Controlling Instrumentation Capabilities

The operator allows specifying, via the flags, which languages the Instrumentation resource may instrument. If a language is enabled by default its gate only needs to be supplied when disabling the gate. Language support can be disabled by passing the flag with a value of false.

Language	Gate	Default Value
Java	enable-java-instrumentation	true
NodeJS	enable-nodejs-instrumentation	true
Python	enable-python-instrumentation	true
DotNet	enable-dotnet-instrumentation	true
ApacheHttpD	enable-apache-httpd-instrumentation	true
Go	enable-go-instrumentation	false
Nginx	enable-nginx-instrumentation	false

OpenTelemetry Operator allows to instrument multiple containers using multiple language specific instrumentations. These features can be enabled using the enable-multi-instrumentation flag. By default flag is false.
