Users of OpenTelemetry need a way to disable the API from actually performing any operations. The No-Op OpenTelemetry API implementation (henceforth referred to as the No-Op) provides users with this functionally. It implements the OpenTelemetry Logs API so that no telemetry is produced and computation resources are minimized.
All language implementations of OpenTelemetry MUST provide a No-Op.
The Logs API defines components with various operations. All No-Op components MUST NOT hold configuration or operational state. All No-op operations MUST accept all defined parameters, MUST NOT validate any arguments received, and MUST NOT return any non-empty error or log any message.
The No-Op MUST allow the creation of multiple LoggerProviderss.
Since all LoggerProviderss hold the same empty state, a No-Op MAY
provide the same LoggerProvider instances to all creation requests.
New Logger instances are always created with a LoggerProvider.
Therefore, LoggerProvider MUST allow for the creation of Loggers.
All Loggers created MUST be an instance of the No-Op Logger.
Since all Loggers will hold the same empty state, a LoggerProvider MAY
return the same Logger instances to all creation requests.
The No-Op Logger MUST allow
for emitting LogRecords.
MUST always return false.
