Revert OpenTelemetry Integration

Why this revert?

Since introducing OpenTelemetry support in v0.7.16, we’ve encountered multiple issues that have impacted both OPAL and its users. These include:

• Bugs in trace collection, leading to incomplete or missing telemetry data.
• Integration difficulties, especially in Alpine Linux environments.
• Documentation gaps, making it harder for users to correctly configure and use OpenTelemetry with OPAL.
• Unexpected stability issues, affecting both open-source users and Permit’s production environment.

These issues have significantly slowed down development and introduced challenges that we weren’t able to fully anticipate before merging the feature.

What’s Next?

• OpenTelemetry will remain available in OPAL v0.7.x, where we’ll continue to apply patches and fixes.
• Starting from OPAL v0.8.x, OpenTelemetry will be removed while we work on refining the implementation.
• Once we’ve improved stability, documentation, and integration, we plan to reintroduce OpenTelemetry in a future release.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through this, and we’re committed to bringing OpenTelemetry back in a way that’s more reliable and user-friendly. If you have feedback or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you!
