   Airflow recently release support for Otel traces, which emits trace in otel, 
if you haven’t tried. It does not replace the metrics but adds additional 
details on how dags are running, so might be an option.Sent from my iPhoneOn

   @howardyoo mhm, switching all metrics to traces would be a huge re-write in 
the core and be a breaking change towards StatsD. I think this is not a easy 
fix and would change the strategy completely. Reading the comments I rather 
fear that we have a general conceptual problem is metrics are "just not 
working". And for Airflow we need to assume we have a distributed environment. 
Relying on singletons is... how are other applications implementing this? 
Airflow can not be the first using Otel?—Reply to this email directly, view it
