Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
As part of Logging API/SDK becoming stable, it would help to update the documentation around end use and expectations. Concerns in Sept 2025 with current state were:
- only the root logger is instrumented, so seen loggers must have propagate set to True
- the root logger is instrumented, so handlers on it must not be cleared and if you are loading logging settings with logging/.config.dictConfig, you must save the root loggers before applying dictConfig, then re-apply missing handlers
Describe the solution you'd like
Update the Logging API/SDK documentation, for example at the readthedocs and at otel.io auto-instrumentation example:
- https://opentelemetry-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/logs/README.html
- https://opentelemetry.io/docs/zero-code/python/logs-example/
