In the previous article I covered how to set up auto-instrumented tracing for a Node.js app using OpenTelemetry (OTEL). We then sent the spans directly to the open source tracing tool Jaeger. I recommend you give that a read first before walking through this guide because we're going to re-use the instrumentation we set up last time. Today we're going to take things a step further by introducing the OpenTelemetry Collector.
Recently I caught up with Jamie Allen on Episode 67 of the Slight Reliability podcast to discuss the idea of a single pane of glass (SPOG). Jamie had written an article titled The Single Pain of Glass which coincidentally was what I titled Slight Reliability Episode 10.

The shift from traditional monitoring to observability is widespread, and necessary. It's the way we make sense of increasingly complex and distributed systems. But when we capture all this data at scale... what do we do with it all? If this data itself had inherent value, we’d all be rich. But in the real world data does not provide us value until we can act on what it tells us.
