This page covers the top-level flags that turn on trace export and broader observability behavior in Blnk. These settings are independent from queue monitoring, which exposes a separate HTTP port for queue inspection.
Telemetry and observability flags
Use these boolean flags to opt in to distributed tracing and additional runtime visibility.
BLNK_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=false
BLNK_ENABLE_OBSERVABILITY=false
| Description | Default |
|---|
BLNK_ENABLE_TELEMETRY | When true, Blnk emits trace data suitable for monitoring and APM tools. | false |
BLNK_ENABLE_OBSERVABILITY | When true, Blnk enables additional observability features such as metrics and more detailed logging. | false |
Please note: Telemetry and observability are separate settings. You can enable one without enabling the other, depending on whether you need traces, metrics and deeper logs, or both.
