EDOT Language SDKs
The Elastic Distributions of OpenTelemetry (EDOT) Language SDKs (aka. application agents) are thin wrappers around corresponding upstream OpenTelemetry SDKs, preconfigured for best experience with Elastic Observability. EDOT Language SDKs are fully compatible with and can be used as a drop-in replacement for upstream OTel SDKs. In addition, EDOT SDKs provide popular, enterprise add-on features and technical support, Elastic APM users might know from classic Elastic APM agents.
Currently, the following EDOT SDKs are availble:
| EDOT SDK | Release Status |
|---|---|
| EDOT .NET | Technical Preview |
| EDOT Java | GA |
| EDOT Node.js | Technical Preview |
| EDOT PHP | Technical Preview |
| EDOT Python | Technical Preview |
| EDOT Android ⤴ | Technical Preview |
| EDOT iOS ⤴ | Technical Preview |
For languages for which Elastic does not offer its own distribution, we recommend using the upstream OTel SDKs:
| Language | Upstream Docs |

| JS / Browser | Vanilla OTel RUM SDK/API |
| Rust | Vanilla OTel Rust SDK/API |
| Ruby | Vanilla OTel Ruby SDK/API |
| Go | Vanilla OTel Go SDK/API |
