Observability Edot Java Instrument

This is Elastic's official skill for adding OpenTelemetry Java agent instrumentation to your applications. It hooks into Java apps to collect observability data without requiring you to manually instrument your code. You'd reach for this when you need distributed tracing and metrics in a Java service and want the auto-instrumentation route rather than manually adding telemetry calls everywhere. The skill references setup guides for EDOT Java configuration, so it's clearly meant to streamline what would otherwise be a multi-step process of downloading agents and configuring collectors. With over 800 installs and passing security audits, it's a solid choice if you're already in the Elastic ecosystem.
