Description
Describe your environment
OS: macOS Sequoia 15.5
Python version: 3.13.5
SDK version: 1.34.1/0.55b1
API version: 1.34.1/0.55b1
env vars:
OTEL_LOG_LEVEL=debug
OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_LEVEL=debug
What happened?
When following the logs example instructions and then running the example I do not see the debug or info logs exporter, only the warning and error logs. If I switch the exporter to the console exporter I get the same results.
Steps to Reproduce
Set export OTEL_LOG_LEVEL=debug and export OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_LEVEL=debug.
Then follow the logs example instructions
Expected Result
Info and debug logs exported
Actual Result
Only warning and error logs exported
Additional context
I am seeing this issue in other examples locally, as is an associate from a different company on their machine.
Would you like to implement a fix?
None
