Revert meter wire format change, defer |m -> |c fix as separate task

The StatsDCollector |m -> |c change is a breaking change for existing
StatsD backends. Reverted to original |m and added TODO comments noting
that Resource Manager warn/drop metrics need this fix to flow through
the OTel StatsD receiver. Marked Phase 6 Task 6.1 as deferred.

+

+
+## What is Distributed Tracing?
+
+Distributed tracing is a method for tracking data objects as they flow through distributed systems. In a network like XRP Ledger, a single transaction touches multiple independent nodes—each with no shared memory or logging. Distributed tracing connects these dots.
+
+**Without tracing:** You see isolated logs on each node with no way to correlate them.
+
+**With tracing:** You see the complete journey of a transaction or an event across all nodes it touched.
+
+---
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### 1. Trace
+
+A **trace** represents the entire journey of a request through the system. It has a unique `trace_id` that stays constant across all nodes.
+
+```
+Trace ID: abc123
+├── Node A: received transaction
+├── Node B: relayed transaction
+├── Node C: included in consensus
+└── Node D: applied to ledger
+```
+
+### 2. Span
+
+A **span** represents a single unit of work within a trace. Each span has:
+
+| Attribute        | Description           | Example                    |
+| ---------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------- |
+| `trace_id`       | Links to parent trace | `abc123`                   |
+| `span_id`        | Unique identifier     | `span456`                  |
+| `parent_span_id` | Parent span (if any)  | `p_span123`                |
+| `name`           | Operation name        | `rpc.submit`               |
+| `start_time`     | When work began       | `2024-01-15T10:30:00Z`     |
+| `end_time`       | When work completed   | `2024-01-15T10:30:00.050Z` |
+| `attributes`     | Key-value metadata    | `tx.hash=ABC...`           |
+| `status`         | OK, ERROR MSG         | `OK`                       |
+
+### 3. Trace Context
+
+**Trace context** is the data that propagates between services to link spans together. It contains:
+
+- `trace_id` - The trace this span belongs to
+- `span_id` - The current span (becomes parent for child spans)
+- `trace_flags` - Sampling decisions
+
+---
+
+## How Spans Form a Trace
+
+Spans have parent-child relationships forming a tree structure:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    subgraph trace["Trace: abc123"]
+        A["tx.submit<br/>span_id: 001<br/>50ms"] --> B["tx.validate<br/>span_id: 002<br/>5ms"]
+        A --> C["tx.relay<br/>span_id: 003<br/>10ms"]
+        A --> D["tx.apply<br/>span_id: 004<br/>30ms"]
+        D --> E["ledger.update<br/>span_id: 005<br/>20ms"]
+    end
+
+    style A fill:#0d47a1,stroke:#082f6a,color:#ffffff
+    style B fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#ffffff
+    style C fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#ffffff
+    style D fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#ffffff
+    style E fill:#bf360c,stroke:#8c2809,color:#ffffff
+```
+
+The same trace visualized as a **timeline (Gantt chart)**:
+
+```
+Time →   0ms    10ms    20ms    30ms    40ms    50ms

+
+## Distributed Traces Across Nodes
+
+In distributed systems like rippled, traces span **multiple independent nodes**. The trace context must be propagated in network messages:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Client
+    participant NodeA as Node A
+    participant NodeB as Node B
+    participant NodeC as Node C
+
+    Client->>NodeA: Submit TX<br/>(no trace context)
+
+    Note over NodeA: Creates new trace<br/>trace_id: abc123<br/>span: tx.receive
+
+    NodeA->>NodeB: Relay TX<br/>(trace_id: abc123, parent: 001)
+
+    Note over NodeB: Creates child span<br/>span: tx.relay<br/>parent_span_id: 001
+
+    NodeA->>NodeC: Relay TX<br/>(trace_id: abc123, parent: 001)
+
+    Note over NodeC: Creates child span<br/>span: tx.relay<br/>parent_span_id: 001
+
+    Note over NodeA,NodeC: All spans share trace_id: abc123<br/>enabling correlation across nodes
+```
+
+---
+
+## Context Propagation
+
+For traces to work across nodes, **trace context must be propagated** in messages.
+
+### What's in the Context (32 bytes)
+
+| Field         | Size       | Description                                             |
+| ------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `trace_id`    | 16 bytes   | Identifies the entire trace (constant across all nodes) |
+| `span_id`     | 8 bytes    | The sender's current span (becomes parent on receiver)  |
+| `trace_flags` | 4 bytes    | Sampling decision flags                                 |
+| `trace_state` | ~0-4 bytes | Optional vendor-specific data                           |
+
+### How span_id Changes at Each Hop
+
+Only **one** `span_id` travels in the context - the sender's current span. Each node:
+
+1. Extracts the received `span_id` and uses it as the `parent_span_id`
+2. Creates a **new** `span_id` for its own span
+3. Sends its own `span_id` as the parent when forwarding
+
+```
+Node A                      Node B                      Node C
+──────                      ──────                      ──────
+
+Span AAA                    Span BBB                    Span CCC
+   │                           │                           │
+   ▼                           ▼                           ▼
+Context out:                Context out:                Context out:
+├─ trace_id: abc123         ├─ trace_id: abc123         ├─ trace_id: abc123
+├─ span_id: AAA ──────────► ├─ span_id: BBB ──────────► ├─ span_id: CCC ──────►
+└─ flags: 01                └─ flags: 01                └─ flags: 01
+                               │                           │
+                          parent = AAA               parent = BBB
+```
+
+The `trace_id` stays constant, but `span_id` **changes at every hop** to maintain the parent-child chain.
+
+### Propagation Formats
+
+There are two patterns:
+
+### HTTP/RPC Headers (W3C Trace Context)
+
+```
+traceparent: 00-abc123def456-span789-01
+             │  │             │      │
+             │  │             │      └── Flags (sampled)
+             │  │             └── Parent span ID
+             │  └── Trace ID
+             └── Version
+```
+
+### Protocol Buffers (rippled P2P messages)
+
+```protobuf
+message TMTransaction {
+    bytes rawTransaction = 1;
+    // ... existing fields ...
+
+    // Trace context extension
+    bytes trace_parent = 100;  // W3C traceparent
+    bytes trace_state = 101;   // W3C tracestate
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Sampling
+
+Not every trace needs to be recorded. **Sampling** reduces overhead:
+
+### Head Sampling (at trace start)
+
+```
+Request arrives → Random 10% chance → Record or skip entire trace
+```
+
+- ✅ Low overhead
+- ❌ May miss interesting traces
+
+### Tail Sampling (after trace completes)
+
+```
+Trace completes → Collector evaluates:
+                  - Error? → KEEP
+                  - Slow? → KEEP
+                  - Normal? → Sample 10%
+```
+
+- ✅ Never loses important traces
+- ❌ Higher memory usage at collector
+
+---
+
+## Key Benefits for rippled
+
+| Challenge                          | How Tracing Helps                        |
+| ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| "Where is my transaction?"         | Follow trace across all nodes it touched |
+| "Why was consensus slow?"          | See timing breakdown of each phase       |
+| "Which node is the bottleneck?"    | Compare span durations across nodes      |
+| "What happened during the outage?" | Correlate errors across the network      |

+## 1.3 Transaction Flow Diagram
+
+Transaction flow spans multiple nodes in the network. Each node creates linked spans to form a distributed trace:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Client
+    participant PeerA as Peer A (Receive)
+    participant PeerB as Peer B (Relay)
+    participant PeerC as Peer C (Validate)
+
+    Client->>PeerA: 1. Submit TX
+
+    rect rgb(230, 245, 255)
+        Note over PeerA: tx.receive SPAN START
+        PeerA->>PeerA: HashRouter Deduplication
+        PeerA->>PeerA: tx.validate (child span)
+    end
+
+    PeerA->>PeerB: 2. Relay TX (with trace ctx)
+
+    rect rgb(230, 245, 255)
+        Note over PeerB: tx.receive (linked span)
+    end
+
+    PeerB->>PeerC: 3. Relay TX
+
+    rect rgb(230, 245, 255)
+        Note over PeerC: tx.receive (linked span)
+        PeerC->>PeerC: tx.process
+    end
+
+    Note over Client,PeerC: DISTRIBUTED TRACE (same trace_id: abc123)
+```
+
+### Trace Structure
+
+```
+trace_id: abc123
+├── span: tx.receive (Peer A)
+│   ├── span: tx.validate
+│   └── span: tx.relay
+├── span: tx.receive (Peer B) [parent: Peer A]
+│   └── span: tx.relay
+└── span: tx.receive (Peer C) [parent: Peer B]
+    └── span: tx.process
+```
+

+
+## 1.4 Consensus Round Flow
+
+Consensus rounds are multi-phase operations that benefit significantly from tracing:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    subgraph round["consensus.round (root span)"]
+        attrs["Attributes:<br/>xrpl.consensus.ledger.seq = 12345678<br/>xrpl.consensus.mode = proposing<br/>xrpl.consensus.proposers = 35"]

+            open_desc["Duration: ~3s<br/>Waiting for transactions"]
+        end
+
+        subgraph establish["consensus.phase.establish"]
+            est_attrs["proposals_received = 28<br/>disputes_resolved = 3"]
+            est_children["├── consensus.proposal.receive (×28)<br/>├── consensus.proposal.send (×1)<br/>└── consensus.dispute.resolve (×3)"]
+        end
+
+        subgraph accept["consensus.phase.accept"]
+            acc_attrs["transactions_applied = 150<br/>ledger.hash = DEF456..."]
+            acc_children["├── ledger.build<br/>└── ledger.validate"]
+        end
+
+        attrs --> open

+
+## 1.5 RPC Request Flow
+
+RPC requests support W3C Trace Context headers for distributed tracing across services:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    subgraph request["rpc.request (root span)"]
+        http["HTTP Request<br/>POST /<br/>traceparent: 00-abc123...-def456...-01"]
+
+        attrs["Attributes:<br/>http.method = POST<br/>net.peer.ip = 192.168.1.100<br/>xrpl.rpc.command = submit"]
+
+        subgraph enqueue["jobqueue.enqueue"]
+            job_attr["xrpl.job.type = jtCLIENT_RPC"]
+        end
+
+        subgraph command["rpc.command.submit"]
+            cmd_attrs["xrpl.rpc.version = 2<br/>xrpl.rpc.role = user"]
+            cmd_children["├── tx.deserialize<br/>├── tx.validate_local<br/>└── tx.submit_to_network"]
+        end
+
+        response["Response: 200 OK<br/>Duration: 45ms"]
+
+        http --> attrs
+        attrs --> enqueue
+        enqueue --> command
+        command --> response
+    end

+## 1.8 Observable Outcomes
+
+After implementing OpenTelemetry, operators and developers will gain visibility into the following:
+
+### 1.8.1 What You Will See: Traces
+
+| Trace Type                 | Description                                                                                 | Example Query in Grafana/Tempo                         |

+| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| **Slow RPC**          | Span showing which phase is slow (parsing, execution, serialization)         | Optimize specific code path      |
+| **Transaction Stuck** | Trace stops at validation; error attribute shows reason                      | Fix transaction parameters       |
+| **Consensus Delay**   | Phase.establish taking too long; proposer attribute shows missing validators | Investigate network connectivity |
+| **Memory Spike**      | Large batch of spans correlating with memory increase                        | Tune batch_size or sampling      |
+| **Network Partition** | Traces missing cross-node links for specific peer                            | Check peer connectivity          |
+
+### 1.8.5 Developer Debugging Workflow
+
+1. **Find Transaction**: Query by `xrpl.tx.hash` to get full trace
+2. **Identify Bottleneck**: Look at span durations to find slowest component
+3. **Check Attributes**: Review `xrpl.tx.validity`, `xrpl.rpc.status` for errors
+4. **Correlate Logs**: Use `trace_id` to find related PerfLog entries
+5. **Compare Nodes**: Filter by `service.instance.id` to compare behavior across nodes

+## 2.1 OpenTelemetry Components
+
+### 2.1.1 SDK Selection
+
+**Primary Choice**: OpenTelemetry C++ SDK (`opentelemetry-cpp`)
+
+| Component                               | Purpose                | Required    |
+| --------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------- |
+| `opentelemetry-cpp::api`                | Tracing API headers    | Yes         |
+| `opentelemetry-cpp::sdk`                | SDK implementation     | Yes         |
+| `opentelemetry-cpp::ext`                | Extensions (exporters) | Yes         |
+| `opentelemetry-cpp::otlp_grpc_exporter` | OTLP/gRPC export       | Recommended |
+| `opentelemetry-cpp::otlp_http_exporter` | OTLP/HTTP export       | Alternative |
+
+### 2.1.2 Instrumentation Strategy
+
+**Manual Instrumentation** (recommended):
+
+| Approach   | Pros                                                              | Cons                                                    |
+| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Manual** | Precise control, optimized placement, rippled-specific attributes | More development effort                                 |
+| **Auto**   | Less code, automatic coverage                                     | Less control, potential overhead, limited customization |

+The following table summarizes what data is collected by category:
+
+| Category        | Attributes Collected                                                 | Purpose                     |
+| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
+| **Transaction** | `tx.hash`, `tx.type`, `tx.result`, `tx.fee`, `ledger_index`          | Trace transaction lifecycle |
+| **Consensus**   | `round`, `phase`, `mode`, `proposers` (public keys), `duration_ms`   | Analyze consensus timing    |
+| **RPC**         | `command`, `version`, `status`, `duration_ms`                        | Monitor RPC performance     |
+| **Peer**        | `peer.id` (public key), `latency_ms`, `message.type`, `message.size` | Network topology analysis   |

+
+### 2.4.4 Privacy & Sensitive Data Policy
+
+OpenTelemetry instrumentation is designed to collect **operational metadata only**, never sensitive content.
+
+#### Data NOT Collected
+
+The following data is explicitly **excluded** from telemetry collection:
+
+| Excluded Data           | Reason                                    |
+| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
+| **Private Keys**        | Never exposed; not relevant to tracing    |
+| **Account Balances**    | Financial data; privacy sensitive         |
+| **Transaction Amounts** | Financial data; privacy sensitive         |
+| **Raw TX Payloads**     | May contain sensitive memo/data fields    |
+| **Personal Data**       | No PII collected                          |
+| **IP Addresses**        | Configurable; excluded by default in prod |
+
+#### Privacy Protection Mechanisms
+
+| Mechanism                     | Description                                                               |
+| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Account Hashing**           | `xrpl.tx.account` is hashed at collector level before storage             |
+| **Configurable Redaction**    | Sensitive fields can be excluded via `[telemetry]` config section         |
+| **Sampling**                  | Only 10% of traces recorded by default, reducing data exposure            |
+| **Local Control**             | Node operators have full control over what gets exported                  |
+| **No Raw Payloads**           | Transaction content is never recorded, only metadata (hash, type, result) |
+| **Collector-Level Filtering** | Additional redaction/hashing can be configured at OTel Collector          |
+
+#### Collector-Level Data Protection
+
+The OpenTelemetry Collector can be configured to hash or redact sensitive attributes before export:
+
+```yaml
+processors:
+  attributes:
+    actions:
+      # Hash account addresses before storage
+      - key: xrpl.tx.account
+        action: hash
+      # Remove IP addresses entirely
+      - key: xrpl.peer.address
+        action: delete
+      # Redact specific fields
+      - key: xrpl.rpc.params
+        action: delete
+```
+
+#### Configuration Options for Privacy
+
+In `rippled.cfg`, operators can control data collection granularity:
+
+```ini
+[telemetry]
+enabled=1
+
+# Disable collection of specific components
+trace_transactions=1
+trace_consensus=1
+trace_rpc=1
+trace_peer=0          # Disable peer tracing (high volume, includes addresses)
+
+# Redact specific attributes
+redact_account=1      # Hash account addresses before export
+redact_peer_address=1 # Remove peer IP addresses
+```
+
+> **Key Principle**: Telemetry collects **operational metadata** (timing, counts, hashes) — never **sensitive content** (keys, balances, amounts, raw payloads).

+## 2.6 Integration with Existing Observability
+
+### 2.6.1 Existing Frameworks Comparison
+
+rippled already has two observability mechanisms. OpenTelemetry complements (not replaces) them:
+
+| Aspect                | PerfLog                       | Beast Insight (StatsD)       | OpenTelemetry             |
+| --------------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------- |
+| **Type**              | Logging                       | Metrics                      | Distributed Tracing       |
+| **Data**              | JSON log entries              | Counters, gauges, histograms | Spans with context        |
+| **Scope**             | Single node                   | Single node                  | **Cross-node**            |
+| **Output**            | `perf.log` file               | StatsD server                | OTLP Collector            |
+| **Question answered** | "What happened on this node?" | "How many? How fast?"        | "What was the journey?"   |
+| **Correlation**       | By timestamp                  | By metric name               | By `trace_id`             |
+| **Overhead**          | Low (file I/O)                | Low (UDP packets)            | Low-Medium (configurable) |
+
+### 2.6.2 What Each Framework Does Best
+
+#### PerfLog
+
+- **Purpose**: Detailed local event logging for RPC and job execution
+- **Strengths**:
+  - Rich JSON output with timing data
+  - Already integrated in RPC handlers
+  - File-based, no external dependencies
+- **Limitations**:
+  - Single-node only (no cross-node correlation)
+  - No parent-child relationships between events
+  - Manual log parsing required
+
+```json
+// Example PerfLog entry
+{
+  "time": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.123Z",
+  "method": "submit",
+  "duration_us": 1523,
+  "result": "tesSUCCESS"
+}
+```
+
+#### Beast Insight (StatsD)
+
+- **Purpose**: Real-time metrics for monitoring dashboards
+- **Strengths**:
+  - Aggregated metrics (counters, gauges, histograms)
+  - Low overhead (UDP, fire-and-forget)
+  - Good for alerting thresholds
+- **Limitations**:
+  - No request-level detail
+  - No causal relationships
+  - Single-node perspective
+
+```cpp
+// Example StatsD usage in rippled
+insight.increment("rpc.submit.count");
+insight.gauge("ledger.age", age);
+insight.timing("consensus.round", duration);
+```
+
+#### OpenTelemetry (NEW)
+
+- **Purpose**: Distributed request tracing across nodes
+- **Strengths**:
+  - **Cross-node correlation** via `trace_id`
+  - Parent-child span relationships
+  - Rich attributes per span
+  - Industry standard (CNCF)
+- **Limitations**:
+  - Requires collector infrastructure
+  - Higher complexity than logging
+
+```cpp
+// Example OpenTelemetry span
+auto span = telemetry.startSpan("tx.relay");
+span->SetAttribute("tx.hash", hash);
+span->SetAttribute("peer.id", peerId);
+// Span automatically linked to parent via context
+```
+
+### 2.6.3 When to Use Each
+
+| Scenario                                | PerfLog    | StatsD | OpenTelemetry |
+| --------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------ | ------------- |
+| "How many TXs per second?"              | ❌         | ✅     | ❌            |
+| "What's the p99 RPC latency?"           | ❌         | ✅     | ✅            |
+| "Why was this specific TX slow?"        | ⚠️ partial | ❌     | ✅            |
+| "Which node delayed consensus?"         | ❌         | ❌     | ✅            |
+| "What happened on node X at time T?"    | ✅         | ❌     | ✅            |
+| "Show me the TX journey across 5 nodes" | ❌         | ❌     | ✅            |
+

+
+### 2.6.5 Correlation with PerfLog
+
+Trace IDs can be correlated with existing PerfLog entries for comprehensive debugging:
+
+```cpp
+// In RPCHandler.cpp - correlate trace with PerfLog
+Status doCommand(RPC::JsonContext& context, Json::Value& result)
+{
+    // Start OpenTelemetry span
+    auto span = context.app.getTelemetry().startSpan(
+        "rpc.command." + context.method);
+
+    // Get trace ID for correlation
+    auto traceId = span->GetContext().trace_id().IsValid()
+        ? toHex(span->GetContext().trace_id())
+        : "";
+
+    // Use existing PerfLog with trace correlation
+    auto const curId = context.app.getPerfLog().currentId();
+    context.app.getPerfLog().rpcStart(context.method, curId);
+
+    // Future: Add trace ID to PerfLog entry
+    // context.app.getPerfLog().setTraceId(curId, traceId);
+
+    try {
+        auto ret = handler(context, result);
+        context.app.getPerfLog().rpcFinish(context.method, curId);
+        span->SetStatus(opentelemetry::trace::StatusCode::kOk);
+        return ret;
+    } catch (std::exception const& e) {
+        context.app.getPerfLog().rpcError(context.method, curId);
+        span->RecordException(e);
+        span->SetStatus(opentelemetry::trace::StatusCode::kError, e.what());
+        throw;
+    }
+}
+```

+
+### Key Principles
+
+1. **Minimal Intrusion**: Instrumentation should not alter existing control flow
+2. **Zero-Cost When Disabled**: Use compile-time flags and no-op implementations
+3. **Backward Compatibility**: Protocol Buffer extensions use high field numbers
+4. **Graceful Degradation**: Tracing failures must not affect node operation

+
+| Metric        | Overhead   | Notes                               |
+| ------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| CPU           | 1-3%       | Span creation and attribute setting |
+| Memory        | 2-5 MB     | Batch buffer for pending spans      |
+| Network       | 10-50 KB/s | Compressed OTLP export to collector |
+| Latency (p99) | <2%        | With proper sampling configuration  |
+
+---
+
+## 3.4 Detailed CPU Overhead Analysis
+
+### 3.4.1 Per-Operation Costs
+
+| Operation             | Time (ns) | Frequency              | Impact     |
+| --------------------- | --------- | ---------------------- | ---------- |
+| Span creation         | 200-500   | Every traced operation | Low        |
+| Span end              | 100-200   | Every traced operation | Low        |
+| SetAttribute (string) | 80-120    | 3-5 per span           | Low        |
+| SetAttribute (int)    | 40-60     | 2-3 per span           | Negligible |
+| AddEvent              | 50-80     | 0-2 per span           | Negligible |
+| Context injection     | 150-250   | Per outgoing message   | Low        |
+| Context extraction    | 100-180   | Per incoming message   | Low        |
+| GetCurrent context    | 10-20     | Thread-local access    | Negligible |
+
+### 3.4.2 Transaction Processing Overhead
+
+<div align="center">

+
+**Transaction Tracing Overhead (~2.4μs total)**
+
+</div>
+
+**Overhead percentage**: 2.4 μs / 200 μs (avg tx processing) = **~1.2%**
+
+### 3.4.3 Consensus Round Overhead
+
+| Operation              | Count | Cost (ns) | Total      |
+| ---------------------- | ----- | --------- | ---------- |
+| consensus.round span   | 1     | ~1000     | ~1 μs      |

+**Overhead percentage**: 23 μs / 3s (typical round) = **~0.0008%** (negligible)
+
+### 3.4.4 RPC Request Overhead
+
+| Operation        | Cost (ns)    |
+| ---------------- | ------------ |
+| rpc.request span | ~700         |
+| rpc.command span | ~600         |
+| Context extract  | ~250         |
+| Context inject   | ~200         |
+| **TOTAL**        | **~1.75 μs** |
+
+- Fast RPC (1ms): 1.75 μs / 1ms = **~0.175%**
+- Slow RPC (100ms): 1.75 μs / 100ms = **~0.002%**

+## 3.5 Memory Overhead Analysis
+
+### 3.5.1 Static Memory
+
+| Component                | Size        | Allocated  |
+| ------------------------ | ----------- | ---------- |
+| TracerProvider singleton | ~64 KB      | At startup |
+| BatchSpanProcessor       | ~128 KB     | At startup |
+| OTLP exporter            | ~256 KB     | At startup |
+| Propagator registry      | ~8 KB       | At startup |
+| **Total static**         | **~456 KB** |            |
+
+### 3.5.2 Dynamic Memory
+
+| Component            | Size per unit | Max units  | Peak        |
+| -------------------- | ------------- | ---------- | ----------- |
+| Active span          | ~200 bytes    | 1000       | ~200 KB     |
+| Queued span (export) | ~500 bytes    | 2048       | ~1 MB       |
+| Attribute storage    | ~50 bytes     | 5 per span | Included    |
+| Context storage      | ~64 bytes     | Per thread | ~6.4 KB     |
+| **Total dynamic**    |               |            | **~1.2 MB** |
+
+### 3.5.3 Memory Growth Characteristics

+**Notes**:
+
+- Memory increases linearly with span rate
+- Batch export prevents unbounded growth
+- Queue size is configurable (default 2048 spans)
+- At queue limit, oldest spans are dropped (not blocked)

+#### Risk Level Definitions
+
+| Risk Level | Definition                                                       | Mitigation                         |
+| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
+| **Low**    | Additive changes only; no modification to existing logic         | Standard code review               |
+| **Medium** | Minor modifications to existing functions; clear boundaries      | Comprehensive unit tests           |
+| **High**   | Changes to core logic or data structures; potential side effects | Integration tests + staged rollout |
+
+### 3.9.4 Architectural Impact Assessment
+
+| Aspect               | Impact  | Justification                                                         |
+| -------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Data Flow**        | None    | Tracing is purely observational; no business logic changes            |
+| **Threading Model**  | Minimal | Context propagation uses thread-local storage (standard OTel pattern) |
+| **Memory Model**     | Low     | Bounded queues prevent unbounded growth; RAII ensures cleanup         |
+| **Network Protocol** | Low     | Optional fields in protobuf (high field numbers); backward compatible |
+| **Configuration**    | None    | New config section; existing configs unaffected                       |
+| **Build System**     | Low     | Optional CMake flag; builds work without OpenTelemetry                |
+| **Dependencies**     | Low     | OpenTelemetry SDK is optional; null implementation when disabled      |
+
+### 3.9.5 Backward Compatibility
+
+| Compatibility   | Status  | Notes                                                 |
+| --------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Config File** | ✅ Full | New `[telemetry]` section is optional                 |
+| **Protocol**    | ✅ Full | Optional protobuf fields with high field numbers      |
+| **Build**       | ✅ Full | `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF` produces identical binary |
+| **Runtime**     | ✅ Full | `enabled=0` produces zero overhead                    |
+| **API**         | ✅ Full | No changes to public RPC or P2P APIs                  |
+
+### 3.9.6 Rollback Strategy
+
+If issues are discovered after deployment:
+
+1. **Immediate**: Set `enabled=0` in config and restart (zero code change)
+2. **Quick**: Rebuild with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF`
+3. **Complete**: Revert telemetry commits (clean separation makes this easy)
+
+### 3.9.7 Code Change Examples
+
+**Minimal RPC Instrumentation (Low Intrusiveness):**
+
+```cpp
+// Before
+void ServerHandler::onRequest(...) {
+    auto result = processRequest(req);
+    send(result);
+}
+
+// After (only ~10 lines added)
+void ServerHandler::onRequest(...) {
+    XRPL_TRACE_RPC(app_.getTelemetry(), "rpc.request");  // +1 line
+    XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.command", command);     // +1 line
+
+    auto result = processRequest(req);
+
+    XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.status", status);       // +1 line
+    send(result);
+}
+```
+
+**Consensus Instrumentation (Medium Intrusiveness):**
+
+```cpp
+// Before
+void RCLConsensusAdaptor::startRound(...) {
+    // ... existing logic
+}
+
+// After (context storage required)
+void RCLConsensusAdaptor::startRound(...) {
+    XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS(app_.getTelemetry(), "consensus.round");
+    XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.consensus.ledger.seq", seq);
+
+    // Store context for child spans in phase transitions
+    currentRoundContext_ = _xrpl_guard_->context();  // New member variable
+
+    // ... existing logic unchanged
+}
+```

+
+### 5.8.5 TraceQL Query Examples
+
+Common queries for rippled traces:
+
+```
+# Find all traces for a specific transaction hash
+{resource.service.name="rippled" && span.xrpl.tx.hash="ABC123..."}
+
+# Find slow RPC commands (>100ms)
+{resource.service.name="rippled" && name=~"rpc.command.*"} | duration > 100ms
+
+# Find consensus rounds taking >5 seconds
+{resource.service.name="rippled" && name="consensus.round"} | duration > 5s
+
+# Find failed transactions with error details
+{resource.service.name="rippled" && name="tx.validate" && status.code=error}
+
+# Find transactions relayed to many peers
+{resource.service.name="rippled" && name="tx.relay"} | span.xrpl.tx.relay_count > 10
+
+# Compare latency across nodes
+{resource.service.name="rippled" && name="rpc.command.account_info"} | avg(duration) by (resource.service.instance.id)
+```
+
+### 5.8.6 Correlation with PerfLog
+
+To correlate OpenTelemetry traces with existing PerfLog data:
+
+**Step 1: Configure Loki to ingest PerfLog**
+
+```yaml
+# promtail-config.yaml
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: rippled-perflog
+    static_configs:
+      - targets:
+          - localhost
+        labels:
+          job: rippled
+          __path__: /var/log/rippled/perf*.log
+    pipeline_stages:
+      - json:
+          expressions:
+            trace_id: trace_id
+            ledger_seq: ledger_seq
+            tx_hash: tx_hash
+      - labels:
+          trace_id:
+          ledger_seq:
+          tx_hash:
+```
+
+**Step 2: Add trace_id to PerfLog entries**
+
+Modify PerfLog to include trace_id when available:
+
+```cpp
+// In PerfLog output, add trace_id from current span context
+void logPerf(Json::Value& entry) {
+    auto span = opentelemetry::trace::GetSpan(
+        opentelemetry::context::RuntimeContext::GetCurrent());
+    if (span && span->GetContext().IsValid()) {
+        char traceIdHex[33];
+        span->GetContext().trace_id().ToLowerBase16(traceIdHex);
+        entry["trace_id"] = std::string(traceIdHex, 32);
+    }
+    // ... existing logging
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3: Configure Grafana trace-to-logs link**
+
+In Tempo data source configuration, set up the derived field:
+
+```yaml
+jsonData:
+  tracesToLogs:
+    datasourceUid: loki
+    tags: ["trace_id", "xrpl.tx.hash"]
+    filterByTraceID: true
+    filterBySpanID: false
+```
+
+### 5.8.7 Correlation with Insight/StatsD Metrics
+
+To correlate traces with existing Beast Insight metrics:
+
+**Step 1: Export Insight metrics to Prometheus**
+
+```yaml
+# prometheus.yaml
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: "rippled-statsd"
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ["statsd-exporter:9102"]
+```
+
+**Step 2: Add exemplars to metrics**
+
+OpenTelemetry SDK automatically adds exemplars (trace IDs) to metrics when using the Prometheus exporter. This links metrics spikes to specific traces.
+
+**Step 3: Configure Grafana metric-to-trace link**
+
+```yaml
+# In Prometheus data source
+jsonData:
+  exemplarTraceIdDestinations:
+    - name: trace_id
+      datasourceUid: tempo
+```
+
+**Step 4: Dashboard panel with exemplars**
+
+```json
+{
+  "title": "RPC Latency with Trace Links",
+  "type": "timeseries",
+  "datasource": "Prometheus",
+  "targets": [
+    {
+      "expr": "histogram_quantile(0.99, rate(rippled_rpc_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))",
+      "exemplar": true
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+This allows clicking on metric data points to jump directly to the related trace.

+
+## 6.7 Phase 6: StatsD Metrics Integration (Week 10)
+
+**Objective**: Bridge rippled's existing `beast::insight` StatsD metrics into the OpenTelemetry collection pipeline, exposing 300+ pre-existing metrics alongside span-derived RED metrics in Prometheus/Grafana.
+
+### Background
+
+rippled has a mature metrics framework (`beast::insight`) that emits StatsD-format metrics over UDP. These metrics cover node health, peer networking, RPC performance, job queue, and overlay traffic — data that **does not** overlap with the span-based instrumentation from Phases 1-5. By adding a StatsD receiver to the OTel Collector, both metric sources converge in Prometheus.
+
+### Metric Inventory

+
+### Wire Format Fix (Task 6.1) — DEFERRED
+
+The `StatsDMeterImpl` in `StatsDCollector.cpp:706` sends metrics with `|m` suffix, which is non-standard StatsD. The OTel StatsD receiver silently drops these. Fix: change `|m` to `|c` (counter), which is semantically correct since meters are increment-only counters. Only 2 metrics are affected (`warn`, `drop` in Resource Manager).
+
+**Status**: Deferred as a separate change — this is a breaking change for any StatsD backend that previously consumed the custom `|m` type. The Resource Warnings and Resource Drops dashboard panels will show no data until this fix is applied.
+
+### New Grafana Dashboards
+
+**Node Health** (`statsd-node-health.json`, uid: `rippled-statsd-node-health`):
+
+- Validated/Published Ledger Age, Operating Mode Duration/Transitions, I/O Latency, Job Queue Depth, Ledger Fetch Rate, Ledger History Mismatches
+
+**Network Traffic** (`statsd-network-traffic.json`, uid: `rippled-statsd-network`):
+
+- Active Inbound/Outbound Peers, Peer Disconnects, Total Bytes/Messages In/Out, Transaction/Proposal/Validation Traffic, Top Traffic Categories
+
+**RPC & Pathfinding (StatsD)** (`statsd-rpc-pathfinding.json`, uid: `rippled-statsd-rpc`):
+
+- RPC Request Rate, Response Time p95/p50, Response Size p95/p50, Pathfinding Fast/Full Duration, Resource Warnings/Drops, Response Time Heatmap
+
+### Exit Criteria
+
+- [ ] StatsD metrics visible in Prometheus (`curl localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=rippled_LedgerMaster_Validated_Ledger_Age`)
+- [ ] All 3 new Grafana dashboards load without errors
+- [ ] Integration test verifies at least core StatsD metrics (ledger age, peer counts, RPC requests)
+- [ ] ~~Meter metrics (`warn`, `drop`) flow correctly after `|m` → `|c` fix~~ — DEFERRED (breaking change, tracked separately)

+### 6.12.2 Quick Wins (Immediate Value)
+
+| Quick Win                      | Effort   | Value  | When to Deploy |
+| ------------------------------ | -------- | ------ | -------------- |
+| **RPC Command Tracing**        | 2 days   | High   | Week 2         |
+| **RPC Latency Histograms**     | 0.5 days | High   | Week 2         |
+| **Error Rate Dashboard**       | 0.5 days | Medium | Week 2         |
+| **Transaction Submit Tracing** | 1 day    | High   | Week 3         |
+| **Consensus Round Duration**   | 1 day    | Medium | Week 6         |
+
+### 6.12.3 CRAWL Phase (Weeks 1-2)
+
+**Goal**: Get basic tracing working with minimal code changes.
+
+**What You Get**:
+
+- RPC request/response traces for all commands
+- Latency breakdown per RPC command
+- Error visibility with stack traces
+- Basic Grafana dashboard
+
+**Code Changes**: ~15 lines in `ServerHandler.cpp`, ~40 lines in new telemetry module
+
+**Why Start Here**:
+
+- RPC is the lowest-risk, highest-visibility component
+- Immediate value for debugging client issues
+- No cross-node complexity
+- Single file modification to existing code
+
+### 6.12.4 WALK Phase (Weeks 3-5)
+
+**Goal**: Add transaction lifecycle tracing across nodes.
+
+**What You Get**:
+
+- End-to-end transaction traces from submit to relay
+- Cross-node correlation (see transaction path)
+- HashRouter deduplication visibility
+- Relay latency metrics
+
+**Code Changes**: ~120 lines across 4 files, plus protobuf extension
+
+**Why Do This Second**:
+
+- Builds on RPC tracing (transactions submitted via RPC)
+- Moderate complexity (requires context propagation)
+- High value for debugging transaction issues
+
+### 6.12.5 RUN Phase (Weeks 6-9)
+
+**Goal**: Full observability including consensus.
+
+**What You Get**:
+
+- Complete consensus round visibility
+- Phase transition timing
+- Validator proposal tracking
+- Full end-to-end traces (client → RPC → TX → consensus → ledger)
+
+**Code Changes**: ~100 lines across 3 consensus files
+
+**Why Do This Last**:
+
+- Highest complexity (consensus is critical path)
+- Requires thorough testing
+- Lower relative value (consensus issues are rarer)

+## 7.4 Architecture Considerations
+
+### 7.4.1 Collector Placement
+
+| Strategy      | Description          | Pros                     | Cons                    |
+| ------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------- |
+| **Sidecar**   | Collector per node   | Isolation, simple config | Resource overhead       |
+| **DaemonSet** | Collector per host   | Shared resources         | Complexity              |
+| **Gateway**   | Central collector(s) | Centralized processing   | Single point of failure |
+
+**Recommendation**: Use **Gateway** pattern with regional collectors for rippled networks:
+
+- One collector cluster per datacenter/region
+- Tail-based sampling at collector level
+- Multiple export destinations for redundancy
+
+### 7.4.2 Sampling Strategy
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    subgraph head["Head Sampling (Node)"]
+        hs[10% probabilistic]
+    end
+
+    subgraph tail["Tail Sampling (Collector)"]
+        ts1[Keep all errors]
+        ts2[Keep slow >5s]
+        ts3[Keep 10% rest]
+    end
+
+    head --> tail
+
+    ts1 --> final[Final Traces]
+    ts2 --> final
+    ts3 --> final
+
+    style head fill:#0d47a1,stroke:#082f6a,color:#fff

+    style ts3 fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#fff
+    style final fill:#bf360c,stroke:#8c2809,color:#fff
+```
+
+### 7.4.3 Data Retention
+
+| Environment | Hot Storage | Warm Storage | Cold Archive |
+| ----------- | ----------- | ------------ | ------------ |
+| Development | 24 hours    | N/A          | N/A          |
+| Staging     | 7 days      | N/A          | N/A          |
+| Production  | 7 days      | 30 days      | many years   |
+
+---
+
+## 7.5 Integration Checklist
+
+- [ ] Choose primary backend (Tempo recommended for cost/features)
+- [ ] Deploy collector cluster with high availability
+- [ ] Configure tail-based sampling for error/latency traces
+- [ ] Set up Grafana dashboards for trace visualization
+- [ ] Configure alerts for trace anomalies
+- [ ] Establish data retention policies
+- [ ] Test trace correlation with logs and metrics

+### 7.7.3 Example: Debugging a Slow Transaction
+
+**Step 1: Find the trace**
+
+```
+# In Grafana Explore with Tempo
+{resource.service.name="rippled" && span.xrpl.tx.hash="ABC123..."}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Get the trace_id from the trace view**
+
+```
+Trace ID: 4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736
+```
+
+**Step 3: Find related PerfLog entries**
+
+```
+# In Grafana Explore with Loki
+{job="rippled"} |= "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736"
+```
+
+**Step 4: Check Insight metrics for the time window**
+
+```
+# In Grafana with Prometheus
+rate(rippled_tx_applied_total[1m])
+  @ timestamp_from_trace

+# [OpenTelemetry](00-tracing-fundamentals.md) Distributed Tracing Implementation Plan for rippled (xrpld)
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document provides a comprehensive implementation plan for integrating OpenTelemetry distributed tracing into the rippled XRP Ledger node software. The plan addresses the unique challenges of a decentralized peer-to-peer system where trace context must propagate across network boundaries between independent nodes.
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+- **End-to-end transaction visibility**: Track transactions from submission through consensus to ledger inclusion
+- **Consensus round analysis**: Understand timing and behavior of consensus phases across validators
+- **RPC performance insights**: Identify slow handlers and optimize response times
+- **Network topology understanding**: Visualize message propagation patterns between peers
+- **Incident debugging**: Correlate events across distributed nodes during issues
+
+### Estimated Performance Overhead
+
+| Metric        | Overhead   | Notes                               |
+| ------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| CPU           | 1-3%       | Span creation and attribute setting |
+| Memory        | 2-5 MB     | Batch buffer for pending spans      |
+| Network       | 10-50 KB/s | Compressed OTLP export to collector |
+| Latency (p99) | <2%        | With proper sampling configuration  |

+
+## 1. Architecture Analysis
+
+The rippled node consists of several key components that require instrumentation for comprehensive distributed tracing. The main areas include the RPC server (HTTP/WebSocket), Overlay P2P network, Consensus mechanism (RCLConsensus), JobQueue for async task execution, and existing observability infrastructure (PerfLog, Insight/StatsD, Journal logging).
+
+Key trace points span across transaction submission via RPC, peer-to-peer message propagation, consensus round execution, and ledger building. The implementation prioritizes high-value, low-risk components first: RPC handlers provide immediate value with minimal risk, while consensus tracing requires careful implementation to avoid timing impacts.
+
+➡️ **[Read full Architecture Analysis](./01-architecture-analysis.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 2. Design Decisions
+
+The OpenTelemetry C++ SDK is selected for its CNCF backing, active development, and native performance characteristics. Traces are exported via OTLP/gRPC (primary) or OTLP/HTTP (fallback) to an OpenTelemetry Collector, which provides flexible routing and sampling.
+
+Span naming follows a hierarchical `<component>.<operation>` convention (e.g., `rpc.submit`, `tx.relay`, `consensus.round`). Context propagation uses W3C Trace Context headers for HTTP and embedded Protocol Buffer fields for P2P messages. The implementation coexists with existing PerfLog and Insight observability systems through correlation IDs.
+
+**Data Collection & Privacy**: Telemetry collects only operational metadata (timing, counts, hashes) — never sensitive content (private keys, balances, amounts, raw payloads). Privacy protection includes account hashing, configurable redaction, sampling, and collector-level filtering. Node operators retain full control(not penned down in this document yet) over what data is exported.
+
+➡️ **[Read full Design Decisions](./02-design-decisions.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 3. Implementation Strategy
+
+The telemetry code is organized under `include/xrpl/telemetry/` for headers and `src/libxrpl/telemetry/` for implementation. Key principles include RAII-based span management via `SpanGuard`, conditional compilation with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`, and minimal runtime overhead through batch processing and efficient sampling.
+
+Performance optimization strategies include probabilistic head sampling (10% default), tail-based sampling at the collector for errors and slow traces, batch export to reduce network overhead, and conditional instrumentation that compiles to no-ops when disabled.
+
+➡️ **[Read full Implementation Strategy](./03-implementation-strategy.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 4. Code Samples
+
+Complete C++ implementation examples are provided for all telemetry components:
+
+- `Telemetry.h` - Core interface for tracer access and span creation
+- `SpanGuard.h` - RAII wrapper for automatic span lifecycle management
+- `TracingInstrumentation.h` - Macros for conditional instrumentation
+- Protocol Buffer extensions for trace context propagation
+- Module-specific instrumentation (RPC, Consensus, P2P, JobQueue)
+
+➡️ **[View all Code Samples](./04-code-samples.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 5. Configuration Reference
+
+Configuration is handled through the `[telemetry]` section in `xrpld.cfg` with options for enabling/disabling, exporter selection, endpoint configuration, sampling ratios, and component-level filtering. CMake integration includes a `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` option for compile-time control.
+
+OpenTelemetry Collector configurations are provided for development (with Jaeger) and production (with tail-based sampling, Tempo, and Elastic APM). Docker Compose examples enable quick local development environment setup.
+
+➡️ **[View full Configuration Reference](./05-configuration-reference.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 6. Implementation Phases
+
+The implementation spans 9 weeks across 5 phases:
+
+| Phase | Duration  | Focus               | Key Deliverables                                    |
+| ----- | --------- | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| 1     | Weeks 1-2 | Core Infrastructure | SDK integration, Telemetry interface, Configuration |
+| 2     | Weeks 3-4 | RPC Tracing         | HTTP context extraction, Handler instrumentation    |
+| 3     | Weeks 5-6 | Transaction Tracing | Protocol Buffer context, Relay propagation          |
+| 4     | Weeks 7-8 | Consensus Tracing   | Round spans, Proposal/validation tracing            |
+| 5     | Week 9    | Documentation       | Runbook, Dashboards, Training                       |

+
+## 7. Observability Backends
+
+For development and testing, Jaeger provides easy setup with a good UI. For production deployments, Grafana Tempo is recommended for its cost-effectiveness and Grafana integration, while Elastic APM is ideal for organizations with existing Elastic infrastructure.
+
+The recommended production architecture uses a gateway collector pattern with regional collectors performing tail-based sampling, routing traces to multiple backends (Tempo for primary storage, Elastic for log correlation, S3/GCS for long-term archive).

+# OpenTelemetry POC Task List
+
+> **Goal**: Build a minimal end-to-end proof of concept that demonstrates distributed tracing in rippled. A successful POC will show RPC request traces flowing from rippled through an OTel Collector into Jaeger, viewable in a browser UI.
+>
+> **Scope**: RPC tracing only (highest value, lowest risk per the [CRAWL phase](./06-implementation-phases.md#6102-quick-wins-immediate-value) in the implementation phases). No cross-node P2P context propagation or consensus tracing in the POC.

+     - Expose ports `4317` (OTLP gRPC) and `4318` (OTLP HTTP)
+     - Expose port `13133` (health check)
+     - Mount a config file `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`
+  2. **Jaeger** (`jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest`)
+     - Expose port `16686` (UI) and `14250` (gRPC collector)
+     - Set env `COLLECTOR_OTLP_ENABLED=true`
+  3. **Grafana** (`grafana/grafana:latest`) — optional but useful
+     - Expose port `3000`
+     - Enable anonymous admin access for local dev (`GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED=true`, `GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ORG_ROLE=Admin`)
+     - Provision Jaeger as a data source via `docker/telemetry/grafana/provisioning/datasources/jaeger.yaml`
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`:
+
+  ```yaml
+  receivers:
+    otlp:
+      protocols:
+        grpc:
+          endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4317

+        exporters: [logging, otlp/jaeger]
+  ```
+
+- Create Grafana Jaeger datasource provisioning file at `docker/telemetry/grafana/provisioning/datasources/jaeger.yaml`:
+  ```yaml
+  apiVersion: 1
+  datasources:
+    - name: Jaeger
+      type: jaeger
+      access: proxy
+      url: http://jaeger:16686
+  ```
+
+**Verification**: Run `docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml up -d`, then:
+
+- `curl http://localhost:13133` returns healthy (Collector)

+## Task 1: Add OpenTelemetry C++ SDK Dependency
+
+**Objective**: Make `opentelemetry-cpp` available to the build system.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `conanfile.py` to add `opentelemetry-cpp` as an **optional** dependency. The gRPC otel plugin flag (`"grpc/*:otel_plugin": False`) in the existing conanfile may need to remain false — we pull the OTel SDK separately.
+  - Add a Conan option: `with_telemetry = [True, False]` defaulting to `False`
+  - When `with_telemetry` is `True`, add `opentelemetry-cpp` to `self.requires()`
+  - Required OTel Conan components: `opentelemetry-cpp` (which bundles api, sdk, and exporters). If the package isn't in Conan Center, consider using `FetchContent` in CMake or building from source as a fallback.
+- Edit `CMakeLists.txt`:
+  - Add option: `option(XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY "Enable OpenTelemetry tracing" OFF)`
+  - When ON, `find_package(opentelemetry-cpp CONFIG REQUIRED)` and add compile definition `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`
+  - When OFF, do nothing (zero build impact)
+- Verify the build succeeds with `-DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF` (no regressions) and with `-DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON` (SDK links successfully).
+
+**Key files**:

+---
+
+## Task 2: Create Core Telemetry Interface and NullTelemetry
+
+**Objective**: Define the `Telemetry` abstract interface and a no-op implementation so the rest of the codebase can reference telemetry without hard-depending on the OTel SDK.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `include/xrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.h`:
+  - Define `namespace xrpl::telemetry`
+  - Define `struct Telemetry::Setup` holding: `enabled`, `exporterEndpoint`, `samplingRatio`, `serviceName`, `serviceVersion`, `serviceInstanceId`, `traceRpc`, `traceTransactions`, `traceConsensus`, `tracePeer`
+  - Define abstract `class Telemetry` with:
+    - `virtual void start() = 0;`
+    - `virtual void stop() = 0;`
+    - `virtual bool isEnabled() const = 0;`
+    - `virtual nostd::shared_ptr<Tracer> getTracer(string_view name = "rippled") = 0;`
+    - `virtual nostd::shared_ptr<Span> startSpan(string_view name, SpanKind kind = kInternal) = 0;`
+    - `virtual nostd::shared_ptr<Span> startSpan(string_view name, Context const& parentContext, SpanKind kind = kInternal) = 0;`
+    - `virtual bool shouldTraceRpc() const = 0;`
+    - `virtual bool shouldTraceTransactions() const = 0;`
+    - `virtual bool shouldTraceConsensus() const = 0;`
+  - Factory: `std::unique_ptr<Telemetry> make_Telemetry(Setup const&, beast::Journal);`
+  - Config parser: `Telemetry::Setup setup_Telemetry(Section const&, std::string const& nodePublicKey, std::string const& version);`
+
+- Create `include/xrpl/telemetry/SpanGuard.h`:
+  - RAII guard that takes an `nostd::shared_ptr<Span>`, creates a `Scope`, and calls `span->End()` in destructor.
+  - Convenience: `setAttribute()`, `setOk()`, `setStatus()`, `addEvent()`, `recordException()`, `context()`
+  - See [04-code-samples.md](./04-code-samples.md) §4.2 for the full implementation.
+
+- Create `src/libxrpl/telemetry/NullTelemetry.cpp`:
+  - Implements `Telemetry` with all no-ops.
+  - `isEnabled()` returns `false`, `startSpan()` returns a noop span.
+  - This is used when `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is OFF or `enabled=0` in config.
+
+- Guard all OTel SDK headers behind `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`. The `NullTelemetry` implementation should compile without the OTel SDK present.
+
+**Key new files**:

+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Implement OTel-Backed Telemetry
+
+**Objective**: Implement the real `Telemetry` class that initializes the OTel SDK, configures the OTLP exporter and batch processor, and creates tracers/spans.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `src/libxrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.cpp` (compiled only when `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON`):
+  - `class TelemetryImpl : public Telemetry` that:
+    - In `start()`: creates a `TracerProvider` with:
+      - Resource attributes: `service.name`, `service.version`, `service.instance.id`
+      - An `OtlpGrpcExporter` pointed at `setup.exporterEndpoint` (default `localhost:4317`)
+      - A `BatchSpanProcessor` with configurable batch size and delay
+      - A `TraceIdRatioBasedSampler` using `setup.samplingRatio`
+    - Sets the global `TracerProvider`
+    - In `stop()`: calls `ForceFlush()` then shuts down the provider
+    - In `startSpan()`: delegates to `getTracer()->StartSpan(name, ...)`
+    - `shouldTraceRpc()` etc. read from `Setup` fields
+
+- Create `src/libxrpl/telemetry/TelemetryConfig.cpp`:
+  - `setup_Telemetry()` parses the `[telemetry]` config section from `xrpld.cfg`
+  - Maps config keys: `enabled`, `exporter`, `endpoint`, `sampling_ratio`, `trace_rpc`, `trace_transactions`, `trace_consensus`, `trace_peer`
+
+- Wire `make_Telemetry()` factory:
+  - If `setup.enabled` is true AND `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is defined: return `TelemetryImpl`
+  - Otherwise: return `NullTelemetry`
+
+- Add telemetry source files to CMake. When `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON`, compile `Telemetry.cpp` and `TelemetryConfig.cpp` and link against `opentelemetry-cpp::api`, `opentelemetry-cpp::sdk`, `opentelemetry-cpp::otlp_grpc_exporter`. When OFF, compile only `NullTelemetry.cpp`.
+
+**Key new files**:
+
+- `src/libxrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.cpp`
+- `src/libxrpl/telemetry/TelemetryConfig.cpp`
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `CMakeLists.txt` (add telemetry library target)

+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Integrate Telemetry into Application Lifecycle
+
+**Objective**: Wire the `Telemetry` object into `Application` so all components can access it.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/main/Application.h`:
+  - Forward-declare `namespace xrpl::telemetry { class Telemetry; }`
+  - Add pure virtual method: `virtual telemetry::Telemetry& getTelemetry() = 0;`
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/main/Application.cpp` (the `ApplicationImp` class):
+  - Add member: `std::unique_ptr<telemetry::Telemetry> telemetry_;`
+  - In the constructor, after config is loaded and node identity is known:
+    ```cpp
+    auto const telemetrySection = config_->section("telemetry");
+    auto telemetrySetup = telemetry::setup_Telemetry(
+        telemetrySection,
+        toBase58(TokenType::NodePublic, nodeIdentity_.publicKey()),
+        BuildInfo::getVersionString());
+    telemetry_ = telemetry::make_Telemetry(telemetrySetup, logs_->journal("Telemetry"));
+    ```
+  - In `start()`: call `telemetry_->start()` early
+  - In `stop()` or destructor: call `telemetry_->stop()` late (to flush pending spans)
+  - Implement `getTelemetry()` override: return `*telemetry_`
+
+- Add `[telemetry]` section to the example config `cfg/rippled-example.cfg`:
+  ```ini
+  # [telemetry]
+  # enabled=1
+  # endpoint=localhost:4317
+  # sampling_ratio=1.0
+  # trace_rpc=1
+  ```
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/main/Application.h`
+- `src/xrpld/app/main/Application.cpp`
+- `cfg/rippled-example.cfg` (or equivalent example config)
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [05-configuration-reference.md §5.3](./05-configuration-reference.md) — `ApplicationImp` changes: member declaration, constructor init, `start()`/`stop()` wiring, `getTelemetry()` override

+- [03-implementation-strategy.md §3.9.2](./03-implementation-strategy.md) — File impact assessment: `Application.cpp` ~15 lines added, ~3 changed (Low risk)
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Create Instrumentation Macros
+
+**Objective**: Define convenience macros that make instrumenting code one-liners, and that compile to zero-cost no-ops when telemetry is disabled.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `src/xrpld/telemetry/TracingInstrumentation.h`:
+  - When `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is defined:
+
+    ```cpp
+    #define XRPL_TRACE_SPAN(telemetry, name) \
+        auto _xrpl_span_ = (telemetry).startSpan(name); \
+        ::xrpl::telemetry::SpanGuard _xrpl_guard_(_xrpl_span_)
+
+    #define XRPL_TRACE_RPC(telemetry, name) \
+        std::optional<::xrpl::telemetry::SpanGuard> _xrpl_guard_; \
+        if ((telemetry).shouldTraceRpc()) { \
+            _xrpl_guard_.emplace((telemetry).startSpan(name)); \
+        }
+
+    #define XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR(key, value) \
+        if (_xrpl_guard_.has_value()) { \
+            _xrpl_guard_->setAttribute(key, value); \
+        }
+
+    #define XRPL_TRACE_EXCEPTION(e) \
+        if (_xrpl_guard_.has_value()) { \
+            _xrpl_guard_->recordException(e); \
+        }
+    ```
+
+  - When `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is NOT defined, all macros expand to `((void)0)`
+
+**Key new file**:

+
+**Reference**:

+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Instrument RPC ServerHandler
+
+**Objective**: Add tracing to the HTTP RPC entry point so every incoming RPC request creates a span.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/rpc/detail/ServerHandler.cpp`:
+  - `#include` the `TracingInstrumentation.h` header
+  - In `ServerHandler::onRequest(Session& session)`:
+    - At the top of the method, add: `XRPL_TRACE_RPC(app_.getTelemetry(), "rpc.request");`
+    - After the RPC command name is extracted, set attribute: `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.command", command);`
+    - After the response status is known, set: `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("http.status_code", static_cast<int64_t>(statusCode));`
+    - Wrap error paths with: `XRPL_TRACE_EXCEPTION(e);`
+  - In `ServerHandler::processRequest(...)`:
+    - Add a child span: `XRPL_TRACE_RPC(app_.getTelemetry(), "rpc.process");`
+    - Set method attribute: `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.method", request_method);`
+  - In `ServerHandler::onWSMessage(...)` (WebSocket path):
+    - Add: `XRPL_TRACE_RPC(app_.getTelemetry(), "rpc.ws.message");`
+
+- The goal is to see spans like:
+  ```
+  rpc.request
+    └── rpc.process
+  ```
+  in Jaeger for every HTTP RPC call.

+- [03-implementation-strategy.md §3.9.2](./03-implementation-strategy.md) — File impact: `ServerHandler.cpp` ~40 lines added, ~10 changed (Low risk)
+
+---
+
+## Task 7: Instrument RPC Command Execution
+
+**Objective**: Add per-command tracing inside the RPC handler so each command (e.g., `submit`, `account_info`, `server_info`) gets its own child span.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/rpc/detail/RPCHandler.cpp`:
+  - `#include` the `TracingInstrumentation.h` header
+  - In `doCommand(RPC::JsonContext& context, Json::Value& result)`:
+    - At the top: `XRPL_TRACE_RPC(context.app.getTelemetry(), "rpc.command." + context.method);`
+    - Set attributes:
+      - `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.command", context.method);`
+      - `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.version", static_cast<int64_t>(context.apiVersion));`
+      - `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.role", (context.role == Role::ADMIN) ? "admin" : "user");`
+    - On success: `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.status", "success");`
+    - On error: `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.status", "error");` and set the error message
+
+- After this, traces in Jaeger should look like:
+  ```
+  rpc.request  (xrpl.rpc.command=account_info)
+    └── rpc.process
+          └── rpc.command.account_info  (xrpl.rpc.version=2, xrpl.rpc.role=user, xrpl.rpc.status=success)

+
+## Task 8: Build, Run, and Verify End-to-End
+
+**Objective**: Prove the full pipeline works: rippled emits traces -> OTel Collector receives them -> Jaeger displays them.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+1. **Start the Docker stack**:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml up -d
+   ```
+
+   Verify Collector health: `curl http://localhost:13133`
+
+2. **Build rippled with telemetry**:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Adjust for your actual build workflow
+   conan install . --build=missing -o with_telemetry=True
+   cmake --preset default -DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON
+   cmake --build --preset default
+   ```
+
+3. **Configure rippled**:
+   Add to `rippled.cfg` (or your local test config):
+
+   ```ini
+   [telemetry]
+   enabled=1
+   endpoint=localhost:4317
+   sampling_ratio=1.0
+   trace_rpc=1
+   ```
+
+4. **Start rippled** in standalone mode:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./rippled --conf rippled.cfg -a --start
+   ```
+
+5. **Generate RPC traffic**:
+
+   ```bash
+   # server_info
+   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:5005 \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"method":"server_info","params":[{}]}'
+
+   # ledger
+   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:5005 \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"method":"ledger","params":[{"ledger_index":"current"}]}'
+
+   # account_info (will error in standalone, that's fine — we trace errors too)
+   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:5005 \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"method":"account_info","params":[{"account":"rHb9CJAWyB4rj91VRWn96DkukG4bwdtyTh"}]}'
+   ```
+
+6. **Verify in Jaeger**:
+   - Open `http://localhost:16686`
+   - Select service `rippled` from the dropdown
+   - Click "Find Traces"
+   - Confirm you see traces with spans: `rpc.request` -> `rpc.process` -> `rpc.command.server_info`
+   - Click into a trace and verify attributes: `xrpl.rpc.command`, `xrpl.rpc.status`, `xrpl.rpc.version`
+
+7. **Verify zero-overhead when disabled**:
+   - Rebuild with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF`, or set `enabled=0` in config
+   - Run the same RPC calls
+   - Confirm no new traces appear and no errors in rippled logs
+
+**Verification Checklist**:
+
+- [ ] Docker stack starts without errors
+- [ ] rippled builds with `-DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON`
+- [ ] rippled starts and connects to OTel Collector (check rippled logs for telemetry messages)
+- [ ] Traces appear in Jaeger UI under service "rippled"
+- [ ] Span hierarchy is correct (parent-child relationships)
+- [ ] Span attributes are populated (`xrpl.rpc.command`, `xrpl.rpc.status`, etc.)
+- [ ] Error spans show error status and message
+- [ ] Building with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF` produces no regressions
+- [ ] Setting `enabled=0` at runtime produces no traces and no errors

+
+## Task 9: Document POC Results and Next Steps
+
+**Objective**: Capture findings, screenshots, and remaining work for the team.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Take screenshots of Jaeger showing:
+  - The service list with "rippled"
+  - A trace with the full span tree
+  - Span detail view showing attributes
+- Document any issues encountered (build issues, SDK quirks, missing attributes)
+- Note performance observations (build time impact, any noticeable runtime overhead)
+- Write a short summary of what the POC proves and what it doesn't cover yet:
+  - **Proves**: OTel SDK integrates with rippled, OTLP export works, RPC traces visible

+
+## Next Steps (Post-POC)
+
+### Metrics Pipeline for Grafana Dashboards
+
+The current POC exports **traces only**. Grafana's Explore view can query Jaeger for individual traces, but time-series charts (latency histograms, request throughput, error rates) require a **metrics pipeline**. To enable this:
+
+1. **Add a `spanmetrics` connector** to the OTel Collector config that derives RED metrics (Rate, Errors, Duration) from trace spans automatically:
+
+   ```yaml
+   connectors:
+     spanmetrics:
+       histogram:
+         explicit:
+           buckets: [1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 25ms, 50ms, 100ms, 250ms, 500ms, 1s, 5s]
+       dimensions:
+         - name: xrpl.rpc.command
+         - name: xrpl.rpc.status
+
+   exporters:
+     prometheus:
+       endpoint: 0.0.0.0:8889
+
+   service:
+     pipelines:
+       traces:
+         receivers: [otlp]
+         processors: [batch]
+         exporters: [debug, otlp/jaeger, spanmetrics]
+       metrics:
+         receivers: [spanmetrics]
+         exporters: [prometheus]
+   ```
+
+2. **Add Prometheus** to the Docker Compose stack to scrape the collector's metrics endpoint.
+
+3. **Add Prometheus as a Grafana datasource** and build dashboards for:
+   - RPC request latency (p50/p95/p99) by command
+   - RPC throughput (requests/sec) by command
+   - Error rate by command
+   - Span duration distribution
+
+### Additional Instrumentation
+
+- **W3C `traceparent` header extraction** in `ServerHandler` to support cross-service context propagation from external callers
+- **WebSocket RPC tracing** in `ServerHandler::onWSMessage()`
+- **Transaction relay tracing** across nodes using protobuf `TraceContext` messages
+- **Consensus round and phase tracing** for validator coordination visibility
+- **Ledger close tracing** to measure close-to-validated latency
+
+### Production Hardening
+
+- **Tail-based sampling** in the OTel Collector to reduce volume while retaining error/slow traces
+- **TLS configuration** for the OTLP exporter in production deployments
+- **Resource limits** on the batch processor queue to prevent unbounded memory growth
+- **Health monitoring** for the telemetry pipeline itself (collector lag, export failures)
+

+## Task 2.1: Implement W3C Trace Context HTTP Header Extraction
+
+**Objective**: Extract `traceparent` and `tracestate` headers from incoming HTTP RPC requests so external callers can propagate their trace context into rippled.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `include/xrpl/telemetry/TraceContextPropagator.h`:
+  - `extractFromHeaders(headerGetter)` - extract W3C traceparent/tracestate from HTTP headers
+  - `injectToHeaders(ctx, headerSetter)` - inject trace context into response headers
+  - Use OTel's `TextMapPropagator` with `W3CTraceContextPropagator` for standards compliance
+  - Only compiled when `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is defined
+
+- Create `src/libxrpl/telemetry/TraceContextPropagator.cpp`:
+  - Implement a simple `TextMapCarrier` adapter for HTTP headers
+  - Use `opentelemetry::context::propagation::GlobalTextMapPropagator` for extraction/injection
+  - Register the W3C propagator in `TelemetryImpl::start()`
+
+- Modify `src/xrpld/rpc/detail/ServerHandler.cpp`:
+  - In the HTTP request handler, extract parent context from headers before creating span
+  - Pass extracted context to `startSpan()` as parent
+  - Inject trace context into response headers

+
+**Key modified file**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/TracingInstrumentation.h`

+
+## Task 2.3: Add shouldTraceLedger() to Telemetry Interface
+
+**Objective**: The `Setup` struct has a `traceLedger` field but there's no corresponding virtual method. Add it for interface completeness.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `include/xrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.h`:
+  - Add `virtual bool shouldTraceLedger() const = 0;`

+## Task 2.4: Unit Tests for Core Telemetry Infrastructure
+
+**Objective**: Add unit tests for the core telemetry abstractions to validate correctness and catch regressions.
+
+**What to do**:

+  - Test Setup defaults: verify all Setup fields have correct defaults
+  - Test setup_Telemetry config parser: verify parsing of [telemetry] section
+  - Test enabled/disabled factory paths
+  - Test shouldTrace\* methods respect config flags
+

+

+
+## Known Issues / Future Work
+
+### Thread safety of TelemetryImpl::stop() vs startSpan()
+
+`TelemetryImpl::stop()` resets `sdkProvider_` (a `std::shared_ptr`) without
+synchronization. `getTracer()` reads the same member from RPC handler threads.
+This is a data race if any thread calls `startSpan()` concurrently with `stop()`.
+
+**Current mitigation**: `Application::stop()` shuts down `serverHandler_`,
+`overlay_`, and `jobQueue_` before calling `telemetry_->stop()`, so no callers
+remain. See comments in `Telemetry.cpp:stop()` and `Application.cpp`.
+
+**TODO**: Add an `std::atomic<bool> stopped_` flag checked in `getTracer()` to
+make this robust against future shutdown order changes.
+
+### Macro incompatibility: XRPL_TRACE_SPAN vs XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR
+
+`XRPL_TRACE_SPAN` and `XRPL_TRACE_SPAN_KIND` declare `_xrpl_guard_` as a bare
+`SpanGuard`, but `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR` and `XRPL_TRACE_EXCEPTION` call
+`_xrpl_guard_.has_value()` which requires `std::optional<SpanGuard>`. Using
+`XRPL_TRACE_SPAN` followed by `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR` in the same scope would
+fail to compile.
+
+**Current mitigation**: No call site currently uses `XRPL_TRACE_SPAN` — all
+production code uses the conditional macros (`XRPL_TRACE_RPC`, `XRPL_TRACE_TX`,
+etc.) which correctly wrap the guard in `std::optional`.
+
+**TODO**: Either make `XRPL_TRACE_SPAN`/`XRPL_TRACE_SPAN_KIND` also wrap in
+`std::optional`, or document that `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR` is only compatible with
+the conditional macros.

+## Task 3.1: Define TraceContext Protocol Buffer Message
+
+**Objective**: Add trace context fields to the P2P protocol messages so trace IDs can propagate across nodes.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `include/xrpl/proto/xrpl.proto` (or `src/ripple/proto/ripple.proto`, wherever the proto is):
+  - Add `TraceContext` message definition:
+    ```protobuf
+    message TraceContext {
+        bytes trace_id = 1;      // 16-byte trace identifier
+        bytes span_id = 2;       // 8-byte span identifier
+        uint32 trace_flags = 3;  // bit 0 = sampled
+        string trace_state = 4;  // W3C tracestate value
+    }
+    ```
+  - Add `optional TraceContext trace_context = 1001;` to:
+    - `TMTransaction`
+    - `TMProposeSet` (for Phase 4 use)
+    - `TMValidation` (for Phase 4 use)
+  - Use high field numbers (1001+) to avoid conflicts with existing fields

+
+## Task 3.2: Implement Protobuf Context Serialization
+
+**Objective**: Create utilities to serialize/deserialize OTel trace context to/from protobuf `TraceContext` messages.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `include/xrpl/telemetry/TraceContextPropagator.h` (extend from Phase 2 if exists, or add protobuf methods):
+  - Add protobuf-specific methods:
+    - `static Context extractFromProtobuf(protocol::TraceContext const& proto)` — reconstruct OTel context from protobuf fields
+    - `static void injectToProtobuf(Context const& ctx, protocol::TraceContext& proto)` — serialize current span context into protobuf fields
+  - Both methods guard behind `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`
+
+- Create/extend `src/libxrpl/telemetry/TraceContextPropagator.cpp`:
+  - Implement extraction: read trace_id (16 bytes), span_id (8 bytes), trace_flags from protobuf, construct `SpanContext`, wrap in `Context`
+  - Implement injection: get current span from context, serialize its TraceId, SpanId, and TraceFlags into protobuf fields

+## Task 3.3: Instrument PeerImp Transaction Handling
+
+**Objective**: Add trace spans to the peer-level transaction receive and relay path.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp`:
+  - In `onMessage(TMTransaction)` / `handleTransaction()`:
+    - Extract parent trace context from incoming `TMTransaction::trace_context` field (if present)
+    - Create `tx.receive` span as child of extracted context (or new root if none)
+    - Set attributes: `xrpl.tx.hash`, `xrpl.peer.id`, `xrpl.tx.status`
+    - On HashRouter suppression (duplicate): set `xrpl.tx.suppressed=true`, add `tx.duplicate` event
+    - Wrap validation call with child span `tx.validate`
+    - Wrap relay with `tx.relay` span
+  - When relaying to peers:
+    - Inject current trace context into outgoing `TMTransaction::trace_context`
+    - Set `xrpl.tx.relay_count` attribute
+
+- Include `TracingInstrumentation.h` and use `XRPL_TRACE_TX` macro
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp`
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [04-code-samples.md §4.5.1](./04-code-samples.md) — Full PeerImp instrumentation example
+- [01-architecture-analysis.md §1.3](./01-architecture-analysis.md) — Transaction flow diagram
+- [01-architecture-analysis.md §1.6](./01-architecture-analysis.md) — tx.receive trace point
+
+---
+
+## Task 3.4: Instrument NetworkOPs Transaction Processing
+
+**Objective**: Trace the transaction processing pipeline in NetworkOPs, covering both sync and async paths.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/misc/NetworkOPs.cpp`:
+  - In `processTransaction()`:
+    - Create `tx.process` span
+    - Set attributes: `xrpl.tx.hash`, `xrpl.tx.type`, `xrpl.tx.local` (whether from RPC or peer)
+    - Record whether sync or async path is taken
+
+  - In `doTransactionAsync()`:
+    - Capture parent context before queuing
+    - Create `tx.queue` span with queue depth attribute
+    - Add event when transaction is dequeued for processing
+
+  - In `doTransactionSync()`:
+    - Create `tx.process_sync` span
+    - Record result (applied, queued, rejected)
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/misc/NetworkOPs.cpp`
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [01-architecture-analysis.md §1.6](./01-architecture-analysis.md) — tx.validate and tx.process trace points
+- [02-design-decisions.md §2.4.3](./02-design-decisions.md) — Transaction attribute schema
+
+---
+
+## Task 3.5: Instrument HashRouter for Dedup Visibility
+
+**Objective**: Make transaction deduplication visible in traces by recording HashRouter decisions as span attributes/events.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp` (in handleTransaction):
+  - After calling `HashRouter::shouldProcess()` or `addSuppressionPeer()`:
+    - Record `xrpl.tx.suppressed` attribute (true/false)
+    - Record `xrpl.tx.flags` showing current HashRouter state (SAVED, TRUSTED, etc.)
+    - Add `tx.first_seen` or `tx.duplicate` event
+
+- This is NOT a modification to HashRouter itself — just recording its decisions as span attributes in the existing PeerImp instrumentation from Task 3.3.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp` (same changes as 3.3, logically grouped)
+
+---
+
+## Task 3.6: Context Propagation in Transaction Relay
+
+**Objective**: Ensure trace context flows correctly when transactions are relayed between peers, creating linked spans across nodes.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Verify the relay path injects trace context:
+  - When `PeerImp` relays a transaction, the `TMTransaction` message should carry `trace_context`
+  - When a remote peer receives it, the context is extracted and used as parent
+
+- Test context propagation:
+  - Manually verify with 2+ node setup that trace IDs match across nodes
+  - Confirm parent-child span relationships are correct in Jaeger
+
+- Handle edge cases:
+  - Missing trace context (older peers): create new root span
+  - Corrupted trace context: log warning, create new root span
+  - Sampled-out traces: respect trace flags
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/OverlayImpl.cpp` (if relay method needs context param)
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [02-design-decisions.md §2.5](./02-design-decisions.md) — Context propagation design
+- [04-code-samples.md §4.5.1](./04-code-samples.md) — Relay context injection pattern
+
+---
+
+## Task 3.7: Build Verification and Testing
+
+**Objective**: Verify all Phase 3 changes compile and work correctly.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+1. Build with `telemetry=ON` — verify no compilation errors
+2. Build with `telemetry=OFF` — verify no regressions
+3. Run existing unit tests
+4. Verify protobuf regeneration produces correct C++ code
+5. Document any issues encountered
+
+**Verification Checklist**:
+
+- [ ] Protobuf changes generate valid C++
+- [ ] Build succeeds with telemetry ON
+- [ ] Build succeeds with telemetry OFF
+- [ ] Existing tests pass
+- [ ] No undefined symbols from new telemetry calls

+- [ ] HashRouter deduplication visible in traces
+- [ ] <5% overhead on transaction throughput
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues / Future Work
+
+### Propagation utilities not yet wired into P2P flow
+
+`extractFromProtobuf()` and `injectToProtobuf()` in `TraceContextPropagator.h`
+are implemented and tested but not called from production code. To enable
+cross-node distributed traces:
+
+- Call `injectToProtobuf()` in `PeerImp` when sending `TMTransaction` /
+  `TMProposeSet` messages
+- Call `extractFromProtobuf()` in the corresponding message handlers to
+  reconstruct the parent span context, then pass it to `startSpan()` as the
+  parent
+
+This was deferred to validate single-node tracing performance first.
+
+### Unused trace_state proto field
+
+The `TraceContext.trace_state` field (field 4) in `xrpl.proto` is reserved for
+W3C `tracestate` vendor-specific key-value pairs but is not read or written by
+`TraceContextPropagator`. Wire it when cross-vendor trace propagation is needed.
+No wire cost since proto `optional` fields are zero-cost when absent.

+## Task 4.1: Instrument Consensus Round Start
+
+**Objective**: Create a root span for each consensus round that captures the round's key parameters.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`:
+  - In `RCLConsensus::startRound()` (or the Adaptor's startRound):
+    - Create `consensus.round` span using `XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS` macro
+    - Set attributes:
+      - `xrpl.consensus.ledger.prev` — previous ledger hash
+      - `xrpl.consensus.ledger.seq` — target ledger sequence
+      - `xrpl.consensus.proposers` — number of trusted proposers
+      - `xrpl.consensus.mode` — "proposing" or "observing"
+    - Store the span context for use by child spans in phase transitions
+
+- Add a member to hold current round trace context:
+  - `opentelemetry::context::Context currentRoundContext_` (guarded by `#ifdef`)
+  - Updated at round start, used by phase transition spans
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.h` (add context member)
+
+**Reference**:

+
+---
+
+## Task 4.2: Instrument Phase Transitions
+
+**Objective**: Create child spans for each consensus phase (open, establish, accept) to show timing breakdown.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`:
+  - Identify where phase transitions occur (the `Consensus<Adaptor>` template drives this)
+  - For each phase entry:
+    - Create span as child of `currentRoundContext_`: `consensus.phase.open`, `consensus.phase.establish`, `consensus.phase.accept`
+    - Set `xrpl.consensus.phase` attribute
+    - Add `phase.enter` event at start, `phase.exit` event at end
+    - Record phase duration in milliseconds
+
+  - In the `onClose` adaptor method:
+    - Create `consensus.ledger_close` span
+    - Set attributes: close_time, mode, transaction count in initial position
+
+  - Note: The Consensus template class in `include/xrpl/consensus/Consensus.h` drives phase transitions — check if instrumentation goes there or in the Adaptor
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+- Possibly `include/xrpl/consensus/Consensus.h` (for template-level phase tracking)
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [04-code-samples.md §4.5.2](./04-code-samples.md) — phaseTransition instrumentation
+
+---
+
+## Task 4.3: Instrument Proposal Handling
+
+**Objective**: Trace proposal send and receive to show validator coordination.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`:
+  - In `Adaptor::propose()`:
+    - Create `consensus.proposal.send` span
+    - Set attributes: `xrpl.consensus.round` (proposal sequence), proposal hash
+    - Inject trace context into outgoing `TMProposeSet::trace_context` (from Phase 3 protobuf)
+
+  - In `Adaptor::peerProposal()` (or wherever peer proposals are received):
+    - Extract trace context from incoming `TMProposeSet::trace_context`
+    - Create `consensus.proposal.receive` span as child of extracted context
+    - Set attributes: `xrpl.consensus.proposer` (node ID), `xrpl.consensus.round`
+
+  - In `Adaptor::share(RCLCxPeerPos)`:
+    - Create `consensus.proposal.relay` span for relaying peer proposals
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`

+
+---
+
+## Task 4.4: Instrument Validation Handling
+
+**Objective**: Trace validation send and receive to show ledger validation flow.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp` (or the validation handler):
+  - When sending our validation:
+    - Create `consensus.validation.send` span
+    - Set attributes: validated ledger hash, sequence, signing time
+
+  - When receiving a peer validation:
+    - Extract trace context from `TMValidation::trace_context` (if present)
+    - Create `consensus.validation.receive` span
+    - Set attributes: `xrpl.consensus.validator` (node ID), ledger hash
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/app/misc/NetworkOPs.cpp` (if validation handling is here)
+
+---
+
+## Task 4.5: Add Consensus-Specific Attributes
+
+**Objective**: Enrich consensus spans with detailed attributes for debugging and analysis.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Review all consensus spans and ensure they include:
+  - `xrpl.consensus.ledger.seq` — target ledger sequence number
+  - `xrpl.consensus.round` — consensus round number
+  - `xrpl.consensus.mode` — proposing/observing/wrongLedger
+  - `xrpl.consensus.phase` — current phase name
+  - `xrpl.consensus.phase_duration_ms` — time spent in phase
+  - `xrpl.consensus.proposers` — number of trusted proposers
+  - `xrpl.consensus.tx_count` — transactions in proposed set
+  - `xrpl.consensus.disputes` — number of disputed transactions
+  - `xrpl.consensus.converge_percent` — convergence percentage
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+
+---
+
+## Task 4.6: Correlate Transaction and Consensus Traces
+
+**Objective**: Link transaction traces from Phase 3 with consensus traces so you can follow a transaction from submission through consensus into the ledger.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- In `onClose()` or `onAccept()`:
+  - When building the consensus position, link the round span to individual transaction spans using span links (if OTel SDK supports it) or events
+  - At minimum, record the transaction hashes included in the consensus set as span events: `tx.included` with `xrpl.tx.hash` attribute
+
+- In `processTransactionSet()` (NetworkOPs):
+  - If the consensus round span context is available, create child spans for each transaction applied to the ledger
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/app/misc/NetworkOPs.cpp`

+
+## Task 4.7: Build Verification and Testing
+
+**Objective**: Verify all Phase 4 changes compile and don't affect consensus timing.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+1. Build with `telemetry=ON` — verify no compilation errors
+2. Build with `telemetry=OFF` — verify no regressions (critical for consensus code)
+3. Run existing consensus-related unit tests
+4. Verify that all macros expand to no-ops when disabled
+5. Check that no consensus-critical code paths are affected by instrumentation overhead
+
+**Verification Checklist**:
+
+- [ ] Build succeeds with telemetry ON
+- [ ] Build succeeds with telemetry OFF
+- [ ] Existing consensus tests pass
+- [ ] No new includes in consensus headers when telemetry is OFF
+- [ ] Phase timing instrumentation doesn't use blocking operations

+## Task 5.1: Add Spanmetrics Connector to OTel Collector
+
+**Objective**: Derive RED metrics (Rate, Errors, Duration) from trace spans automatically, enabling Grafana time-series dashboards.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`:
+  - Add `spanmetrics` connector:
+    ```yaml
+    connectors:
+      spanmetrics:
+        histogram:
+          explicit:
+            buckets: [1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 25ms, 50ms, 100ms, 250ms, 500ms, 1s, 5s]
+        dimensions:
+          - name: xrpl.rpc.command
+          - name: xrpl.rpc.status
+          - name: xrpl.consensus.phase
+          - name: xrpl.tx.type
+    ```
+  - Add `prometheus` exporter:
+    ```yaml
+    exporters:
+      prometheus:
+        endpoint: 0.0.0.0:8889
+    ```
+  - Wire the pipeline:
+    ```yaml
+    service:
+      pipelines:
+        traces:
+          receivers: [otlp]
+          processors: [batch]
+          exporters: [debug, otlp/jaeger, spanmetrics]
+        metrics:
+          receivers: [spanmetrics]
+          exporters: [prometheus]
+    ```
+
+- Edit `docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml`:
+  - Expose port `8889` on the collector for Prometheus scraping
+  - Add Prometheus service
+  - Add Prometheus as Grafana datasource
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`
+- `docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml`
+
+**Key new files**:
+
+- `docker/telemetry/prometheus.yml` (Prometheus scrape config)

+---
+
+## Task 5.2: Create Grafana Dashboards
+
+**Objective**: Provide pre-built Grafana dashboards for RPC performance, transaction lifecycle, and consensus health.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/dashboards.yaml` (provisioning config)
+- Create dashboard JSON files:
+  1. **RPC Performance Dashboard** (`rpc-performance.json`):
+     - RPC request latency (p50/p95/p99) by command — histogram panel
+     - RPC throughput (requests/sec) by command — time series
+     - RPC error rate by command — bar gauge
+     - Top slowest RPC commands — table
+
+  2. **Transaction Overview Dashboard** (`transaction-overview.json`):
+     - Transaction processing rate — time series
+     - Transaction latency distribution — histogram
+     - Suppression rate (duplicates) — stat panel
+     - Transaction processing path (sync vs async) — pie chart
+
+  3. **Consensus Health Dashboard** (`consensus-health.json`):
+     - Consensus round duration — time series
+     - Phase duration breakdown (open/establish/accept) — stacked bar
+     - Proposals sent/received per round — stat panel
+     - Consensus mode distribution (proposing/observing) — pie chart
+
+- Store dashboards in `docker/telemetry/grafana/dashboards/`
+
+**Key new files**:
+
+- `docker/telemetry/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/dashboards.yaml`
+- `docker/telemetry/grafana/dashboards/rpc-performance.json`
+- `docker/telemetry/grafana/dashboards/transaction-overview.json`
+- `docker/telemetry/grafana/dashboards/consensus-health.json`
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [07-observability-backends.md §7.6](./07-observability-backends.md) — Grafana dashboard specifications
+- [01-architecture-analysis.md §1.8.3](./01-architecture-analysis.md) — Dashboard panel examples
+
+---
+
+## Task 5.3: Define Alert Rules
+
+**Objective**: Create alert definitions for key telemetry anomalies.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/grafana/provisioning/alerting/alerts.yaml`:
+  - **RPC Latency Alert**: p99 latency > 1s for any command over 5 minutes
+  - **RPC Error Rate Alert**: Error rate > 5% for any command over 5 minutes
+  - **Consensus Duration Alert**: Round duration > 10s (warn), > 30s (critical)
+  - **Transaction Processing Alert**: Processing rate drops below threshold
+  - **Telemetry Pipeline Health**: No spans received for > 2 minutes
+
+**Key new files**:
+
+- `docker/telemetry/grafana/provisioning/alerting/alerts.yaml`
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [07-observability-backends.md §7.6.3](./07-observability-backends.md) — Alert rule definitions
+
+---
+
+## Task 5.4: Production Collector Configuration
+
+**Objective**: Create a production-ready OTel Collector configuration with tail-based sampling and resource limits.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config-production.yaml`:
+  - Tail-based sampling policy:
+    - Always sample errors and slow traces
+    - 10% base sampling rate for normal traces
+    - Always sample first trace for each unique RPC command
+  - Resource limits:
+    - Memory limiter processor (80% of available memory)
+    - Queued retry for export failures
+  - TLS configuration for production endpoints
+  - Health check endpoint
+
+**Key new files**:
+
+- `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config-production.yaml`
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [05-configuration-reference.md §5.5.2](./05-configuration-reference.md) — Production collector config
+
+---
+
+## Task 5.5: Operator Runbook
+
+**Objective**: Create operator documentation for managing the telemetry system in production.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docs/telemetry-runbook.md`:
+  - **Setup**: How to enable telemetry in rippled
+  - **Configuration**: All config options with descriptions
+  - **Collector Deployment**: Docker Compose vs. Kubernetes vs. bare metal
+  - **Troubleshooting**: Common issues and resolutions
+    - No traces appearing
+    - High memory usage from telemetry
+    - Collector connection failures
+    - Sampling configuration tuning
+  - **Performance Tuning**: Batch size, queue size, sampling ratio guidelines
+  - **Upgrading**: How to upgrade OTel SDK and Collector versions
+
+**Key new files**:
+
+- `docs/telemetry-runbook.md`
+
+---
+
+## Task 5.6: Final Integration Testing
+
+**Objective**: Validate the complete telemetry stack end-to-end.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+1. Start full Docker stack (Collector, Jaeger, Grafana, Prometheus)
+2. Build rippled with `telemetry=ON`
+3. Run in standalone mode with telemetry enabled
+4. Generate RPC traffic and verify traces in Jaeger
+5. Verify dashboards populate in Grafana
+6. Verify alerts trigger correctly
+7. Test telemetry OFF path (no regressions)
+8. Run full test suite
+
+**Verification Checklist**:
+
+- [ ] Docker stack starts without errors
+- [ ] Traces appear in Jaeger with correct hierarchy
+- [ ] Grafana dashboards show metrics derived from spans
+- [ ] Prometheus scrapes spanmetrics successfully
+- [ ] Alerts can be triggered by simulated conditions
+- [ ] Build succeeds with telemetry ON and OFF
+- [ ] Full test suite passes

+# OpenTelemetry Integration Testing Guide
+
+This document describes how to verify the rippled OpenTelemetry telemetry
+pipeline end-to-end, from span generation through the observability stack
+(otel-collector, Jaeger, Prometheus, Grafana).
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Build xrpld with telemetry
+
+```bash
+conan install . --build=missing -o telemetry=True
+cmake --preset default -Dtelemetry=ON
+cmake --build --preset default --target xrpld
+```
+
+The binary is at `.build/xrpld`.
+
+### Required tools
+
+- **Docker** with `docker compose` (v2)
+- **curl**
+- **jq** (JSON processor)
+
+### Verify binary
+
+```bash
+.build/xrpld --version
+```
+
+---
+
+## Test 1: Single-Node Standalone (Quick Verification)
+
+This test verifies RPC and transaction spans in standalone mode. Consensus
+spans will not fire because standalone mode does not run consensus.
+
+### Step 1: Start the observability stack
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+Wait for services to be ready:
+
+```bash
+# otel-collector health
+curl -sf http://localhost:13133/ && echo "collector ready"
+
+# Jaeger UI
+curl -sf http://localhost:16686/ > /dev/null && echo "jaeger ready"
+```
+
+### Step 2: Start xrpld in standalone mode
+
+```bash
+.build/xrpld --conf docker/telemetry/xrpld-telemetry.cfg -a --start
+```
+
+Wait a few seconds for the node to initialize.
+
+### Step 3: Exercise RPC spans
+
+```bash
+# server_info
+curl -s http://localhost:5005 \
+  -d '{"method":"server_info"}' | jq .result.info.server_state
+
+# server_state
+curl -s http://localhost:5005 \
+  -d '{"method":"server_state"}' | jq .result.state.server_state
+
+# ledger
+curl -s http://localhost:5005 \
+  -d '{"method":"ledger","params":[{"ledger_index":"current"}]}' \
+  | jq .result.ledger_current_index
+```
+
+### Step 4: Submit a transaction
+
+Close the ledger first (required in standalone mode):
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:5005 -d '{"method":"ledger_accept"}'
+```
+
+Submit a Payment from the genesis account:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:5005 -d '{
+  "method": "submit",
+  "params": [{
+    "secret": "snoPBrXtMeMyMHUVTgbuqAfg1SUTb",
+    "tx_json": {
+      "TransactionType": "Payment",
+      "Account": "rHb9CJAWyB4rj91VRWn96DkukG4bwdtyTh",
+      "Destination": "rPMh7Pi9ct699iZUTWzJaUMR1o42VEfGqF",
+      "Amount": "10000000"
+    }
+  }]
+}' | jq .result.engine_result
+```
+
+Expected result: `"tesSUCCESS"`.
+
+Close the ledger again to finalize:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:5005 -d '{"method":"ledger_accept"}'
+```
+
+### Step 5: Verify traces in Jaeger
+
+Wait 5 seconds for the batch export, then:
+
+```bash
+JAEGER="http://localhost:16686"
+
+# Check rippled service is registered
+curl -s "$JAEGER/api/services" | jq '.data'
+
+# Check RPC spans
+curl -s "$JAEGER/api/traces?service=rippled&operation=rpc.request&limit=5&lookback=1h" \
+  | jq '.data | length'
+
+curl -s "$JAEGER/api/traces?service=rippled&operation=rpc.process&limit=5&lookback=1h" \
+  | jq '.data | length'
+
+curl -s "$JAEGER/api/traces?service=rippled&operation=rpc.command.server_info&limit=5&lookback=1h" \
+  | jq '.data | length'
+
+# Check transaction spans
+curl -s "$JAEGER/api/traces?service=rippled&operation=tx.process&limit=5&lookback=1h" \
+  | jq '.data | length'
+```
+
+Or open the Jaeger UI: http://localhost:16686
+
+### Step 6: Teardown
+
+```bash
+# Kill xrpld (Ctrl+C or)
+kill $(pgrep -f 'xrpld.*xrpld-telemetry')
+
+# Stop observability stack
+docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml down
+
+# Clean xrpld data
+rm -rf data/
+```
+
+### Expected spans (standalone mode)
+
+| Span Name                   | Expected | Notes                         |
+| --------------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------- |
+| `rpc.request`               | Yes      | Every HTTP RPC call           |
+| `rpc.process`               | Yes      | Every RPC processing          |
+| `rpc.command.server_info`   | Yes      | server_info RPC               |
+| `rpc.command.server_state`  | Yes      | server_state RPC              |
+| `rpc.command.ledger`        | Yes      | ledger RPC                    |
+| `rpc.command.submit`        | Yes      | submit RPC                    |
+| `rpc.command.ledger_accept` | Yes      | ledger_accept RPC             |
+| `tx.process`                | Yes      | Transaction submission        |
+| `tx.receive`                | No       | No peers in standalone        |
+| `consensus.*`               | No       | Consensus disabled standalone |
+
+---
+
+## Test 2: 6-Node Consensus Network (Full Verification)
+
+This test verifies ALL span categories including consensus and peer
+transaction relay, using a 6-node validator network.
+
+### Automated
+
+Run the integration test script:
+
+```bash
+bash docker/telemetry/integration-test.sh
+```
+
+The script will:
+
+1. Start the observability stack
+2. Generate 6 validator key pairs
+3. Create config files for each node
+4. Start all 6 nodes
+5. Wait for consensus ("proposing" state)
+6. Exercise RPC, submit transactions
+7. Verify all span categories in Jaeger
+8. Verify spanmetrics in Prometheus
+9. Print results and leave the stack running
+
+### Manual
+
+If you prefer to run the steps manually:
+
+#### Step 1: Start observability stack
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+#### Step 2: Generate validator keys
+
+Start a temporary standalone xrpld:
+
+```bash
+.build/xrpld --conf docker/telemetry/xrpld-telemetry.cfg -a --start &
+TEMP_PID=$!
+sleep 5
+```
+
+Generate 6 key pairs:
+
+```bash
+for i in $(seq 1 6); do
+  curl -s http://localhost:5005 \
+    -d '{"method":"validation_create"}' | jq '.result'
+done
+```
+
+Record the `validation_seed` and `validation_public_key` for each.
+Kill the temporary node:
+
+```bash
+kill $TEMP_PID
+rm -rf data/
+```
+
+#### Step 3: Create node configs
+
+For each node (1-6), create a config file. Template:
+
+```ini
+[server]
+port_rpc
+port_peer
+
+[port_rpc]
+port = {5004 + node_number}
+ip = 127.0.0.1
+admin = 127.0.0.1
+protocol = http
+
+[port_peer]
+port = {51234 + node_number}
+ip = 0.0.0.0
+protocol = peer
+
+[node_db]
+type=NuDB
+path=/tmp/xrpld-integration/node{N}/nudb
+online_delete=256
+
+[database_path]
+/tmp/xrpld-integration/node{N}/db
+
+[debug_logfile]
+/tmp/xrpld-integration/node{N}/debug.log
+
+[validation_seed]
+{seed from step 2}
+
+[validators_file]
+/tmp/xrpld-integration/validators.txt
+
+[ips_fixed]
+127.0.0.1 51235
+127.0.0.1 51236
+127.0.0.1 51237
+127.0.0.1 51238
+127.0.0.1 51239
+127.0.0.1 51240
+
+[peer_private]
+1
+
+[telemetry]
+enabled=1
+endpoint=http://localhost:4318/v1/traces
+exporter=otlp_http
+sampling_ratio=1.0
+batch_size=512
+batch_delay_ms=2000
+max_queue_size=2048
+trace_rpc=1
+trace_transactions=1
+trace_consensus=1
+trace_peer=0
+trace_ledger=1
+
+[rpc_startup]
+{ "command": "log_level", "severity": "warning" }
+
+[ssl_verify]
+0
+```
+
+#### Step 4: Create validators.txt
+
+```ini
+[validators]
+{public_key_1}
+{public_key_2}
+{public_key_3}
+{public_key_4}
+{public_key_5}
+{public_key_6}
+```
+
+#### Step 5: Start all 6 nodes
+
+```bash
+for i in $(seq 1 6); do
+  .build/xrpld --conf /tmp/xrpld-integration/node$i/xrpld.cfg --start &
+  echo $! > /tmp/xrpld-integration/node$i/xrpld.pid
+done
+```
+
+#### Step 6: Wait for consensus
+
+Poll each node until `server_state` = `"proposing"`:
+
+```bash
+for port in 5005 5006 5007 5008 5009 5010; do
+  while true; do
+    state=$(curl -s http://localhost:$port \
+      -d '{"method":"server_info"}' \
+      | jq -r '.result.info.server_state')
+    echo "Port $port: $state"
+    [ "$state" = "proposing" ] && break
+    sleep 5
+  done
+done
+```
+
+#### Step 7: Exercise RPC and submit transaction
+
+```bash
+# RPC calls
+curl -s http://localhost:5005 -d '{"method":"server_info"}'
+curl -s http://localhost:5005 -d '{"method":"server_state"}'
+curl -s http://localhost:5005 -d '{"method":"ledger","params":[{"ledger_index":"current"}]}'
+
+# Submit transaction
+curl -s http://localhost:5005 -d '{
+  "method": "submit",
+  "params": [{
+    "secret": "snoPBrXtMeMyMHUVTgbuqAfg1SUTb",
+    "tx_json": {
+      "TransactionType": "Payment",
+      "Account": "rHb9CJAWyB4rj91VRWn96DkukG4bwdtyTh",
+      "Destination": "rPMh7Pi9ct699iZUTWzJaUMR1o42VEfGqF",
+      "Amount": "10000000"
+    }
+  }]
+}'
+```
+
+Wait 15 seconds for consensus and batch export.
+
+#### Step 8: Verify in Jaeger

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No traces in Jaeger
+
+1. Check otel-collector logs:
+   ```bash
+   docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml logs otel-collector
+   ```
+2. Verify xrpld telemetry config has `enabled=1` and correct endpoint
+3. Check that otel-collector port 4318 is accessible:
+   ```bash
+   curl -sf http://localhost:4318 && echo "reachable"
+   ```
+4. Increase `batch_delay_ms` or decrease `batch_size` in xrpld config
+
+### Nodes not reaching "proposing" state
+
+1. Check that all peer ports (51235-51240) are not in use:
+   ```bash
+   for p in 51235 51236 51237 51238 51239 51240; do
+     ss -tlnp | grep ":$p " && echo "port $p in use"
+   done
+   ```
+2. Verify `[ips_fixed]` lists all 6 peer ports
+3. Verify `validators.txt` has all 6 public keys
+4. Check node debug logs: `tail -50 /tmp/xrpld-integration/node1/debug.log`
+5. Ensure `[peer_private]` is set to `1` (prevents reaching out to public network)
+
+### Transaction not processing
+
+1. Verify genesis account exists:
+   ```bash
+   curl -s http://localhost:5005 \
+     -d '{"method":"account_info","params":[{"account":"rHb9CJAWyB4rj91VRWn96DkukG4bwdtyTh"}]}' \
+     | jq .result.account_data.Balance
+   ```
+2. Check submit response for error codes
+3. In standalone mode, remember to call `ledger_accept` after submitting
+
+### Spanmetrics not appearing in Prometheus
+
+1. Verify otel-collector config has `spanmetrics` connector
+2. Check that the metrics pipeline is configured:
+   ```yaml
+   service:
+     pipelines:
+       metrics:
+         receivers: [spanmetrics]
+         exporters: [prometheus]
+   ```
+3. Verify Prometheus can reach collector:
+   ```bash
+   curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets | jq '.data.activeTargets'
+   ```

+# Using Nix Development Shell for xrpld Development
+
+This guide explains how to use Nix to set up a reproducible development environment for xrpld. Using Nix eliminates the need to manually install utilities and ensures consistent tooling across different machines.
+
+## Benefits of Using Nix
+
+- **Reproducible environment**: Everyone gets the same versions of tools and compilers
+- **No system pollution**: Dependencies are isolated and don't affect your system packages
+- **Multiple compiler versions**: Easily switch between different GCC and Clang versions
+- **Quick setup**: Get started with a single command
+- **Works on Linux and macOS**: Consistent experience across platforms
+
+## Install Nix
+
+Please follow [the official installation instructions of nix package manager](https://nixos.org/download/) for your system.
+
+## Entering the Development Shell
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+From the root of the xrpld repository, enter the default development shell:
+
+```bash
+nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' develop
+```
+
+This will:
+
+- Download and set up all required development tools (CMake, Ninja, Conan, etc.)
+- Configure the appropriate compiler for your platform:
+  - **macOS**: Apple Clang (default system compiler)
+  - **Linux**: GCC 15
+
+The first time you run this command, it will take a few minutes to download and build the environment. Subsequent runs will be much faster.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> To avoid typing `--experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'` every time, you can permanently enable flakes by creating `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`:
+>
+> ```bash
+> mkdir -p ~/.config/nix
+> echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
+> ```
+>
+> After this, you can simply use `nix develop` instead.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The examples below assume you've enabled flakes in your config. If you haven't, add `--experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'` after each `nix` command.
+
+### Choosing a different compiler
+
+A compiler can be chosen by providing its name with the `.#` prefix, e.g. `nix develop .#gcc15`.
+Use `nix flake show` to see all the available development shells.
+
+Use `nix develop .#no_compiler` to use the compiler from your system.
+
+### Example Usage
+
+```bash
+# Use GCC 14
+nix develop .#gcc14
+
+# Use Clang 19
+nix develop .#clang19
+
+# Use default for your platform
+nix develop
+```
+
+### Using a different shell
+
+`nix develop` opens bash by default. If you want to use another shell this could be done by adding `-c` flag. For example:
+
+```bash
+nix develop -c zsh
+```
+
+## Building xrpld with Nix
+
+Once inside the Nix development shell, follow the standard [build instructions](../../BUILD.md#steps). The Nix shell provides all necessary tools (CMake, Ninja, Conan, etc.).
+
+## Automatic Activation with direnv
+
+[direnv](https://direnv.net/) or [nix-direnv](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv) can automatically activate the Nix development shell when you enter the repository directory.
+
+## Conan and Prebuilt Packages
+
+Please note that there is no guarantee that binaries from conan cache will work when using nix. If you encounter any errors, please use `--build '*'` to force conan to compile everything from source:
+
+```bash
+conan install .. --output-folder . --build '*' --settings build_type=Release
+```
+
+## Updating `flake.lock` file
+
+To update `flake.lock` to the latest revision use `nix flake update` command.

+
+## Overview
+
+Rippled supports optional [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) distributed tracing.
+When enabled, it instruments RPC requests with trace spans that are exported via
+OTLP/HTTP to an OpenTelemetry Collector, which forwards them to a tracing backend
+such as Jaeger.
+
+Telemetry is **off by default** at both compile time and runtime:
+
+- **Compile time**: The Conan option `telemetry` and CMake option `telemetry` must be set to `True`/`ON`.
+  When disabled, all tracing macros compile to `((void)0)` with zero overhead.
+- **Runtime**: The `[telemetry]` config section must set `enabled=1`.
+  When disabled at runtime, a no-op implementation is used.
+
+## Building with Telemetry
+
+### Summary
+
+Follow the same instructions as mentioned in [BUILD.md](../../BUILD.md) but with the following changes:
+
+1. Pass `-o telemetry=True` to `conan install` to pull the `opentelemetry-cpp` dependency.
+2. CMake will automatically pick up `telemetry=ON` from the Conan-generated toolchain.
+3. Build as usual.
+
+---
+
+### Build steps
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/rippled
+rm -rf .build
+mkdir .build
+cd .build
+```
+
+#### Install dependencies
+
+The `telemetry` option adds `opentelemetry-cpp/1.18.0` as a dependency.
+If the Conan lockfile does not yet include this package, bypass it with `--lockfile=""`.
+
+```bash
+conan install .. \
+    --output-folder . \
+    --build missing \
+    --settings build_type=Debug \
+    -o telemetry=True \
+    -o tests=True \
+    -o xrpld=True \
+    --lockfile=""
+```
+
+> **Note**: The first build with telemetry may take longer as `opentelemetry-cpp`
+> and its transitive dependencies are compiled from source.
+
+#### Call CMake
+
+The Conan-generated toolchain file sets `telemetry=ON` automatically.
+No additional CMake flags are needed beyond the standard ones.
+
+```bash
+cmake .. -G Ninja \
+    -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:FILEPATH=build/generators/conan_toolchain.cmake \
+    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
+    -Dtests=ON -Dxrpld=ON
+```
+
+You should see in the CMake output:
+
+```
+-- OpenTelemetry tracing enabled
+```
+
+#### Build
+
+```bash
+cmake --build . --parallel $(nproc)
+```
+
+### Building without telemetry
+
+Omit the `-o telemetry=True` option (or pass `-o telemetry=False`).
+The `opentelemetry-cpp` dependency will not be downloaded,
+the `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` preprocessor define will not be set,
+and all tracing macros will compile to no-ops.
+The resulting binary is identical to one built before telemetry support was added.
+
+## Runtime Configuration
+
+Add a `[telemetry]` section to your `xrpld.cfg` file:
+
+```ini
+[telemetry]
+enabled=1
+service_name=rippled
+endpoint=http://localhost:4318/v1/traces
+sampling_ratio=1.0
+trace_rpc=1
+trace_transactions=1
+trace_consensus=1
+trace_peer=0

+
+## Observability Stack
+
+A Docker Compose stack is provided in `docker/telemetry/` with three services:
+
+| Service            | Port                                           | Purpose                                              |
+| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
+| **OTel Collector** | `4317` (gRPC), `4318` (HTTP), `13133` (health) | Receives OTLP spans, batches, and forwards to Jaeger |
+| **Jaeger**         | `16686` (UI)                                   | Trace storage and visualization                      |
+| **Grafana**        | `3000`                                         | Dashboards (Jaeger pre-configured as datasource)     |
+
+### Start the stack
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+### Verify the stack
+
+```bash
+# Collector health
+curl http://localhost:13133
+
+# Jaeger UI
+open http://localhost:16686
+
+# Grafana
+open http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+### View traces in Jaeger
+
+1. Open `http://localhost:16686` in a browser.
+2. Select the service name (e.g. `rippled`) from the **Service** dropdown.
+3. Click **Find Traces**.
+4. Click into any trace to see the span tree and attributes.
+
+Traced RPC operations produce a span hierarchy like:
+
+```
+rpc.request
+  └── rpc.command.server_info  (xrpl.rpc.command=server_info, xrpl.rpc.status=success)
+```
+
+Each span includes attributes:
+
+- `xrpl.rpc.command` — the RPC method name
+- `xrpl.rpc.version` — API version
+- `xrpl.rpc.role` — `admin` or `user`
+- `xrpl.rpc.status` — `success` or `error`
+
+## Running Tests
+
+Unit tests run with the telemetry-enabled build regardless of whether the
+observability stack is running. When no collector is available, the exporter
+silently drops spans with no impact on test results.
+
+```bash
+# Run all RPC tests
+./xrpld --unittest=RPCCall,ServerInfo,AccountTx,LedgerRPC,Transaction --unittest-jobs $(nproc)
+
+# Run the full test suite
+./xrpld --unittest --unittest-jobs $(nproc)
+```
+
+To generate traces during manual testing, start rippled in standalone mode:
+
+```bash
+./xrpld --conf /path/to/xrpld.cfg --standalone --start
+```
+
+Then send RPC requests:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5005/ \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{"method":"server_info","params":[{}]}'
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No traces appear in Jaeger
+
+1. Confirm the OTel Collector is running: `docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml ps`
+2. Check collector logs for errors: `docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml logs otel-collector`
+3. Confirm `[telemetry] enabled=1` is set in the rippled config.
+4. Confirm `endpoint` points to the correct collector address (`http://localhost:4318/v1/traces`).
+5. Wait for the batch delay to elapse (default `5000` ms) before checking Jaeger.
+
+### Conan lockfile error
+
+If you see `ERROR: Requirement 'opentelemetry-cpp/1.18.0' not in lockfile 'requires'`,
+the lockfile was generated without the telemetry dependency.
+Pass `--lockfile=""` to bypass the lockfile, or regenerate it with telemetry enabled.
+
+### CMake target not found
+
+If CMake reports that `opentelemetry-cpp` targets are not found,
+ensure you ran `conan install` with `-o telemetry=True` and that the
+Conan-generated toolchain file is being used.
+The Conan package provides a single umbrella target
+`opentelemetry-cpp::opentelemetry-cpp` (not individual component targets).
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Key files
+
+| File                                           | Purpose                                                     |

+| `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`  | OTel Collector pipeline configuration                       |
+
+### Conditional compilation
+
+All OpenTelemetry SDK headers are guarded behind `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`.
+The instrumentation macros in `TracingInstrumentation.h` compile to `((void)0)` when
+the define is absent.
+At runtime, if `enabled=0` is set in config (or the section is omitted), a
+`NullTelemetry` implementation is used that returns no-op spans.
+This two-layer approach ensures zero overhead when telemetry is not wanted.

+## Prometheus Metrics (Spanmetrics)
+
+The OTel Collector's spanmetrics connector automatically derives RED (Rate, Errors, Duration) metrics from every span. No custom metrics code is needed in rippled.
+
+### Generated Metric Names
+
+| Prometheus Metric                                  | Type      | Description                  |
+| -------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ---------------------------- |
+| `traces_span_metrics_calls_total`                  | Counter   | Total span invocations       |
+| `traces_span_metrics_duration_milliseconds_bucket` | Histogram | Latency distribution buckets |
+| `traces_span_metrics_duration_milliseconds_count`  | Histogram | Latency observation count    |
+| `traces_span_metrics_duration_milliseconds_sum`    | Histogram | Cumulative latency           |
+
+### Metric Labels
+
+Every metric carries these standard labels:
+
+| Label          | Source             | Example                                  |
+| -------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `span_name`    | Span name          | `rpc.command.server_info`                |
+| `status_code`  | Span status        | `STATUS_CODE_UNSET`, `STATUS_CODE_ERROR` |
+| `service_name` | Resource attribute | `rippled`                                |
+| `span_kind`    | Span kind          | `SPAN_KIND_INTERNAL`                     |
+
+Additionally, span attributes configured as dimensions in the collector become metric labels (dots → underscores):
+
+| Span Attribute                 | Metric Label                   | Applies To                      |
+| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
+| `xrpl.rpc.command`             | `xrpl_rpc_command`             | `rpc.command.*` spans           |
+| `xrpl.rpc.status`              | `xrpl_rpc_status`              | `rpc.command.*` spans           |
+| `xrpl.consensus.mode`          | `xrpl_consensus_mode`          | `consensus.ledger_close` spans  |
+| `xrpl.tx.local`                | `xrpl_tx_local`                | `tx.process` spans              |
+| `xrpl.peer.proposal.trusted`   | `xrpl_peer_proposal_trusted`   | `peer.proposal.receive` spans   |
+| `xrpl.peer.validation.trusted` | `xrpl_peer_validation_trusted` | `peer.validation.receive` spans |
+
+### Histogram Buckets
+
+Configured in `otel-collector-config.yaml`:
+
+```
+1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 25ms, 50ms, 100ms, 250ms, 500ms, 1s, 5s
+```
+
+## StatsD Metrics (beast::insight)
+
+rippled has a built-in metrics framework (`beast::insight`) that emits StatsD-format metrics over UDP. These complement the span-derived RED metrics by providing system-level gauges, counters, and timers that don't map to individual trace spans.
+
+### Configuration
+
+Add to `xrpld.cfg`:
+
+```ini
+[insight]
+server=statsd
+address=127.0.0.1:8125
+prefix=rippled
+```
+
+The OTel Collector receives these via a `statsd` receiver on UDP port 8125 and exports them to Prometheus alongside spanmetrics.

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No traces appearing in Jaeger
+
+1. Check rippled logs for `Telemetry starting` message
+2. Verify `enabled=1` in the `[telemetry]` config section
+3. Test collector connectivity: `curl -v http://localhost:4318/v1/traces`
+4. Check collector logs: `docker compose logs otel-collector`
+
+### High memory usage
+
+- Reduce `sampling_ratio` (e.g., `0.1` for 10% sampling)
+- Reduce `max_queue_size` and `batch_size`
+- Disable high-volume trace categories: `trace_peer=0`
+
+### Collector connection failures
+
+- Verify endpoint URL matches collector address
+- Check firewall rules for ports 4317/4318
+- If using TLS, verify certificate path with `tls_ca_cert`
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+| Scenario                 | Recommendation                                    |
+| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| Production mainnet       | `sampling_ratio=0.01`, `trace_peer=0`             |
+| Testnet/devnet           | `sampling_ratio=1.0` (full tracing)               |
+| Debugging specific issue | `sampling_ratio=1.0` temporarily                  |
+| High-throughput node     | Increase `batch_size=1024`, `max_queue_size=4096` |
+
+## Disabling Telemetry
+
+Set `enabled=0` in config (runtime disable) or build without the flag:
+
+```bash
+cmake --preset default -Dtelemetry=OFF
+```
+
+When telemetry is compiled out, all trace macros expand to no-ops with zero overhead.
