Instrument Ruby applications for Splunk Observability Cloud 🔗
Caution
The Splunk Distribution for OpenTelemetry Ruby has been deprecated since March 15, 2024, and it will reach end of support on March 15, 2025. To migrate from the Splunk Ruby agent to the OpenTelemetry instrumentation for Ruby, see Migrate from the Splunk Ruby agent to the OpenTelemetry instrumentation for Ruby.

To instrument your Ruby application, follow these steps:
Check compatibility and requirements. See OpenTelemetry Ruby compatibility and requirements.
Instrument your Ruby application. See Instrument your Ruby application for Splunk Observability Cloud.
Configure your instrumentation. See Configure the Ruby agent.
