Connecting Cloudflare and Honeybadger with OpenTelemetry

Oct 29, 2026 By Addison Curtis In Honeybadger
Honeybadger Insights is pretty great. It's even greater when you connect it to Cloudflare and start shipping logs directly from Cloudflare Workers to Insights. If you're already using Cloudflare to distribute your applications, it's easy to set up. Cloudflare Workers logs capture what your application is doing at the edge: console.log() output, uncaught exceptions, and system-generated logs for each request.

Five things you can do with Sentry's Agent Tracing

Oct 28, 2026 By Anton Bjorkman In Sentry
AI-powered apps are hard to debug without observability. From one run to another, AI produces different results, goes down different paths, and you’re none the wiser as to why it’s happening. Agent Tracing bridges the gap between prompt, tool calls and final output, all within the context of your app. If things break (it always does at some point, we know from experience), you get everything in one complete trace.

Managing Collectors at Scale: OpAMP and Fleet Management (Grafana OTel Community Call #11)

Oct 22, 2026 By Grafana In Grafana
In this episode of the Grafana OTel Community Call, we're joined by Bejal Lewis and Paschalis Tsilias from Grafana Labs to talk about OpAMP, the Open Agent Management Protocol, and what it takes to manage OpenTelemetry Collectors at scale. We'll cover what OpAMP is and why fleet management matters, where the spec stands today (it's still pre-release), and what it was like building production tooling on top of it.

What is Jaeger Tracing and How does It Locate Slowdowns Across Microservices

Oct 21, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
Why does a checkout or login take several seconds when CPU and memory look normal on every server? In microservices, one click can travel through a long chain of components before the user sees a response. Any one of them can hold the request up, and server graphs won't tell you which. Logs show what each service recorded. Metrics give you averages. What's missing is the path one request took and the place it lost time, and Jaeger tracing records exactly that.

What is Distributed Tracing? How a Request Becomes a Trace

Oct 21, 2026 By Ramya Shah In Motadata
A checkout request leaves the browser and touches seven services before anything comes back. Seven dashboards light up. Every one of them reports a healthy number for its own service, and every one of them is telling the truth about a different slice of the work. Nobody measured the request. That gap is what pushed tracing in beside metrics and logs as a core signal of observability. In this blog, you will: By the end you will open a trace and say where the time went.

MCP Server Monitoring: Tracing Tool Calls with OpenTelemetry

Oct 19, 2026 By Sejal Pandey In Last9
MCP server monitoring guide: spans, metrics and logs to record for tool calls, why failed tools look healthy, and how to trace requests from client to server. Sejal Pandey works on content and growth at Last9, writing about observability, reliability, and SRE practices.

What is Zipkin and How does Distributed Tracing Speed Up Incident Resolution

Oct 16, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
If a checkout slows down or an API call fails, why can the cause stay hidden for so long while every service dashboard looks fine? One customer click in a microservices setup may hit a gateway and a few backend services first, then a queue or a database. Every hop logs its own events, yet none of those logs points back to the original request. Distributed tracing was created to solve exactly this. Zipkin arrived early, as one of the first open-source tracers.

Introducing Fine-Grained RBAC: Resource-Level Permissions in SigNoz

Oct 15, 2026 By SigNoz - Open Source Observability Platform In SigNoz
A quick demo of fine-grained access control in SigNoz, using dashboards as the example. We’ve built one of the most advanced access control models in the observability space. See how to define exactly who can access each individual dashboard.

Sentry JavaScript SDK v11 adds tracing for all JS platforms

Oct 9, 2026 By Isaac Z. Schlueter In Sentry
This post is about a recent change to the Sentry JavaScript SDKs. If you don’t use Sentry with JavaScript, it may still be useful as a look at how we made the change and why. In the Sentry JavaScript SDK v11, we rebuilt how our tracing integrations work. While we still support the OpenTelemetry standard (described in more detail below), we now instrument your dependencies with a code transformer instead of using the OpenTelemetry instrumentation classes as we did in previous versions.

Manage your OpenTelemetry Collectors with Fleet Management in Grafana Cloud

Oct 8, 2026 By Marko Bachvarovski In Grafana
If you’ve built your telemetry pipelines around OpenTelemetry Collectors, you’ve already invested in a collector distribution, YAML configuration, and a deployment model that fits your infrastructure. As that deployment grows, managing it means keeping shared configuration consistent, accommodating different workloads, and understanding whether your collectors are healthy. Fleet Management in Grafana Cloud brings those tasks together in one place.

OpenTelemetry Collector Configuration for LLM Observability

Oct 7, 2026 By Mike Goldsmith In Honeycomb
Your LLM application emits telemetry unlike anything else in your stack. Model calls, tool invocations, retrieval steps, and token usage arrive as spans whose attributes carry entire prompts and completions. That data is bulky, it's full of user content you may not be allowed to export, and depending on which instrumentation each service uses, the same fact can arrive under different attribute names.

How to Filter and Reduce AI Agent Telemetry with OpenTelemetry & Bindplane

Oct 6, 2026 By Adnan Rahic In ObservIQ
Why is the telemetry AI agents generate so intimidating? If you turn on Claude Code’s internal telemetry it’ll throw a wall of text at you. And, it’s very expensive to store. But, the bigger issue is that you can’t make sense of it. Luckily it’s all OpenTelemetry native. That means you can configure it to send, transform, and store what you really need. Which raises the only question that matters. What do you actually need?

FastAPI 0.142 Turns On OpenTelemetry by Default. Here's What It Records.

Oct 5, 2026 By Scout APM In Scout
FastAPI 0.142.0 ships with OpenTelemetry built in. Install fastapi, set one environment variable, and every request produces a trace, metrics, and error logs. No middleware, no instrumentation package, no code. That’s a big change for a framework most Python teams instrument by hand. It’s also easy to misread. The defaults record more than some teams expect in one place, and less than others assume in another. Here’s what you actually get.

Distributed Tracing In Netdata: OpenTelemetry Traces

Oct 5, 2026 By Netdata Team In netdata
Back in 2020, when we laid out where Netdata was going, the plan listed anomaly detection, log collection and “application traces collection”. The first two shipped years ago. Traces took longer, because we wanted them to work the way the rest of Netdata works: collected and stored on your own nodes, with no separate backend to stand up. Distributed tracing is now available in Netdata.

Introducing Distributed Tracing in Netdata

Oct 1, 2026 By Netdata In netdata
Netdata now supports distributed tracing. In this webinar, we'll demo the new tracing capabilities for the first time: OpenTelemetry trace ingestion, the new tracing dashboard, and the UI built to let you move from a metric anomaly to the exact span that caused it. For years, teams have asked us to close the gap between infrastructure monitoring and application performance. This release does that. Netdata can now ingest traces via OTEL, correlate them with the metrics and logs you already collect, and surface them in a purpose-built interface designed for speed and clarity.
