A new format, otlp: OpenTelemetry traces and logs as OTLP JSON - #230
Two kinds of telemetry, one to a file (signal): spans or log records.
Three layouts (formatting): one batch on each line, which is what the OTLP file exporter writes and the Collector's file receiver reads, or the whole file as one request for an OTLP endpoint, minified or indented.
Settings: batch (1 to 1000, 512 by default), start (the moment the data begins), rate, and for spans depth and status_mix, for log records level_mix and trace_context. A setting that shapes the other signal is refused when it was chosen.
What a file holds: a trace is a chain of spans, an HTTP server span with the attributes of the semantic conventions 1.45.0 and the work inside it, each child inside its parent. A span is an error from a response code of 500. One resource and one scope.
Exact size: whole records fill the file and the tfg.padding attribute of the last one takes the remainder.
Metrics and the spellings readers disagree about (base64 ids, enum names, snake case) are not part of this change.
Why it is written the way it is
Measured on the OpenTelemetry Collector 0.165.0 before any code:
Its file receiver drops a line longer than 1 048 576 B, a file with a byte order mark and an indented document without a word in its log. So a file laid out in lines never holds a longer one, and a guard measures the bound.
Its HTTP receiver answers 200 to a file of several lines and keeps the first.
It reads an enum written as a name and keys in snake case, both of which the specification forbids. So "the Collector read it" proves little, and the oracle asks for more: what the Collector writes back has to equal what went in, byte for byte. A file laid out as one request is compared with the whitespace between its tokens taken out, because the Collector writes none. That fixes the key order, the omitted zero values and "status":{} on every span.
How it is checked
TestEveryOTLPSettingSurvivesItsReferenceTool starts the Collector on every case and compares bytes. The reference tools step of CI takes otelcol-contrib 0.165.0 out of the image the project publishes, pinned by digest.
TestAnOTLPFileIsWhatItsSettingsSay hands every case to the structural checker with its settings: the layout byte for byte, the batches, the clock, the depth of the traces, the mixes, the padding on the last record only.
TestNoOTLPLineIsLongerThanTheFileReceiverReads, and two guards for the refusals.
Nine golden values pin the bytes.
A generated file posted to Jaeger 2.23.0 came back from its query API as the 40 spans, 14 traces, 26 children and 4 errors the file holds.
What changes for existing files
No generated byte of any other format moves.
empty-and-minimal gains an otlp target, so its recipe_hash changes and the files that follow otlp in the run take the next id. The changelog says so under Changed, the way it did for every format added before.
zero-head on a log now says the outcome depends on the reader. Measured: a reader of lines fails on the first line and reads the rest. The same holds for otlp laid out in lines, and truncate and append-junk say it for otlp where the Collector was measured keeping what it could read.
Also in here
The caller of the structural checker moved from oracle.go to strict.go, because the file passed its length ceiling. The ceiling went down to the new longest file.
The site and the social card count 32 formats. The site has a word for the new kind of setting in 22 languages, and the window has Polish wording for the settings and refusals.
This touches .github/workflows/ci.yml.
After the first review
Four guards were red on all three systems and none of them had been run before the push. The ids are drawn through the primitive every format takes its random bytes from, with the same draws in the same order, so the nine pinned files are the same bytes. CI no longer downloads from another repository's release address. The seeds are swept for the settings that shape log records. The guard on the damage command had zero-head as its control, and every damage declares a case now, so the control is that a description carries no other damage's reason.
The structural check refuses what a JSON reader lets through.NaN and Infinity in a value nothing else looked at passed as a sound file. A document nested past what the decoder walks, and a setting handed to the check as a word or out of range, ended in an exception. Each is a refusal with a reason now, and a guard hands the check all of them.
Two sentences of the changelog said of every layout what holds for a file of lines: that it comes back byte for byte, and that no line passes 1 MiB.
The refusal of a file that would run past the year 2262 says what to do in the sentence a command line prints.
The oracle counts its time from the start of its script, so it ends inside the minute its caller allows and leaves no Collector running.
Not changed: an indented file still gets a name ending .jsonl. The extension is one constant for a format, read in more than thirty places, so following the layout is a change to the engine and not to this format. formatting says what such a file is.
Built with Go 1.27.4, which fixes GO-2026-6859 in net/http. Only the window links that package. The byte stability guards pass under it.
Added OpenTelemetry Protocol JSON as a supported format for generating trace spans or log records, with configurable layouts, batching, timestamps, and other settings.
Added OTLP to the “all formats” option and the “empty-and-minimal” preset.
Expanded format listings and preset summaries to reflect the new format.
Documentation
Documented OTLP settings, output limits, and preset changes. Clarified that zeroed file headers may be handled differently by readers.
…en the way the Collector writes them back
The format:
- tfg generate --format otlp writes spans or log records to an exact size,
one kind to a file (signal). The default layout is the OTLP file exporter's,
one batch on each line, and minified and indented write one request for an
OTLP endpoint.
- A trace is a chain of depth spans: an HTTP server span named after its
method and route, with the attributes of the semantic conventions 1.45.0,
and the work inside it. A span is an error from a response code of 500.
A log record carries a severity of the mix, the function and line it was
written at and, with trace_context, the trace and span it belongs to.
- Whole records fill the file and the tfg.padding attribute of the last one
takes the remainder. No line is longer than 1 MiB, the longest the
Collector's file receiver reads, so batch stops at 1000.
- start names the moment the data begins, in the years 2002 to 2199, and a
file that would run past the last moment a time can name is refused.
- A setting that shapes the other signal, or a batch beside a layout without
batches, is refused when it was chosen and passes at its default.
How it is checked:
- The oracle starts the OpenTelemetry Collector on the file and compares what
its file exporter writes back with what went in, byte for byte. CI gets
the Collector 0.165.0 from its release, pinned by checksum.
- The structural checker rebuilds the text of the layout from the file's own
content and checks the batches, the clock, the depth of the traces, the
mixes and where the padding sits.
- The caller of the structural checker moved out of oracle.go into strict.go.
Damages:
- truncate on an otlp file of lines, append-junk on any otlp file and
zero-head on an otlp file of lines say the outcome depends on the reader:
measured, the Collector keeps the whole lines and drops the rest silently.
- zero-head on a log says the same. A reader of lines fails on the first
line and reads the rest.
Around it: empty-and-minimal gains an otlp target, the site and its social
card count 32 formats, the window lists the format, Polish wording for its
settings and refusals, and the site has a word for the new kind of setting
in 22 languages.

The new OTLP format looks sound. Before or soon after merge, tighten the changelog wording about byte-for-byte output and the 1 MiB limit so it covers only line-oriented output, and harden the structural checker against nonstandard JSON numbers and invalid numeric settings.

Prior failure addressed: Commit 00dd942 moved “Choose an earlier start, a higher rate or a smaller file” into the reason in internal/format/otlp/settings.go. PropertyValueError.Error() includes that reason, and generate prints it through describeError.

Full details: No Obvious Performance Problems
Explanation
The new OTLP reference test starts a Collector for each of 81 files (internal/guard/otlp_test.go:120-127). Each successful run waits at least 0.8 seconds (internal/oracle/otelscripts.go:125-133), adding at least 64.8 seconds of serial waits to the fidelity job. The checker already accepts multiple batches per file. The prior failure remains unresolved.
Resolution
Batch test inputs by signal and reuse a Collector process. Compare each returned batch with its input and retain file-level failure diagnostics.
Full details: Safe File Parsing
Explanation
The new Collector checker uses unbounded f.read() for input and output, then copies the data with split() and join() (internal/oracle/otelscripts.go:73–101,117–123). A large OTLP file can exhaust memory before the timeout. The new structural check also receives the entire file through handle.read() and makes further copies (internal/oracle/strict.py:4224–4247,4550–4552). The earlier JSON recursion concern was addressed: both checkers now catch RecursionError.
Resolution
Replace unbounded read() calls with bounded incremental reads. Stream line-oriented batch comparisons and enforce a size limit for single-document input. Apply bounded input handling to the structural OTLP check as well.
Full details: No Resource Leaks
Explanation
The Collector process can still remain running after a timeout. internal/oracle/otelscripts.go:116-160 relies on Python to stop the Collector and remove its temporary directory. The new 40-second budget does not guarantee cleanup: a slow file read or a backward clock adjustment can delay it until Checker.Check kills Python at 60 seconds (internal/oracle/oracle.go:54-68). The reference-tool test calls this checker.
Resolution
Make the outer timeout stop and wait for the Collector as well as Python. Remove the temporary directory after the Collector exits, including when the outer timeout fires.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Document which layout each Collector receiver accepts.
The default record-per-line file can contain multiple batches. If a user posts it as one request, the Collector keeps only the first line. Its file receiver also reads nothing from an indented file. Document these consequences and tell users to choose minified or indented for an endpoint request. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
As per path instructions, the README is “the user-facing reference for format behavior”.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @CHANGELOG.md:
- Around line 24-25: Update the changelog statement about byte-for-byte output
to limit that claim to line-oriented layouts; state that single-request layouts
are compared after whitespace normalization.
- Line 25: Qualify the 1 MiB statement in the changelog so it applies only to
record-per-line output; clarify that minified single-line requests can exceed
the default file receiver’s limit.
Review comments at @internal/format/otlp/otlp.go:
- Around line 34-39: Update the default filename extension selection so the
indented layout uses `.json` and the line-oriented layout retains `.jsonl`;
preserve explicitly configured name templates without rewriting their
extensions.
Review comments at @internal/oracle/strict.py:
- Around line 4207-4209: Update the JSON parsing handler around json.loads to
catch RecursionError as well as ValueError and return a clear FAIL verdict
through fail, rather than allowing deeply nested input to crash judge; preserve
the existing parse-error handling.
- Around line 4424-4427: Validate the batch, rate, and depth settings before
using them: reject nonnumeric values and values outside their existing declared
ranges, ensuring rate and depth are positive. Return FAIL with the accepted
ranges before division or record-shape handling; preserve the existing handling
of other settings.
- Line 4207: Update the JSON parsing at json.loads(text) to reject nonstandard
numeric constants such as NaN and Infinity via parse_constant, before layout
comparison; preserve the existing handling of valid JSON values and records.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- No Obvious Performance Problems:
Batch the test inputs by signal and compare the returned batches with each
input. Reuse a Collector process instead of starting one per file.
- Safe File Parsing:
Replace unbounded `f.read()` with bounded, incremental reads. Use a
depth-limited JSON parser, or catch `RecursionError` and report malformed input.
Apply size limits to single-document input and stream batch comparisons.
- Clear User-Facing Text:
Include the remedy in the CLI error: “Choose an earlier start, a higher rate or
a smaller file.”
- No Resource Leaks:
Make timeout cleanup stop and wait for the Collector process as well as Python.
Remove the temporary directory after the process exits, including when the outer
timeout fires.

## What a change has to satisfy
- **Every change in behaviour comes with a test that fails without it.** A green
suite is not evidence on its own. The question to answer in the pull request
is "which test would go red if this change were undone". Each test in
`internal/guard` is also broken on purpose by an entry in
`internal/guard/mutation/entries.py`, and the `mutation` check on a pull
request runs the entries the change reaches. A new test needs an entry there,
or a line in `internal/guard/mutationcoverage_test.go` saying why it has none.

Never a size close to it, never a quiet rounding. A batch of ten thousand
files is not something anybody checks by hand.

Tests for changed behavior: Warn if the PR changes or adds non-UI runtime behavior (not only docs, CI, config, assets,
pure UI layout or refactor without behavior change) and does not add or update tests
covering that behavior. Also warn if existing tests were deleted, skipped or had
assertions weakened without an explicit justification in the PR description.

## What a change has to satisfy
- **The same recipe and the same seed produce the same bytes**, on every
operating system. Anything that moves the bytes of a generated file is a
breaking change, because it turns other people's test suites red. It is
allowed, and it needs a note in the changelog and a version bump, and the
version is bumped by the maintainer rather than in the pull request.

## Translations
The command line is **English only** and stays that way, translations included.
It goes into scripts and CI logs that other people read, and a message that
changes language with the machine it ran on is a message nobody can search for.

Learning: No hardcoded UI styling: Only if the PR adds or changes GUI code (XAML, Slint, Fyne, Tkinter, WPF code-behind):
warn if new or changed UI code sets colors, fonts, font sizes, margins, paddings, sizes
or corner radii as literal values on individual controls instead of using shared
tokens/resources/styles/theme, or if it adds copy-pasted controls that should be a

209-209: Functional Correctness
Default values do not trigger OTLP conflict validation.
Even if the GUI submits an untouched default, misplaced skips it before checking signal compatibility. The claimed ordinary-run failure does not follow.

Limit the byte-for-byte claim to line-oriented output.
The checker removes whitespace from single-request layouts before sending them to the Collector. The Collector therefore does not write an indented file back byte for byte. State that those layouts are compared after whitespace normalization. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

The default filename ends in .jsonl, but an indented request is not JSON Lines. A JSON Lines reader cannot parse its first line. Use .json for the indented layout, keep .jsonl for the line-oriented layout, and preserve explicit name templates.

…t refuses what a JSON reader lets through, and Go 1.27.4
Guards that were red on the three systems:
- The trace and span ids are drawn through core.FillRandomBE, the primitive
every format takes its random bytes from. The same draws in the same
order, so the nine pinned files are the same bytes.
- CI takes the Collector out of the image the project publishes, pinned by
digest, rather than from a release address of another repository.
- The seeds are swept for level_mix and trace_context beside signal logs.
- The damage command guard had zero-head as its control, the one damage that
declared no format where readers differ. Every damage declares one now, so
the control is that a description carries none of another damage's reasons.
The structural check of otlp:
- NaN and Infinity are refused. CPython's json reads them and writes them
back, so one in a value nothing else looked at passed as a sound file.
- A document nested past what the decoder walks, and a setting handed to the
check as a word or out of its range, are refusals with a reason rather
than an exception.
- The resource and the scope are read value for value.
The oracle counts its time from the start of the script and ends inside the
minute its caller allows, so a Collector is not left running when the caller
stops waiting.
Words:
- The changelog says a file of lines comes back byte for byte and that its
lines stay under 1 MiB. Both were said of every layout.
- formatting says a file laid out as one request is one JSON document
whatever its name ends in.
- The refusal of a file that would run past the year 2262 says what to do in
the sentence a command line prints.
Go 1.27.4: govulncheck reported GO-2026-6859 in net/http, fixed there. Only
the window links net/http. The byte stability guards pass under it.

…rd asks why a file is refused
A span carried its client address and response code through strconv.Itoa,
which builds a new string for every number from 100 up. That was 37292
objects for a 64 MiB file against a budget of 128, and the memory guard
turned CI red on every system. The digits now go into the buffer directly:
26 objects, and the bytes of every golden case are unchanged.
The guard of the OTLP checker asked only whether a file with NaN in it was
refused. With NaN read quietly, a later check still refused it for another
reason, so the mutation run reported the entry as a hole. Every case now
names the reason the refusal has to give.
