OTel enables the collection of telemetry data from a deployed application stack. ## What is the NGINX Native OTel Module -The `ngx_otel_module` dynamic module enables NGINX Open-Source or NGINX Plus to send telemetry data to an OTel collector. It provides support for [W3C trace context](https://www.w3.org/TR/trace-context/) propagation, OTLP/gRPC trace exports and offers several benefits over exiting OTel modules, including: +The `ngx_otel_module` dynamic module enables NGINX Open Source or NGINX Plus to send telemetry data to an OTel collector.

The NGINX Native module limits this impact to approximately 10-15%.
