Moving a Python app from the old Elastic APM agent to the new EDOT agent is important for better observability. The new elastic-opentelemetry package replaces elastic-apm. This guide shows you the exact steps to make the switch.
Follow the migration guide to remove all old APM code and environment variables. You will install new packages and set up the right OpenTelemetry endpoints. The process keeps your application running while improving how you monitor it.
Anyone managing a Python application using Elastic APM will benefit from this migration. It gives you modern tracing and metrics with less configuration. Just follow the steps carefully and test after each change.
