Meta's reference implementation of telemetry and observability using OpenTelemetry.

## Configuration

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `otel_exporter_otlp_endpoint` | `str \| None` | No |  | The OpenTelemetry collector endpoint URL (base URL for traces, metrics, and logs). If not set, the SDK will use OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT environment variable. |
| `service_name` | `<class 'str'>` | No | ​ | The service name to use for telemetry |
| `sinks` | `list[inline.telemetry.meta_reference.config.TelemetrySink` | No | [&lt;TelemetrySink.SQLITE: 'sqlite'&gt;] | List of telemetry sinks to enable (possible values: otel_trace, otel_metric, sqlite, console) |
| `sqlite_db_path` | `<class 'str'>` | No | ~/.llama/runtime/trace_store.db | The path to the SQLite database to use for storing traces |

## Sample Configuration

```yaml
service_name: "${env.OTEL_SERVICE_NAME:=\u200B}"
sinks: ${env.TELEMETRY_SINKS:=sqlite}
sqlite_db_path: ${env.SQLITE_STORE_DIR:=~/.llama/dummy}/trace_store.db
otel_exporter_otlp_endpoint: ${env.OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT:=}
```
