Relational Fields: Query Even More Relationships in Your Traces

Oct 30, 2024 By Quinn Leong In Honeycomb
Earlier this year, we introduced relational fields. Relational fields enable you to query spans based on their relationship to one other within a trace, rather than only in isolation. We’ve now expanded this feature and introduced four new prefixes: child., none., any2., and any3.. Previously, you could use root., parent., and any. to query on the root span of your target span’s trace, the parent span of your target span, and any other span in the same trace as your target span.

Trace your applications end to end with Datadog and OpenTelemetry

Oct 24, 2024 By Tushar Shrimali In Datadog
As teams adopt OpenTelemetry (OTel) to instrument their systems in a vendor-neutral way, they often face a challenge in effectively tracing activity throughout their entire stack, from frontend user interactions to backend services and databases. While OTel enables basic tracing, teams still need a way to access advanced capabilities like continuous profiling to adequately optimize performance and troubleshoot issues in their applications.

Getting Started with OpenTelemetry Visualization - A Practical Guide

Oct 1, 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. For OpenTelemetry visualization, you need to use a backend that can ingest the collected data and provide a web UI to visualize it.
