Hello,

Sentry currently does not output OTEL-compatible spans for the browser. If you need OTEL spans, you'll have to use some Opentelemetry SDK. Note that we as of now do not provide an out-of-the-box experience to convert otel browser spans to Sentry either - you'd have to take care of that yourself.

What are you actually trying to achieve with this? Do you want to send the span data somewhere else than Sentry as well, or why would you want to have OTEL spans as well?

While we are currently investigating better coupling with OTEL for Node (server) applications, we are currently not doing so for Browser SDKs yet, because of bundle size concerns.

yes，i want to send the span data somewhere else than Sentry as well,for example grafana.
I don't think I understand what the issue of bundle size means. Thank you for your guidance.

The bundle size comment is the explainer why we are currently not investigating this in detail - because we take a strong ownership for the browser SDK to keep bundle size as low as we can.

I'll move this issue to the backlog, as we are not currently working on (or planning to work on) a browser-OTEL connector. We are pretty swamped with other tasks right now, so it's hard to say if/when we'll get around to look into this.
