The gems with api
in the name should be installed automatically where needed.
The opentelemetry-instrumentation-*
gems referenced in this example have not been released.
The example Gemfile has been updated to reflect what's needed.
This is a minimal Rails 7.0 / Ruby 3.2 application demonstrating how to use an experimental implementation of OpenTelemetry logs for Ruby.

:TestController#index
demonstrates how to emit your own logs and how indpendent Ruby Loggers work with auto-instrumentation
