Summary
This sets up automatic observability for Java applications using Elastic's OpenTelemetry distribution. You attach the agent JAR with a javaagent flag, point it at your OTLP endpoint (not the old APM server URL), and set three environment variables for service name, endpoint, and auth header. The skill enforces the right patterns because it's easy to mess up: developers often try using the wrong exporter settings or mixing this with the classic Elastic APM agent, which breaks things. Good for greenfield services or migrating off legacy APM tooling. The attached agent automatically captures traces, metrics, and logs without code changes, which is the main appeal of the auto-instrumentation approach.
