-### Structured logs and telemetry for Clojure/Script
+### Structured telemetry library for Clojure/Script

-**Telemere** is the next-gen version of [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre). It offers **one API** to cover:
+**Telemere** is a next-generation replacement for [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre) that offers a simple **unified API** for **structured and traditional logging**, **tracing**, and **basic performance monitoring**.

- **Traditional logging** (string messages)
- **Structured logging** (rich Clojure data types and structures)
- **Tracing** (nested flow tracking, with optional data)
- Basic **performance monitoring** (nested form runtimes)
+It helps enable Clojure/Script systems that are **observable**, **robust**, and **debuggable** - and it represents the refinement and culmination of ideas brewing over 12+ years in [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre), [Tufte](https://www.taoensso.com/tufte), [Truss](https://www.taoensso.com/truss), etc.

-It's pure Clj/s, small, **easy to use**, super fast, and **seriously flexible**:
+> [Terminology] *Telemetry* derives from the Greek *tele* (remote) and *metron* (measure). It refers to the collection of *in situ* (in position) data, for transmission to other systems for monitoring/analysis. *Logs* are the most common form of software telemetry. So think of telemetry as the *superset of logging-like activities* that help monitor and understand (software) systems.

-```clojure
-(tel/log! {:level :info, :id ::login, :data {:user-id 1234}, :msg "User logged in!"})
-```
+## Latest release/s

-Works great with:
+- `2024-08-19` `v1.0.0-beta18`: [release info](../../releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta17) (for early adopters/feedback)

- [Trove](https://www.taoensso.com/trove) for logging by **library authors**
- [Tufte](https://www.taoensso.com/tufte) for rich **performance monitoring**
- [Truss](https://www.taoensso.com/truss) for **assertions** and error handling

-## Why structured logging?
-
- Traditional logging outputs **strings** (messages).
- Structured logging in contrast outputs **data**. It retains **rich data types and (nested) structures** throughout the logging pipeline from logging callsite → filters → middleware → handlers.
-
-A data-oriented pipeline can make a huge difference - supporting **easier filtering**, **transformation**, and **analysis**. It’s also usually **faster**, since you only pay for serialization if/when you need it. In a lot of cases you can avoid serialization altogether if your final target (DB, etc.) supports the relevant types.
-
-The structured (data-oriented) approach is inherently more flexible, faster, and well suited to the tools and idioms offered by Clojure and ClojureScript.

-See [examples.cljc](https://github.com/taoensso/telemere/blob/master/examples.cljc) for REPL-ready snippets, or expand below:
-
-<details><summary>Create signals</summary><br/>
-
-```clojure
-(require '[taoensso.telemere :as tel])
-
-;; No config needed for typical use cases!!
-;; Signals print to console by default for both Clj and Cljs
-
-;; Traditional style logging (data formatted into message string):
-(tel/log! {:level :info, :msg (str "User " 1234 " logged in!")})
-
-;; Modern/structured style logging (explicit id and data)
-(tel/log! {:level :info, :id :auth/login, :data {:user-id 1234}})
-
-;; Mixed style (explicit id and data, with message string)
-(tel/log! {:level :info, :id :auth/login, :data {:user-id 1234}, :msg "User logged in!"})
-
-;; Trace (can interop with OpenTelemetry)
-;; Tracks form runtime, return value, and (nested) parent tree
-(tel/trace! {:id ::my-id :data {...}}
-  (do-some-work))
-
-;; Check resulting signal content for debug/tests
-(tel/with-signal (tel/log! {...})) ; => {:keys [ns level id data msg_ ...]}
-
-;; Getting fancy (all costs are conditional!)
-(tel/log!
-  {:level    :debug

 ### Creating signals

-80% of Telemere's functionality is available through one macro: [`signal!`](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#signal!) and a rich set of [opts](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#help:signal-options).
-
-Use that directly, or any of the wrapper macros that you find most convenient. They're **semantically equivalent** but have ergonomics slightly tweaked for different common use cases:

+See [here](../../wiki/4-Handlers) for more/upcoming handlers, community handlers, info on **writing your own handlers**, etc.

- Nanoseconds per signal call ~ **milliseconds per 1e6 calls**
- Times exclude [handler runtime](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#get-handlers-stats) (which depends on handler/s, is usually async)

+## Documentation
+
+- [Wiki][GitHub wiki] (getting started, usage, etc.)
+- API reference via [cljdoc][cljdoc docs] or [Codox][Codox docs]
+- Extensive [internal help](#internal-help) (no need to leave your IDE)
+- Support via [#Telemere Slack channel][] or [GitHub issues][]
+- [General observability tips](../../wiki/7-Tips) (advice on building and maintaining observable Clojure/Script systems, and getting the most out of Telemere)
+
+## Community
+
+My plan for Telemere is to offer a **stable core of limited scope**, then to focus on making it as easy for the **community** to write additional stuff like handlers, middleware, and utils.
+
+See [here](../../wiki/8-Community) for community resources.
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+Telemere is **highly optimized** and offers great performance at any scale:

 ### Performance philosophy

-Telemere is optimized for *real-world* performance. This means **prioritizing flexibility** and realistic usage over synthetic micro-benchmarks.
+Telemere is optimized for *real-world* performance. This means **prioritizing flexibility** and realistic usage over synthetic micro benchmarks.

 Large applications can produce absolute *heaps* of data, not all equally valuable. Quickly processing infinite streams of unmanageable junk is an anti-pattern. As scale and complexity increase, it becomes more important to **strategically plan** what data to collect, when, in what quantities, and how to manage it.

-Telemere is designed to help with all that. It offers [rich data](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#help:signal-content) and unmatched [filtering](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#help:filters) support - including per-signal and per-handler **sampling** and **rate limiting**, and zero cost compile-time filtering.

 Use these to ensure that you're not capturing useless/low-value/high-noise information in production! With appropriate planning, Telemere is designed to scale to systems of any size and complexity.

-You can also easily [write your own handlers](../../wiki/4-Handlers#writing-handlers).
-
-## Community
-
-My plan for Telemere is to offer a **stable core of limited scope**, then to focus on making it as easy for the **community** to write additional stuff like handlers, transforms, and utils.
-
-See [here](../../wiki/8-Community) for community resources.
-
-## Documentation
-
- [Wiki][GitHub wiki] (getting started, usage, etc.)
- API reference via [cljdoc][cljdoc]
- Extensive [internal help](#internal-help) (no need to leave your IDE)
- Support via [Slack][] or [GitHub issues][]
- [General observability tips](../../wiki/7-Tips) (advice on building and maintaining observable Clojure/Script systems, and getting the most out of Telemere)
-

-Telemere supports extensive environmental config via JVM properties,
-environment variables, or classpath resources.
-
-Environmental filter config includes:
-
-  1. Minimum level (see signal `:level`):
-    a.       JVM property: `taoensso.telemere.rt-min-level`
-    b.       Env variable: `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_MIN_LEVEL`
-    c. Classpath resource: `taoensso.telemere.rt-min-level`
-
-  2. Namespace filter (see signal `:ns`):
-    a.       JVM property: `taoensso.telemere.rt-ns-filter`
-    b.       Env variable: `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_NS_FILTER`
-    c. Classpath resource: `taoensso.telemere.rt-ns-filter`
-
-  3. Id filter (see signal `:id`):
-    a.       JVM property: `taoensso.telemere.rt-id-filter`
-    b.       Env variable: `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_ID_FILTER`
-    c. Classpath resource: `taoensso.telemere.rt-id-filter`
-
-  4. Kind filter (signal `:kind`):
-    a.       JVM property: `taoensso.telemere.rt-kind-filter`
-    b.       Env variable: `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_KIND_FILTER`
-    c. Classpath resource: `taoensso.telemere.rt-kind-filter`
-
-Config values are parsed as edn, examples:
-
-  `taoensso.telemere.rt-min-level`       => ":info"
-  `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_NS_FILTER`       => "{:disallow \"taoensso.*\"}"
-  `taoensso.telemere.rt-id-filter.cljs`  => "#{:my-id1 :my-id2}"
-  `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_KIND_FILTER_CLJ` => "nil"
-
-Runtime vs compile-time filters
-
-  The above filters (1..4) all apply at RUNTIME ("rt").
-  This is typically what you want, since it allows you to freely adjust filtering
-  (making it less OR MORE permissive) through later API calls like `set-min-level!`.
-
-  As an advanced option, you can instead/additionally ELIDE (entirely omit) filtered
-  callsites at COMPILE-TIME ("ct") by replacing "rt"->"ct" / "RT"->"CT" in the config
-  ids above. Compile-time filters CANNOT be made MORE permissive at runtime.
-
-Tips:
-
-  - The above config ids will affect both Clj AND Cljs.
-    For platform-specific filters, use
-      ".clj"  / "_CLJ"  or
-      ".cljs" / "_CLJS" suffixes instead.
-      e.g. "taoensso.telemere.rt-min-level.cljs".
-
-  - To get the right edn syntax, first set your runtime filters using the
-    standard utils (`set-min-level!`, etc.). Then call `get-filters` and
-    serialize the relevant parts to edn with `pr-str`.
-
-  - All environmental config uses `get-env` underneath.
-    See the `get-env` docstring for more/advanced details.
-
-  - Classpath resources are files accessible on your project's
-    classpath. This usually includes files in your project's
-    `resources/` dir.

-Signal options are provided as a map with COMPILE-TIME keys.
-All options are available for all signal creator calls:
-
-`:inst` -------- Platform instant [1] when signal was created, ∈ #{nil :auto <[1]>}
-`:level` ------- Signal level ∈ #{<int> :trace :debug :info :warn :error :fatal :report ...}
-`:kind` -------- Signal ?kind ∈ #{nil :event :error :log :trace :spy <app-val> ...}
-`:id` ---------- ?id of signal          (common to all  signals created at callsite, contrast with `:uid`)
-`:uid` --------- ?id of signal instance (unique to each signal  created at callsite, contrast with  `:id`)
-                 Defaults to `:auto` for tracing signals, and nil otherwise
-
-`:msg` --------- Arb app-level ?message to incl. in signal: str or vec of strs to join (with `\space`), may be a delay
-`:data` -------- Arb app-level ?data    to incl. in signal: usu. a map, LAZY! [3]
-`:error` ------- Arb app-level ?error   to incl. in signal: platform error [2]
-
-`:run` --------- ?form     to execute UNCONDITIONALLY; will incl. `:run-val` in signal
-`:do` ---------- ?form     to execute   conditionally (iff signal allowed) and LAZILY [3], before establishing `:let` ?binding
-`:let` --------- ?bindings to establish conditionally (iff signal allowed) and LAZILY [3], BEFORE evaluating `:data` and `:msg` (useful!)
-
-`:parent` ------ Custom ?{:keys [id uid]} to override auto (dynamic) parent signal tracing info
-`:root` -------- Custom ?{:keys [id uid]} to override auto (dynamic) root   signal tracing info
-`:ctx` --------- Custom ?val to override auto (dynamic `*ctx*`) in signal, as per `with-ctx`
-`:ctx+` -------- Custom ?val to update   auto (dynamic `*ctx*`) in signal, as per `with-ctx+`
-
-`:ns` ---------- Custom ?str namespace to override auto signal callsite info
-`:coords` ------ Custom ?[line column] to override auto signal callsite info
-
-`:elidable?` --- Should signal be subject to compile-time elision? (default true)
-`:allow?` ------ Custom override for usual runtime filtering (true => ALWAYS create signal)
-`:trace?` ------ Should tracing be enabled for `:run` form?
-
-`:sample` ------ Sample ?rate ∈ℝ[0,1] for random signal sampling (0.75 => allow 75% of signals, nil => allow all)
-`:when` -------- Arb ?form; when present, form must return truthy to allow signal
-`:limit` ------- Rate limit ?spec given to `taoensso.telemere/rate-limiter`, see its docstring for details
-`:limit-by` ---- When present, rate limits will be enforced independently for each value (any Clojure value!)
-`:xfn` --------- Optional       transform (fn [signal]) => ?modified-signal to apply when signal is created, as per `with-xfn`
-`:xfn+` -------- Optional extra transform (fn [signal]) => ?modified-signal to apply when signal is created, as per `with-xfn+`
-
-<kvs> ---------- Other arb app-level ?kvs to incl. in signal. Typically NOT included in
-                 handler output, so a great way to provide custom data/opts for use
-                 (only) by custom transforms/handlers. LAZY! [3]
-
-If anything is unclear, please ping me (@ptaoussanis) so that I can improve these docs!
-
-[1] `java.time.Instant`   or `js/Date`
-[2] `java.lang.Throwable` or `js/Error`
-[3] Most Telemere signal content is evaluated CONDITIONALLY (iff signal allowed),
-    LAZILY (when signal is created), and on the HANDLING THREAD (not logging thread).
-    This allows efficient filtering, better control+monitoring of back pressure,
-    conditional effects, etc. Ref. <https://www.taoensso.com/telemere/flow> for visual!

-"Spy" signal creator, emphasizing (optional level) + form to run.
-
-Default kind:  `:spy`
-Default level: `:info`
-Returns: ALWAYS (unconditionally) returns run value, or rethrows run error.
-
-When filtering conditions are met [4], creates a Telemere signal [3] and
-dispatches it to registered handlers for processing (e.g. writing to
-console/file/queue/db, etc.).
-
-Enables tracing of given `run` form:
-
-  - Resulting signal  will include {:keys [run-form run-val run-nsecs]}.
-  - Nested    signals will include this signal's id and uid under `:parent`.
-
-Limitations:
-
-  1. Traced `run` form is usually expected to be synchronous and eager.
-     So no lazy seqs, async calls, or inversion of flow control (IoC) macros like
-     core.async `go` blocks, etc.
-
-  2. Tracing call (`spy!`) is usually expected to occur *within* normally flowing code.
-     IoC macros can arbitrarily (and often opaquely) alter program flow and tracing
-     across flow boundaries can be fragile or even fundamentally illogical.
-
-     So use within IoC macro bodies might not make conceptual sense, or could produce
-     errors or unreliable/confusing results.
-
-     Basically- if possible, prefer tracing normal Clojure fns running within normal
-     Clojure fns unless you deeply understand what your IoC macros are up to.
-
-Examples:
-
-  (spy! (+ 1 2))        ; %> {:kind :trace, :level :info, :run-form '(+ 1 2),
-                        ;     :run-val 3, :run-nsecs <int>, :parent {:keys [id uid]}
-                        ;     :msg "(+ 1 2) => 3" ...}
-  (spy! :debug (+ 1 2)) ; %> {... :level :debug ...}
-  (spy!
-    {:let  [x "x"] ; Available to `:data` and `:msg`
-     :data {:x x}
-     :msg  ["My message:" x]}
-
-    (+ 1 2)) ; %> {... :data {x "x"}, :msg_ "My msg: x" ...}
-
-Tips:
-
-  - Test using `with-signal`: (with-signal (spy! ...)).
-  - Supports the same options [2] as other signals [1].
-
-  - Like `trace!`, but takes optional level rather than optional id.
-
-  - Useful for debugging/monitoring forms, and tracing (nested) execution flow.
-  - Execution of `run` form may create additional (nested) signals.
-    Each signal's `:parent` key will indicate its immediate parent.
-
-  - It's often useful to wrap `run` form with `catch->error!`:
-      (trace! ::trace-id (catch->error! ::error-id ...)).
-
-    This way you have independent filtering for `run` forms that throw,
-    allowing you to use a higher min level and/or reduced sampling, etc.
-
-    In this case you'll create:
-      0 or 1 `:trace` signals (depending on filtering), AND
-      0 or 1 `:error` signals (depending on filtering).
-
-    Note that the `:error` signal will contain tracing info (e.g. `:parent` key)
-    iff the enclosing `trace!` is allowed.
-
-  - Runtime of async or lazy code in `run` form will intentionally NOT be
-    included in resulting signal's `:run-nsecs` value. If you want to measure
-    such runtimes, make sure that your form wraps where the relevant costs are
-    actually realized. Compare:
-      (spy!  (delay (my-slow-code))) ; Doesn't measure slow code
-      (spy! @(delay (my-slow-code))) ; Does    measure slow code
-
-  - See also Tufte (https://www.taoensso.com/tufte) for a complementary/partner
-    Clj/s library that offers more advanced performance measurment and shares
-    the same signal engine (filtering and handler API) as Telemere.

+Telemere supports extensive environmental config via JVM properties,
+environment variables, or classpath resources.
+
+Environmental filter config includes:
+
+  Kind filter:
+          JVM property: `taoensso.telemere.rt-kind-filter.edn`
+          Env variable: `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_KIND_FILTER_EDN`
+    Classpath resource: `taoensso.telemere.rt-kind-filter.edn`
+
+  Namespace filter:
+          JVM property: `taoensso.telemere.rt-ns-filter.edn`
+          Env variable: `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_NS_FILTER_EDN`
+    Classpath resource: `taoensso.telemere.rt-ns-filter.edn`
+
+  Id filter:
+          JVM property: `taoensso.telemere.rt-id-filter.edn`
+          Env variable: `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_ID_FILTER_EDN`
+    Classpath resource: `taoensso.telemere.rt-id-filter.edn`
+
+  Minimum level:
+          JVM property: `taoensso.telemere.rt-min-level.edn`
+          Env variable: `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_MIN_LEVEL_EDN`
+    Classpath resource: `taoensso.telemere.rt-min-level.edn`
+
+Examples:
+
+  `taoensso.telemere.rt-min-level.edn`       -> ":info"
+  `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_NS_FILTER_EDN`       -> "{:disallow \"taoensso.*\"}"
+  `taoensso.telemere.rt-id-filter.cljs.edn`  -> "#{:my-id1 :my-id2}"
+  `TAOENSSO_TELEMERE_RT_KIND_FILTER_CLJ_EDN` -> "nil"
+
+For other (non-filter) environmental config, see the relevant docstrings.
+
+Tips:
+
+  - The above ids are for runtime filters (the most common).
+    For compile-time filters, change `rt`->`ct` / `RT`->`CT`.
+
+  - The above ids will affect both Clj AND Cljs.
+    For platform-specific filters, use
+      ".clj.edn"  / "_CLJ_EDN"  or
+      ".cljs.edn" / "_CLJS_EDN" suffixes instead.
+
+  - ".edn" / "_EDN" suffixes are optional.
+
+  - Config values should be edn. To get the right syntax, first set
+    your runtime filters using the standard utils (`set-min-level!`,
+    etc.). Then call `get-filters` and serialize the relevant parts
+    to edn with `pr-str`.
+
+  - All environmental config uses `get-env` underneath.
+    See the `get-env` docstring for more/advanced details.
+
+  - Classpath resources are files accessible on your project's
+    classpath. This usually includes files in your project's
+    `resources/` dir.

+"Spy" signal creator, emphasizing form + level.
+
+API: [form] [level-or-opts form] => form's result (value/throw) (unconditional)
+Default kind:  `:spy`
+Default level: `:info`
+
+When filtering conditions are met [4], creates a Telemere signal [3] and
+dispatches it to registered handlers for processing (e.g. writing to
+console/file/queue/db, etc.).
+
+Examples:
+
+  (spy! (+ 1 2))         ; %> {:kind :trace, :level :info, :run-form '(+ 1 2),
+                         ;     :run-val 3, :run-nsecs <int>, :parent {:keys [id uid]}
+                         ;     :msg "(+ 1 2) => 3" ...}
+  (spy! ::my-id (+ 1 2)) ; %> {... :id ::my-id ...}
+  (spy!
+    {:let  [x "x"] ; Available to `:data` and `:msg`
+     :data {:x x}}
+
+    (+ 1 2)) ; %> {... :data {x "x"}, :msg_ "My msg: x" ...}
+
+Tips:
+
+  - Test using `with-signal`: (with-signal (spy! ...)).
+  - Supports the same options [2] as other signals [1].
+
+  - Identical to `trace!`, but emphasizes form + level rather than form + id.
+
+  - Useful for debugging/monitoring forms, and tracing (nested) execution flow.
+  - Execution of `form` arg may create additional (nested) signals.
+    Each signal's `:parent` key will indicate its immediate parent.
+
+  - Can be useful to wrap with `catch->error!`:
+      (catch->error! ::error-id (spy! ...)).

+  These are basically unique signal instance identifiers.
+
+  `root?` argument is true iff signal is a top-level trace (i.e. form
+  being traced is unnested = has no parent form).
+
+  Root  uids typically have ~128 bits of entropy to ensure uniqueness.
+  Child uids are typically used only with respect to a parent/root,
+  and so can often make do with ~64 bits of entropy or less.
+
+  Smaller uids are generally cheaper to generate, and use less space
+  when serializing/transmitting/storing/etc.
+
+  By default generates nano-style uids like

 #  Usage

 ## Creating signals

-Telemere's signals are all created using the low-level `signal!` macro. You can use that directly, or one of the wrapper macros like `log!`.
+Use whichever signal creator is most convenient for your needs:

-Several different wrapper macros are provided. The only difference between them:
-
-  1. They create signals with a different `:kind` value (which can be handy for filtering, etc.).
-  2. They have different positional arguments and/or return values optimised for concise calling in different use cases.
-
-**NB:** ALL wrapper macros can also just be called with a single [opts](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#help:signal-options) map!

-> 👉 Call and handler filters are **additive** - so handlers can be *more* but not *less* restrictive than call filters allow. This makes sense: call filters decide if a signal can be created. Handler filters decide if a particular handler is allowed to handle a created signal.

 ## OpenTelemetry

-> [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) is a popular open-source observability framework that provides tools for collecting, processing, and exporting telemetry data like traces, metrics, and logs from software systems.
->

+> **OpenTelemetry interop is experimental** - feedback very welcome!

-Telemere can send signals as [`LogRecords`](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/logs/data-model/) with correlated tracing data to configured [OpenTelemetry Java](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java) [exporters](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/java/exporters/).
-
-This allows output to go (via configured exporters) to a wide variety of targets like [Jaeger](https://www.jaegertracing.io/), [Zipkin](https://zipkin.io/), [AWS X-Ray](https://aws.amazon.com/xray/), [AWS CloudWatch](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/), etc.
+Telemere can send signals as correlated [`LogRecords`](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/logs/data-model/) and tracing data to configured JVM [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) exporters.

 To do this:

-1. Ensure that you have the necessary [OpenTelemetry Java](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java) [dependency](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.opentelemetry/opentelemetry-api).
-2. Ensure that the relevant exporters are [appropriately configured](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/java/configuration/) (this is the trickiest part, but not at all specific to Telemere).
-3. Create a Telemere signal handler using [`handler:open-telemetry`](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere.open-telemetry#handler:open-telemetry), and register it using [`add-handler!`](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#add-handler!).
-4. Ensure that [`otel-tracing?`](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#otel-tracing?) is enabled if you want tracing interop.
+1. Ensure that you have the [OpenTelemetry Java](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java) dependency.
+2. Ensure that OpenTelemetry Java and relevant exporters are [appropriately configured](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/java/configuration/).
+3. Use [`handler:open-telemetry-logger`](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere.open-telemetry#handler:open-telemetry-logger) to create an appropriately configured handler, and register it with [`add-handler!`](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#add-handler!).

-Aside from configuring the exporters (2), Telemere's OpenTelemetry interop **does not require** any use of or familiarity with the OpenTelemetry Java API or concepts. Just use Telemere as you normally would, and the handler (3) will automatically emit detailed log and trace data to your configured exporters (2).

 Note that it's common for Telemere handlers to be customized by providing *Clojure/Script functions* to the relevant handler constructor call.

+Telemere includes a handy mechanism for including arbitrary app-level data/opts in individual signals for use by custom middleware and/or handlers.

 Any *non-standard* (app-level) keys you include in your signal constructor opts will automatically be included in created signals, e.g.:

 ```clojure
-(tel/with-signal
-  (tel/log!
-    {...
-     :my-data-for-xfn     "foo"
-     :my-data-for-handler "bar"}))
+(t/with-signal
+  (t/event! ::my-id
+    {:my-middleware-data "foo"
+     :my-handler-data    "bar"}))

 ;; %>
 ;; {;; App-level kvs included inline (assoc'd to signal root)
-;;  :my-data-for-xfn     "foo"
-;;  :my-data-for-handler "bar"
+;;  :my-middleware-data "foo"
+;;  :my-handler-data    "bar"
 ;;  :kvs ; And also collected together under ":kvs" key
-;;  {:my-data-for-xfn     "foo"
-;;   :my-data-for-handler "bar"}
+;;  {:my-middleware-data "foo"
+;;   :my-handler-data    "bar"}
 ;;  ... }
 ```

-These app-level data/opts are typically NOT included by default in handler output, making them a great way to convey data/opts to custom transforms/handlers.

-# Why the unusual arg order for `event!`?
-
-For their 2 arg arities, every standard signal creator _except_ [event!](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#event!) takes an opts map as its _first_ argument.
-
-Why the apparent inconsistency?
-
-It's an intentional trade-off. `event!` is unique in 3x ways:
-
-1. Its primary argument is typically very short (just an id keyword).
-2. Its primary argument never depends on `:let` bindings.
-3. Its opts typically include long or even multi-lined `:data`.
-
-If `event!` shared the same arg order as other signal creators, the common case would be something like `(event! {:data <multi-line>} ::dangling-id)` which gets unnecessarily awkward and doesn’t read well IMO. I want to know what event we’re talking about, before you tell me about the associated data.
-
-In contrast, creators like `log!` both tend to have a large/r primary argument (message) - and their primary argument often depends on `:let` bindings - e.g. `(log! {:id ::my-id, :let […]} <message depending on let bindings>)`. In these cases it reads much clearer to go left->right. We start with an id, specify some data, then use that data to construct a message.
-
-So basically the choice in trade-off was:
-
-1. Prefer **consistency**, or
-2. Prefer **ergonomics** of the common case usage
-
-I went with option 2 for several reasons:
-
- There _is_ actually consistency, it’s just not as obvious - the typically-larger argument always goes _last_.
- Most IDEs generally do a good job of reminding about the arg order.
- The same trade-off may come up again in future for other new signal kinds, and I prefer that we adopt the pattern of optimising for common-case ergonomics.
- One can always easily call `signal!` directly - this takes a single map arg, so lets you easily specify all args in preferred order. (I tend to exclusively use `signal!` myself since I prefer this flexibility).
-
-If there’s popular demand, I’d also be happy to add something like `ev!` which could choose the alternative trade-off. Though I’d recommend folks try `event!` as-is first, since I think the initial aversion/surprise might wear off with use.

-Are you a library author/maintainer that's considering **using Telemere in your library**?
-
-You have **a few options** below-
-
-# Options
-
-## Modern logging facade
-
-[Trove](https://www.taoensso.com/trove) is a minimal, modern alternative to [tools.logging](https://github.com/clojure/tools.logging) that supports all of Telemere's structured logging and rich filtering features.
-
-Basically:
-
-1. You include the (very small) Trove dependency with your library
-2. Your library logs using the [Trove API](https://github.com/taoensso/trove#to-choose-a-backend)
-3. Your users then [choose](https://github.com/taoensso/trove#to-choose-a-backend) their preferred backend (Telemere, etc.)
-
-This would be my first recommendation, and is what I'm planning to use for future updates to [Sente](https://www.taoensso.com/sente), [Carmine](https://www.taoensso.com/carmine), etc.
-
-## Traditional logging facade (basic logging only)
-
-Many libraries need only basic logging. In these cases it can be beneficial to do your logging through a common traditional logging facade like [tools.logging](https://github.com/clojure/tools.logging) or [SLF4J](https://www.slf4j.org/).
-
-Though these'll limit you to basic features (e.g. no structured logging or [rich filtering](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#get-filters)).
-
-## Telemere as a transitive dependency
-
-You could just include [Telemere](https://clojars.org/com.taoensso/telemere) in your **library's dependencies**. Your library (and users) will then have access to the full Telemere API.
-
-Telemere's [default config](./1-Getting-started#default-config) is sensible (with println-like console output), so your users are unlikely to need to configure or interact with Telemere much unless they choose to.
-
-The most common thing users may want to do is **adjust the minimum level** of signals created by your library. You can help make this as easy as possible by adding a util to your library:
-
-```clojure
-(defn set-min-log-level!
-  "Sets Telemere's minimum level for <my-lib> namespaces.
-  This will affect all signals (logs) created by <my-lib>.
-
-  Possible minimum levels (from most->least verbose):
-    #{:trace :debug :info :warn :error :fatal :report}.
-
-  The default minimum level is `:warn`."
-  [min-level]
-  (tel/set-min-level! nil "my-lib-ns(.*)" min-level)
-  true)
-
-(defonce ^:private __set-default-log-level (set-min-log-level! :warn))
-```
-
-This way your users can easily disable, decrease, or increase signal output from your library without even needing to touch Telemere or to be aware of its existence.

+Are you a library maintainer that's considering **using Telemere in your library**?
+
+See below for some considerations and advice-
+
+# Consider a facade
+
+Ask yourself the question: do you specifically *need/want* Telemere?
+
+Many libraries only need very basic logging. In these cases it can be beneficial to do your logging through a facade like [tools.logging](https://github.com/clojure/tools.logging) or [SLF4J](https://www.slf4j.org/).
+
+**Upside**: users can then easily choose and configure their **preferred backend** (including Telemere, which can easily [act as a backend](./3-Config#interop) for both tools.logging and SLF4J).
+
+**Downside**: your logging features will necessarily be limited to the lowest-common-denominator features supported by your chosen facade (tools.logging or SLF4J, etc.). In particular, you'll be giving up support for Telemere's structured logging features and [rich filtering](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#get-filters) (including filtering or setting minimum levels by namespaces).
+
+# Consider API stability
+
+Telemere is still currently in **beta** as of May 2024.
+
+While the [signal creator](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#help:signal-creators) and [signal content](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#help:signal-content) APIs should already be mostly stable, I would still **recommend against** using Telemere in any public libraries until after Telemere's **stable v1 release** (current ETA >= [August 2024](https://taoensso.com/roadmap)).
+
+# Using Telemere in your library
+
+If you **do** need/want support for Telemere's structured logging features and/or [rich filtering](https://cljdoc.org/d/com.taoensso/telemere/CURRENT/api/taoensso.telemere#get-filters), then you've got a couple options-
+
+## Telemere as a non-optional dependency
+
+This is straight-forward: you include Telemere in your library's dependencies, and you can make use of Telemere's full API from your own library.
+
+Telemere's [default config](./1-Getting-started#default-config) is sensible (with println-like console output), so many of library users won't need to configure or interact with Telemere at all.
+
+The most common thing library users may want to do is **adjust the minimum level** of signals created by your library. And since your users might not be familiar with Telemere, I'd recommend including something like the following in a convenient place like your library's main API namespace:
+
+```clojure
+(defn set-min-log-level!
+  "Sets minimum level of Telemere signals (logs) created by <my-library>.
+  Possible levels (from most to least verbose):
+    #{:trace :debug :info :warn :error :fatal :report}.
+
+  The default level is `:warn`."
+  [level]
+  (tel/set-min-level! nil "my-library.namespace"   min-level)
+  (tel/set-min-level! nil "my-library.namespace.*" min-level)
+  nil)
+
+(defonce ^:private __set-default-log-level (set-min-log-level! :warn))
+```
+
+This way your users can easily disable, decrease, or increase signal output from your library without even needing to touch Telemere or to be aware of its existence.
+
+## Telemere as an optional dependency
+
+I have a solution planned for this that I'm still testing. Will add more info prior to Telemere's [stable v1 release](https://www.taoensso.com/roadmap).
+
+# Migrating from Timbre
+
+Do you have a library that currently uses [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre), and you're considering a change to Telemere?
+
+## With a facade
+
+First, I'd encourage you to [consider a facade](#consider-a-fascade).
+
+Unless you specifically want features *only* available to Telemere/Timbre, using a facade would give your users the option to choose **whichever backend they prefer**.
+
+Since both Telemere and Timbre support [tools.logging](https://github.com/clojure/tools.logging) and [SLF4J](https://www.slf4j.org/), either one of those would be a reasonable choice.
+
+(Though note that Timbre's current SLF4J support is a little fragile. Timbre v7 [will introduce](https://github.com/taoensso/roadmap/issues/11) improved native SLF4J support, so you may want to wait for that if you are considering SLF4J).
+
+Example migration steps:
+
+1. Migrate your library's Timbre logging calls to equivalent [`tools.logging`](https://github.com/clojure/tools.logging) calls.
+2. Remove your library's Timbre dependency.
+3. Advise your users about the dropped dependency, and tell them that they'll now need to opt-in to [use Telemere](https://github.com/taoensso/telemere/wiki/3-Config#toolslogging), [use Timbre](https://taoensso.github.io/timbre/taoensso.timbre.tools.logging.html#var-use-timbre), or use some other logging backend for tools.logging that they prefer.
+
+## Without a facade
+
+In this case you'll need to decide if you want to use Telemere as an [optional](#telemere-as-an-optional-dependency) or [non-optional](#telemere-as-a-non-optional-dependency) dependency.
+
+Will add more info prior to Telemere's [stable v1 release](https://www.taoensso.com/roadmap).
