+## OpenTelemetry integration
+
+Built on **[OpenTelemetry]** — the vendor-neutral, industry-standard
+observability framework — Gemini CLI's observability system provides:
+
+- **Universal compatibility**: Export to any OpenTelemetry backend (Google
+  Cloud, Jaeger, Prometheus, Datadog, etc.)
+- **Standardized data**: Use consistent formats and collection methods across
+  your toolchain
+- **Future-proof integration**: Connect with existing and future observability
+  infrastructure
+- **No vendor lock-in**: Switch between backends without changing your
+  instrumentation

+
+## Configuration
+
+All telemetry behavior is controlled through your `.gemini/settings.json` file.
+Environment variables can be used to override the settings in the file.
+
+| Setting        | Environment Variable             | Description                                         | Values            | Default                 |
+| -------------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------- |
+| `enabled`      | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_ENABLED`       | Enable or disable telemetry                         | `true`/`false`    | `false`                 |
+| `target`       | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_TARGET`        | Where to send telemetry data                        | `"gcp"`/`"local"` | `"local"`               |
+| `otlpEndpoint` | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_OTLP_ENDPOINT` | OTLP collector endpoint                             | URL string        | `http://localhost:4317` |
+| `otlpProtocol` | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_OTLP_PROTOCOL` | OTLP transport protocol                             | `"grpc"`/`"http"` | `"grpc"`                |
+| `outfile`      | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_OUTFILE`       | Save telemetry to file (overrides `otlpEndpoint`)   | file path         | -                       |
+| `logPrompts`   | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_LOG_PROMPTS`   | Include prompts in telemetry logs                   | `true`/`false`    | `true`                  |
+| `useCollector` | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_USE_COLLECTOR` | Use external OTLP collector (advanced)              | `true`/`false`    | `false`                 |
+| `useCliAuth`   | `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_USE_CLI_AUTH`  | Use CLI credentials for telemetry (GCP target only) | `true`/`false`    | `false`                 |
+
+**Note on boolean environment variables:** For the boolean settings (`enabled`,
+`logPrompts`, `useCollector`), setting the corresponding environment variable to
+`true` or `1` will enable the feature. Any other value will disable it.
+
+For detailed information about all configuration options, see the
+[Configuration guide](../get-started/configuration.md).
+
+## Google Cloud telemetry
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before using either method below, complete these steps:
+
+1. Set your Google Cloud project ID:
+   - For telemetry in a separate project from inference:
+     ```bash
+     export OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-telemetry-project-id"
+     ```
+   - For telemetry in the same project as inference:
+     ```bash
+     export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
+     ```
+
+2. Authenticate with Google Cloud:
+   - If using a user account:
+     ```bash
+     gcloud auth application-default login
+     ```
+   - If using a service account:
+     ```bash
+     export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/your/service-account.json"
+     ```
+3. Make sure your account or service account has these IAM roles:
+   - Cloud Trace Agent
+   - Monitoring Metric Writer
+   - Logs Writer
+
+4. Enable the required Google Cloud APIs (if not already enabled):
+   ```bash
+   gcloud services enable \
+     cloudtrace.googleapis.com \
+     monitoring.googleapis.com \
+     logging.googleapis.com \
+     --project="$OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT"
+   ```
+
+### Authenticating with CLI Credentials
+
+By default, the telemetry collector for Google Cloud uses Application Default
+Credentials (ADC). However, you can configure it to use the same OAuth
+credentials that you use to log in to the Gemini CLI. This is useful in
+environments where you don't have ADC set up.
+
+To enable this, set the `useCliAuth` property in your `telemetry` settings to
+`true`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "telemetry": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "target": "gcp",
+    "useCliAuth": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Important:**
+
+- This setting requires the use of **Direct Export** (in-process exporters).
+- It **cannot** be used with `useCollector: true`. If you enable both, telemetry
+  will be disabled and an error will be logged.
+- The CLI will automatically use your credentials to authenticate with Google
+  Cloud Trace, Metrics, and Logging APIs.
+
+### Direct export (recommended)
+
+Sends telemetry directly to Google Cloud services. No collector needed.
+
+1. Enable telemetry in your `.gemini/settings.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "telemetry": {
+       "enabled": true,
+       "target": "gcp"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+2. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+3. View logs and metrics:
+   - Open the Google Cloud Console in your browser after sending prompts:
+     - Logs: https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/
+     - Metrics: https://console.cloud.google.com/monitoring/metrics-explorer
+     - Traces: https://console.cloud.google.com/traces/list
+
+### Collector-based export (advanced)
+
+For custom processing, filtering, or routing, use an OpenTelemetry collector to
+forward data to Google Cloud.
+
+1. Configure your `.gemini/settings.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "telemetry": {
+       "enabled": true,
+       "target": "gcp",
+       "useCollector": true
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+2. Run the automation script:
+   ```bash
+   npm run telemetry -- --target=gcp
+   ```
+   This will:
+   - Start a local OTEL collector that forwards to Google Cloud
+   - Configure your workspace
+   - Provide links to view traces, metrics, and logs in Google Cloud Console
+   - Save collector logs to `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector-gcp.log`
+   - Stop collector on exit (e.g. `Ctrl+C`)
+3. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+4. View logs and metrics:
+   - Open the Google Cloud Console in your browser after sending prompts:
+     - Logs: https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/
+     - Metrics: https://console.cloud.google.com/monitoring/metrics-explorer
+     - Traces: https://console.cloud.google.com/traces/list
+   - Open `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector-gcp.log` to view local
+     collector logs.
+
+## Local telemetry
+
+For local development and debugging, you can capture telemetry data locally:
+
+### File-based output (recommended)
+
+1. Enable telemetry in your `.gemini/settings.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "telemetry": {
+       "enabled": true,
+       "target": "local",
+       "otlpEndpoint": "",
+       "outfile": ".gemini/telemetry.log"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+2. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+3. View logs and metrics in the specified file (e.g., `.gemini/telemetry.log`).
+
+### Collector-based export (advanced)
+
+1. Run the automation script:
+   ```bash
+   npm run telemetry -- --target=local
+   ```
+   This will:
+   - Download and start Jaeger and OTEL collector
+   - Configure your workspace for local telemetry
+   - Provide a Jaeger UI at http://localhost:16686
+   - Save logs/metrics to `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector.log`
+   - Stop collector on exit (e.g. `Ctrl+C`)
+2. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+3. View traces at http://localhost:16686 and logs/metrics in the collector log
+   file.
+
