# Enable Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry for .NET, Node.js, Python, and Java applications
1313

14-
This article describes how to enable and configure OpenTelemetry-based data collection to power the experiences within [Azure Monitor Application Insights](app-insights-overview.md#application-insights-overview). We walk through how to install the *Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Distro*. The Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Distro provides an [OpenTelemetry distribution](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/concepts/distributions/#what-is-a-distribution) that includes support for features specific to Azure Monitor. The Distro enables both [automatic](opentelemetry-add-modify.md#automatic-data-collection) and [custom](opentelemetry-add-modify.md#collect-custom-telemetry) OpenTelemetry instrumentations for collecting traces, metrics, logs, and exceptions across your application and its dependencies. You can also use the [Live Metrics](live-stream.md) feature included in the Distro to monitor and collect additional telemetry from live, in-production web applications.

Because the Distro provides an OpenTelemetry distribution, anything supported by OpenTelemetry is typically supported by the Distro. For example, you can add more telemetry processors, exporters, or instrumentation libraries, if they're supported by OpenTelemetry.
