The exporter for Azure Monitor allows Python applications to export data from
the OpenTelemetry SDK to Azure Monitor. The exporter is intended for users who
require advanced configuration or have more complicated telemetry needs that
require all of distributed tracing, logging and metrics. If you have simpler
configuration requirements, we recommend using the Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry
Distro instead for a simpler one-line setup.

Prior to using this SDK, please read and understand Data Collection Basics,
especially the section on telemetry types. OpenTelemetry terminology differs
from Application Insights terminology so it is important to understand the way
the telemetry types map to each other.
