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?

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.

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.
