…NTATION_ENABLED=true The openai-v2 examples predate (2024) the Jan 2025 decouple (f3b9e6e in core) of the log machinery setup from the LoggingHandler setup. So unless I'm missing something and you really want to see OpenTelemetry logs shipped from Python logging module usage in these genai examples I think we can drop these. We're moving the logging handler from the sdk to the opentelemetry-instrumentation-logging and deprecating that environment variable.

Makes sense to me from logging stabilization standup. Would be good to get thoughts from a regular genai contributor/approver.

We may want to update all examples later to include the installation of the opentelemetry-instrumentation-logging package, i believe we are just installing opentelemetry-distro

Description
The openai-v2 examples (that the other instrumentation followed) predate (2024) the Jan 2025 decouple of the log machinery setup from the LoggingHandler setup (f3b9e6e in core). So unless I'm missing something and you really want to see OpenTelemetry logs shipped from Python logging module usage in these genai examples, I think we can drop these.
We're moving the logging handler from the sdk to the opentelemetry-instrumentation-logging and deprecating that environment variable.
