What this skill does for you

Onboard an application into Elastic Observability with the Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry (EDOT): route on language and runtime, detect and replace a classic Elastic APM agent, apply the required OTLP configuration, and then verify with ES|QL that traces, metrics, and logs actually arrive under the expected service name. Use when adding observability to a service, migrating off the classic Elastic APM agent, or debugging why an instrumented service is not showing up in Elastic.
