ClickHouse avoids a dependency on a particular monitoring system, instead only providing the tracing data through a system table. `OpenTelemetry` trace span information [required by the standard](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/master/specification/overview.md#span) is stored in the [system.opentelemetry_span_log](../operations/system-tables/opentelemetry_span_log.md) table.
