Join us live from GrafanaCON 2026 for the Alloy, OpenTelemetry & Instrumentation Community Call!

In this session:

We take a look back at Alloy’s rapid growth and adoption
Explore the introduction of the new OpenTelemetry Engine
Dive into fleet management, instrumentation, and onboarding at scale

From running dual engines in a single collector, to managing thousands of agents and simplifying instrumentation across Kubernetes—this session covers how observability data actually gets into Grafana.
