# Ollygarden Otel Js Setup

> Ollygarden's recommended pattern for setting up OpenTelemetry in Node.js services. Covers project structure, which auto-instrumentations to disable, the entry-point ordering, the programmatic NodeSDK fallback, and the setup checklist (no query strings in telemetry, startup/non-request span hygiene, declarative YAML config, standard OTEL env vars honored, lean resource with service.instance.id) closed by a required verification report. Use when adding OTel to a Node.js project, structuring telemetry code, or reviewing an existing setup. Triggers on "node otel setup", "NodeSDK pattern", "auto instrumentation node", "url.query", "query parameter PII", "service.instance.id".
