Class NodeSDK

A setup helper for the OpenTelemetry SDKs (logs, metrics, traces).

After successful setup using (), use `@opentelemetry/api` to obtain the registered components.

Use the shutdown handler () to ensure your telemetry is exported before the process exits.

Example: Register SDK by using environment variables 

   const nodeSdk = new NodeSDK(); // providing no options uses OTEL_* environment variables for SDK setup.
   nodeSdk.start(); // registers all configured SDK components

Example: Override environment variable config with your own components 

   const nodeSdk = new NodeSDK({
     // override the list of metric reader with your own options and ignore environment variable config
     // explore the docs of other options to learn more!
     metricReaders: [ new PeriodicExportingMetricReader({
       exporter: new OTLPMetricsExporter()
       })]
   });
   nodeSdk.start(); // registers all configured SDK components
