[dependabot]

Bumps go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk from 1.39.0 to 1.40.0.

Changelog

Sourced from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk's changelog.

[1.40.0/0.62.0/0.16.0] 2026-02-02

Added

• Add AlwaysRecord sampler in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace. (#7724)
• Add Enabled method to all synchronous instrument interfaces (Float64Counter, Float64UpDownCounter, Float64Histogram, Float64Gauge, Int64Counter, Int64UpDownCounter, Int64Histogram, Int64Gauge,) in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric. This stabilizes the synchronous instrument enabled feature, allowing users to check if an instrument will process measurements before performing computationally expensive operations. (#7763)
• Add go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.39.0 package. The package contains semantic conventions from the v1.39.0 version of the OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions. See the migration documentation for information on how to upgrade from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.38.0. (#7783, #7789)

Changed

• Improve the concurrent performance of HistogramReservoir in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/exemplar by 4x. (#7443)
• Improve the concurrent performance of FixedSizeReservoir in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric/exemplar. (#7447)
• Improve performance of concurrent histogram measurements in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric. (#7474)
• Improve performance of concurrent synchronous gauge measurements in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric. (#7478)
• Add experimental observability metrics in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/stdout/stdoutmetric. (#7492)
• Exporter in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus ignores metrics with the scope go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/bridges/prometheus. This prevents scrape failures when the Prometheus exporter is misconfigured to get data from the Prometheus bridge. (#7688)
• Improve performance of concurrent exponential histogram measurements in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric. (#7702)
• The rpc.grpc.status_code attribute in the experimental metrics emitted from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc is replaced with the rpc.response.status_code attribute to align with the semantic conventions. (#7854)
• The rpc.grpc.status_code attribute in the experimental metrics emitted from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlplog/otlploggrpc is replaced with the rpc.response.status_code attribute to align with the semantic conventions. (#7854)

Fixed

• Fix bad log message when key-value pairs are dropped because of key duplication in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/log. (#7662)
• Fix DroppedAttributes on Record in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/log to not count the non-attribute key-value pairs dropped because of key duplication. (#7662)
• Fix SetAttributes on Record in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/log to not log that attributes are dropped when they are actually not dropped. (#7662)
• Fix missing request.GetBody in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp to correctly handle HTTP/2 GOAWAY frame. (#7794)
• WithHostID detector in go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource to use full path for ioreg command on Darwin (macOS). (#7818)

Deprecated

• Deprecate go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/zipkin. For more information, see the OTel blog post deprecating the Zipkin exporter. (#7670)

This change updates the OpenTelemetry (OTel) Go SDK and related packages from version 1.39.0 to 1.40.0, representing a routine dependency upgrade to incorporate the latest features, bug fixes, and improvements from the OpenTelemetry project. The update affects core telemetry components including metrics, tracing, and SDK functionality.

Walkthrough

• Chore: Updated OpenTelemetry Go SDK from v1.39.0 to v1.40.0 across core packages (otel, metric, sdk, trace, sdk/metric)
• Chore: Refreshed corresponding checksums in go.sum file to match the new package versions

This dependency update ensures the application benefits from the latest OpenTelemetry improvements while maintaining existing observability capabilities.
