@liammcgarrigle introduces Open Telemetry support in n8n for workflow and node traces.

See the docs here: https://go.n8n.io/BgVyR0

This video gives a high level overview of what n8n's otel support means and how to use it. Tracing support in n8n allows your n8n workflows to work with any enterprise observability stack that supports Open Telemetry.

Upgrade to version 2.22.0 or above to get all features highlighted in the video.

The custom telemetry tags shown at 02:05 is an enterprise only feature. Everything else shown in the video is available on all plans, including the free self hosted community edition.
