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 [automatically collects](opentelemetry-add-modify.md#automatic-data-collection) traces, metrics, logs, and exceptions across your application and its dependencies.

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.

In the spirit of OpenTelemetry, we designed the distro to be open and extensible. For example, you can add:

31
31
- An OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) exporter and send to a second destination simultaneously
32
32
- Other instrumentation libraries not included in the distro

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.

> The Distro currently supports only one sampler, a custom fixed-rate sampler for Application Insights. You can change this support, but doing so might disable some of the Distro's included capabilities.

> For more information about the supported sampler, see the [Enable Sampling](opentelemetry-configuration.md#enable-sampling) section of [Configure Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry](opentelemetry-configuration.md).
