38   // The return value helps determine whether observability was
39   // successfully enabled or not. On success, an object of class `Observability`
40   // is returned. When this object goes out of scope, GCP Observability stats,
41   // tracing and logging data is flushed. On failure, the status message can be
42   // used to determine the cause of failure. It is up to the applications to
43   // either crash on failure, or continue without GCP observability being
44   // enabled. The status codes do not have any special meaning at present, and
45   // users should not make any assumptions based on the status code, other than
46   // a non-OK status code meaning that observability initialization failed.

48   // The expected usage is to call this at the top (or near the top) in
49   // main(), and let it go out of scope after all RPCs and activities that we
50   // want to observe are done. Please look at

56   // It is possible for an initialized GcpObservability object to go out of

59   // point.
60   //
61   // Note that this is a blocking call which properly sets up gRPC Observability
62   // to work with GCP and might take a few seconds to return.  Similarly, the
63   // destruction of a non-moved-from `Observability` object is also blocking
64   // since it flushes the observability data to GCP.
65   //
66   // As an implementation detail, this properly initializes the OpenCensus stats
67   // and tracing plugin, so applications do not need to perform any additional
68   // gRPC C++ OpenCensus setup/registration to get GCP Observability for gRPC.
