+:description: Ship OPA traces and logs to OpenTelemetry
+:opa-docs: https://v1-4-2--opa-docs.netlify.app/configuration/#distributed-tracing
+
+Opa supports sending OpenTelemetry traces as stated in {opa-docs}[the documentation].
+
+As of SDP 25.7, `configOverrides` are (still) not supported, we are tracking the progress in https://github.com/stackabletech/opa-operator/issues/756[this GitHub issue].
+To enable traces you need to modify the config and thus xref:opa:usage-guide/operations/cluster-operations.adoc[pause the reconciliation] of your OpaCluster, so that changes to the ConfigMap aren't immediately overridden by the opa-operator.
+
+WARNING: It's not encouraged to pause the reconciliation more than just temporarily. We recommend disabling it while you debug e.g. performance problems and re-enabling it afterwards. This problem will be solved once we support configOverrides for OPA.
+
+Afterwards you can edit the `<stacklet-name>-server-default` ConfigMap and append a `distributed_tracing` section as follows.
+Please check the {opa-docs}[OPA documentation] to see what other settings you can configure.
