+title: OTel Support
+weight: 2
+---
+
+The `prometheus-metrics-otel-support` module bundles the
+OpenTelemetry SDK and the Prometheus exporter into a single
+POM dependency.
+
+Use this module when you want to combine OpenTelemetry
+instrumentations (e.g. JVM runtime metrics) with the
+Prometheus Java client on one `/metrics` endpoint.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+{{< tabs "otel-support-deps" >}}
+{{< tab "Gradle" >}}

+    <version>$version</version>
+    <type>pom</type>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{< /tabs >}}
+
+This single dependency replaces:
+
+- `io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-sdk`
+- `io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-prometheus`
+
+## Use Cases
+
+See [JVM Runtime Metrics]({{< relref "jvm-runtime-metrics.md" >}})
+for a concrete example of combining OTel JVM metrics with
+the Prometheus Java client.
