+# OpenAI Zero-Code Instrumentation Examples
+
+This is an example of how to instrument OpenAI calls with zero code changes,
+using `instrumentation-openai-java` included in the Elastic Distribution of
+OpenTelemetry Java ([EDOT Java][edot-java]).
+
+When OpenAI examples run, they export traces, metrics and logs to an OTLP
+compatible endpoint. Traces and metrics include details such as the model used
+and the duration of the LLM request. In the case of chat, Logs capture the
+request and the generated response. The combination of these provide a
+comprehensive view of the performance and behavior of your OpenAI usage.
+
+## Install
+
+Download the EDOT javaagent binary.
+
+```bash
+curl -o elastic-otel-javaagent.jar -L 'https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=releases&g=co.elastic.otel&a=elastic-otel-javaagent&v=LATEST'
+```
+
+Build the example application.
+
+```bash
+./gradlew clean assemble
+```
+
+Download shdotenv to load `.env` file when running.
+
+```bash
+curl -O -L https://github.com/ko1nksm/shdotenv/releases/download/v0.14.0/shdotenv
+chmod +x ./shdotenv
+```
+
+## Configure
+
+Copy [env.example](env.example) to `.env` and update its `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
+
+An OTLP compatible endpoint should be listening for traces, metrics and logs on
+`http://localhost:4317`. If not, update `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` as well.
+
+For example, if Elastic APM server is running locally, edit `.env` like this:
+```
+OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8200
+```
+
+## Run
+
+There are two examples, and they run the same way:
+
+### Chat
+
+[Chat](src/main/java/openai/example/Chat.java) asks the LLM a geography question and prints the response.
+
+Run it like this:
+```bash
+./shdotenv java -javaagent:elastic-otel-javaagent.jar -jar build/libs/openai-example-all.jar
+```
+
+You should see something like "Atlantic Ocean" unless your LLM hallucinates!
+
+### Embeddings
+
+
+[Embeddings](src/main/java/openai/example/Embeddings.java) creates in-memory VectorDB embeddings about
+Elastic products. Then, it searches for one similar to a question.
+
+Run it like this:
+```bash
+./shdotenv java -classpath build/libs/openai-example-all.jar -javaagent:elastic-otel-javaagent.jar openai.example.Embeddings
+```
+
+You should see something like "Connectors can help you connect to a database",
+unless your LLM hallucinates!

+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/HEAD/platforms/jvm/plugins-application/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
