-The above example will emit auto-instrumented telemetry about your Node.js application to the console. For a more in-depth example, see the [Getting Started Guide](getting-started/README.md). For more information about automatic instrumentation see [@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node][otel-node], which provides auto-instrumentation for Node.js applications. If the automatic instrumentation does not suit your needs, or you would like to create manual traces, see [@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base][otel-tracing]
