How to Configure OpenTelemetry as an Agent with the Carbon Exporter

If you're already using OpenTelemetry for tracing and logs, adding otelcol-contrib as an agent for system metrics just makes sense. It keeps everything in the same pipeline, so you're not juggling multiple monitoring tools or dealing with inconsistent data formats. Plus, with built-in support for host metrics, custom processing, and direct exports to Graphite, it's a solid way to ship performance data without extra overhead. In this article, we'll detail how to install the OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib distribution, and configure it to export system performance metrics to a Graphite datasource.

Breaking Down Silos with Correlation and Context

In modern IT environments, data is abundant, but clarity is rare. Enterprises deploy dozens of monitoring tools to collect metrics, events, and logs from across the network, yet when something goes wrong, teams still scramble to connect the dots. Why? Because these data streams exist in siloes, isolated by format, source, or system.

Why you need Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM)

A few decades ago, monitoring your application was simple—everything ran on-premises, and performance issues were easier to pinpoint. But today, applications are built on globally distributed services, running across internal and external systems in the cloud, all connected through the Internet. In a world where the Internet is now your network, traditional APM (Application Performance Monitoring) isn’t enough. It only focuses on code and infrastructure, leaving critical blind spots that impact performance, availability, and user experience.
