We’re excited to announce that we’ve recently contributed Active Directory Domain Services (abbreviated Active Directory DS) monitoring support to the OpenTelemetry collector. You can check it out here! You can utilize this receiver in conjunction with any OTel collector: including the contrib collector, the observIQ’s distribution of the collector, as well as Google’s Ops Agent, as a few examples.

MongoDB is a document-oriented and cross-platform database that maintains its documents in the binary encoded JSON format. Mongo’s replication capabilities and horizontal capability using sharding make MongoDB highly available. An effective monitoring solution can make it easier for you to identify issues with MongoDB such as resource availability, execution slowdowns, and scalability. observIQ recently built and contributed a MongoDB metric receiver to the OpenTelemetry contrib repo.

The OpenTelemetry members at observIQ are excited to add Microsoft IIS metric monitoring support to OpenTelemetry!
