An Open Source OpenTelemetry APM | SigNoz

Sep 30, 2024 By Ankit Anand In SigNoz
OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) project aimed at standardizing the way we instrument applications for generating telemetry data(logs, metrics, and traces). However, OpenTelemetry does not provide storage and visualization for the collected telemetry data. APM stands for Application Performance Monitoring or Application Performance Management. APM tools help engineering teams effectively monitor their applications by monitoring key metrics for application performance.

OpenTelemetry UI - See What's Possible With OpenTelemetry data

Sep 30, 2024 By Favour Daniel In SigNoz
OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) project aimed at standardizing the way we instrument applications for generating telemetry data(logs, metrics, and traces). However, OpenTelemetry does not provide storage and visualization for the collected telemetry data. For visualizing OpenTelemetry data, you need an OpenTelemetry UI. The data collected by OpenTelemetry can be sent to a backend of your choice, which can then be visualized.

Grafana OpenTelemetry distributions: prioritizing simplicity, sticking to OSS values

Sep 19, 2024 By Matthew Hensley In Grafana
The OpenTelemetry (OTel) project offers numerous components and instrumentations that support different languages and telemetry signals. However, this flexibility can be overwhelming, and new users often struggle to choose the right components and configure them properly for their specific use cases. To address this, OpenTelemetry defines the concept of a distribution, a tailored and customized version of OpenTelemetry components.

Is OpenTelemetry Open for Business? September 2024 Update

Sep 16, 2024 By Austin Parker In Honeycomb
One of the things about OpenTelemetry that’s easy to miss if you’re not spending the whole day in the ins and outs of the project is just how much stuff it can do—but that’s what I’m here for! Today, I want to go through the project and give you a guide to the various parts of OpenTelemetry, how mature they are, and what you can expect over the next six months or so. I ranked these elements by relative maturity across the entire project.

OpenTelemetry and vendor neutrality: how to build an observability strategy with maximum flexibility

Sep 12, 2024 By David Allen In Grafana
One of the biggest advantages of the OpenTelemetry project is its vendor neutrality — something that many community members appreciate, especially if they’ve spent huge amounts of time migrating from one commercial vendor to another. Vendor neutrality also happens to be a core element of our big tent philosophy here at Grafana Labs. We realize, however, that this neutrality can have its limits when it comes to real-world use cases.

Automatic Discovery and Instrumentation of PostgreSQL with Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector

Sep 10, 2024 By Splunk In Splunk
In this video I’ll walk through the steps to instrument a PostgreSQL database using the Automatic discovery and configuration feature of the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector. We’ll use an install script to install and run the Collector with discovery mode on a Linux machine where the database is running. I’ll then show you how to properly configure the PostgreSQL receiver properties so that the Collector is able to connect and authenticate to the database. Once the Collector is successfully configured, I’ll show you how to view those metrics in Splunk Observability Cloud.

Strategies For Reducing Observability Costs With OpenTelemetry

Sep 6, 2024 By Michelle Artreche In ObservIQ
Keeping smooth and safe operations now relies entirely on observability. But as there's more and more data to keep track of, the costs are going up. This makes it hard for your companies to balance how well things are running and their budgets. OpenTelemetry can help by making a standard way to collect and process all the data. We're going to share how OpenTelemetry can save you money on observability and why having too much data can be costly.

The Importance of Securing Data in Traces

Sep 6, 2024 By Jon Skog In Lumigo
Trace spans are captured in the runtime after decrypting the request. This means that any sensitive data is available in plain text. This is also the case for logging; however, logging requires an explicit log statement to be coded by the engineer. Additionally, engineers can add arbitrary information to trace spans, which could expose sensitive information. Collecting sensitive information in trace spans or logging events could expose an organization to a number of risks.
