The openobserve module sends OpenTelemetry traces from apps/api to your OpenObserve instance. It is off by default.
findplate create my-app --modules openobserveWhat it adds
Files and folders:
apps/api/src/openobserve.ts
Packages:

Env keys
OPENOBSERVE_URL=
OPENOBSERVE_ORG=default
OPENOBSERVE_USER=
OPENOBSERVE_PASSWORD=apps/api/src/openobserve.ts starts the node sdk with an OTLP http exporter. Without OPENOBSERVE_URL it does nothing. A compose file is in self-hosted tools.
Remove
Run findplate remove openobserve in the project, see add and doctor. It deletes the files the module owns, strips its code from shared files and drops its packages, only where you haven't edited them.
If you'd rather do it by hand: for a new project leave openobserve out of --modules. In a project that already exists, delete the paths above, drop its packages from the package.json files, remove its env block and fix what pnpm check-types reports.
Swap
The exporter is plain OTLP over http, so any OTLP backend works. Change the exporter url and the Authorization header in apps/api/src/openobserve.ts to use Grafana Tempo, Honeycomb or similar.
