Go does not support truly automatic instrumentation like other languages today. Instead, you'll need to depend on [instrumentation libraries](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/glossary/#instrumentation-library) that generate telemetry data for a particular instrumented library. For example, the instrumentation library for `net/hhtp` will automatically create spans that track inbound and outbound requests once you configure it in your code.

## Next steps

Instrumentation libraries can do things like generate telemtry data for inbound and outbound HTTP requests, but they don't instrument your actual application.

To get richer telemetry data, use [manual instrumentatiion]({{< relref "manual" >}}) to enrich your telemetry data from instrumentation libraries with instrumentation from your running application.
