How to Configure the OTel Community Demo App to Send Telemetry Data to Coralogix

If you’re just getting familiar with full-stack observability and Coralogix and you want to send us your metrics and traces using the new OpenTelemetry Community Demo Application, this blog is here to help you get started. In this simple, step-by-step guide, you will learn how to get telemetry data produced by the OpenTelemetry Demo Webstore into your Coralogix dashboard using Docker on your local machine.

Use HiveMQ and OpenTelemetry to monitor IoT applications in Datadog

Large IoT environments are highly complex and comprise multiple layers of disparate devices that must move data between each other, across potentially unreliable connections. Having visibility into each layer of your IoT environment is critical for quickly identifying problems with your deployment that could negatively impact user experience.

How OpenTelemetry Powers Observability @ Canva

Canva is an online design platform with a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere. To guarantee our customers have the best experience using our products, Canva engineers rely on the tools and products provided by the Observability team to measure and quantify critical application health and performance metrics.

Modern observability and security on Kubernetes with Elastic and OpenTelemetry

The structured nature of Kubernetes enables a repeatable and scalable means of deploying and managing services and applications. This has led to widespread adoption across market verticals for both on-premises and cloud deployment models. The autonomous nature of Kubernetes operation, however, demands comprehensive, fully-converged observability and security. This is uniquely possible today using the Elastic platform.

A Simplified Guide to OpenTelemetry

Digital services are increasingly built as a collection of components working in concert to deliver significant business functions. Understanding how these components of a system are working is crucial to reliably delivering a service. With many systems interacting, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to understand the state of your services and their dependencies without detailed data about how they function.

Tracing with InfluxDB IOx

Tracing has always been a key use case for time series data. But admittedly, it’s also one that past versions of InfluxDB could not handle as well as we wanted. One of the roadblocks was the cardinality issue. Tracing data is, almost by definition, high cardinality data and prior to InfluxDB IOx, high cardinality data could affect query performance.
