What it is
Managed settings resolution is now reported to telemetry, with sensitive values redacted
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.274.
Presence across releases
1Build by build
5One row per release since the first build this name was read out of. Absent means the build was read and the name was not in it, never mined means no bundle for that release was ever archived, and a declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.
First cited
1The earliest release whose published evidence quoted OTEL_LOG_MANAGED_SETTINGS was v2.1.274, 16 Sep 2026. That is the oldest release this project wrote about it, so it is a floor on the name's age and not the release that introduced it. It is not a presence reading: which builds carried the name is the table above.
