What This Skill Does

Instruments Node.js applications with distributed tracing, metrics, and logs using the OpenTelemetry SDK and Azure Monitor as the backend. Connects to Application Insights via a connection string and auto-instruments common libraries like Express, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Supports both auto-instrumentation with a single setup call and manual exporter configuration for custom pipelines. Auto-instrumentation via useAzureMonitor() captures HTTP, database, and Azure SDK calls without manually wrapping each call, which would otherwise require significant boilerplate for each library.
