Opentelemetry

With the widespread adoption of OpenTelemetry as standard in the Observability ecosystem, the more I see the OpenTelemetry Collector deployed at customers. A nice subproject here is the OpenTelemetry Collector Builder (OCB) which allows to easily create your custom distribution of the Collector. Some notable distributions here are: AWS RedHat SumoLogic others can be found here These custom distributions can be used to the minimum size for your specific use case or a custom module written by your own. For example, to implement a complex filter logic or support an internal API. ...

This talk is an update of OpenTelemetry: from Frontend to Backend presented at Grafana and Friends: Munich Repository: https://github.com/secustor/opentelemetry-meetup

In this talk, which builds up on my previous talk and example of OpenTelemetry: from Frontend to Backend I give an overview of what OpenTelemetry (OTeL) is and how it can be leveraged to debug frontend performance. This is achieved by leveraging only OpenSource components such as OpenTelemetry and Unleash. The example consists of multiple microservices which are deployed in a Kubernetes cluster. Repository: https://github.com/secustor/opentelemetry-meetup Components Unleash Unleash is an open source feature flag service. In the example it is used to dynamically control which users are traced with which level. ...

In this talk, I give an overview of what OpenTelemetry (OTeL) is and what it can help you to achieve. The example consists of multiple microservices which are deployed in a Kubernetes cluster fully traced with OTeL. The traced components are: React frontend Kubernetes Ingress Controller API backend Kafka Asynchronous processing microservice Repository: https://github.com/secustor/opentelemetry-meetup Components Snapshot Snapshot is a React photo gallery to showcase capabilities. In this example, OpenTelemetry tracing capabilities have been added to allow an easy way to demonstrate the capture of user input and API call tracing. ...
