestion with no functional impact, and the rules explicitly say not to make such comments. This comment should be deleted because it's purely about UI/styling (responsive image design) and the rules explicitly state not to comment on frontend UI or styling changes. The author intentionally added the image with a fixed width, consistent with other images in the file, and we should assume they did it correctly.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Use descriptive link text instead of "here".

The link on line 185 uses "here" as anchor text, which is not descriptive per Markdown best practices. Improve the link text to convey its purpose.

Apply this diff to use more descriptive link text:

-Check out this interactive walkthrough of the `openllmetry` codebase on CodeCanvas [here](https://www.code-canvas.com/?session=unauthenticatedGithub&repo=openllmetry&owner=traceloop&branch=main&OnboardingTutorial=true). +Check out this [interactive CodeCanvas walkthrough of the `openllmetry` codebase](https://www.code-canvas.com/?session=unauthenticatedGithub&repo=openllmetry&owner=traceloop&branch=main&OnboardingTutorial=true).

This moves the meaningful context ("interactive CodeCanvas walkthrough") into the link text itself, making the document more navigable and accessible.

In README.md around lines 183 to 188, the link anchor uses the non-descriptive word "here"; replace the anchor text with a descriptive phrase such as "interactive CodeCanvas walkthrough of the openllmetry codebase" so the Markdown link reads with meaningful context and improves accessibility and navigability (update only the link text, preserving the URL).
