Integrating Distributed Tracing in Node.js Application

Jun 28, 2024 By Aiswarya S In Atatus
This architecture allows Node.js to handle thousands of concurrent connections with low overhead, making it highly efficient for building high-performance web servers and microservices. With many such systems adopting microservices and going for a distributed architecture, the necessity to monitor them has also increased. It is difficult to monitor every transaction and how it interacts with other services, so a distributed tracing system deserves a lot of attention here.

Free the data: Why US federal agencies should standardize on OpenTelemetry

Jun 26, 2024 By Bill Wright In Elastic
In today's digital age, data is the lifeblood of modern organizations — and the US government is no exception. As agencies grapple with the ever-increasing volume and complexity of data, it is imperative to adopt a standardized approach to monitoring, analyzing, and understanding the behavior of complex IT systems. This is where OpenTelemetry, an open-source observability framework, comes into play.

Unify your OpenTelemetry and Datadog experience with the embedded OTel Collector in the Agent

Jun 26, 2024 By Lutao Xie In Datadog
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open source, vendor-neutral observability solution that consists of a suite of components—including APIs, SDKs, and the OTel Collector—that allow teams to monitor their applications and services in a standardized format. OTel defines this data via the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), a standard for the encoding and transfer of telemetry data that organizations can use to collect, process, and export telemetry and route it to observability backends, such as Datadog.

OpenTelemetry Best Practices #3: Data Prep and Cleansing

Jun 24, 2024 By Martin Thwaites In Honeycomb
Having telemetry is all well and good—amazing, in fact. It’s easy to do: add some OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation libraries to your stack and they’ll fill your disks with data pretty quickly. However, having good telemetry data—data that’s curated into being useful—is something that is both cost-effective and represents good value.

Mastering Telemetry Pipelines: Driving Compliance and Data Optimization

Jun 20, 2024 By Mezmo In Mezmo
I had the opportunity to present with Michael Fratto, Senior Research Analyst at S&P Global Market Intelligence, at a virtual event hosted by Redmond. We discussed how telemetry pipelines are critical in controlling telemetry data (logs, metrics, events, and traces). Mike shared excellent insights from his recent research survey that discussed the proliferation of observability tools in enterprises and the challenges organizations face in managing those tools. ‍

Monitoring AWS Lambda Node.js Functions with OpenTelemetry

Jun 18, 2024 By Aiswarya S In Atatus
When deploying a Node.js function in the cloud, you might initially think of traditional methods involving web servers and other infrastructure. However, if your application suddenly faces a surge in traffic—thousands or even millions of requests—it could crash if it's unable to handle the load. This is where AWS Lambda shines. AWS Lambda allows developers to run code without provisioning or managing servers.

How to use OpenTelemetry resource attributes and Grafana Cloud Application Observability to accelerate root cause analysis

Jun 17, 2024 By Marylia Gutierrez In Grafana
Let’s imagine a scenario: you use OpenTelemetry, and your observability backend runs on several hosts. You collect data on application latency, and notice a recent increase that you want to investigate. But how will you know which host caused the degradation? This is exactly where OpenTelmetry resources come in. In the context of OpenTelemetry, a resource represents the entity producing the telemetry data, such as a container, host, process, service, or operating system.

Open Telemetry 101 - A Primer

Jun 6, 2024 By Ian Bloom In OpsRamp
OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework designed to capture distributed traces and metrics from applications and services. It provides a standardized way to collect, process, and export telemetry data to various backends like tracing systems, monitoring platforms, and logging tools. OpenTelemetry, currently an incubating project at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, is the merger of two popular observability projects: OpenTracing and OpenCensus.

How to achieve Observability for Microservices-based apps using Distributed Tracing?

Jun 5, 2024 By Ankit Anand In SigNoz
Modern digital organizations have rapidly adopted microservices-based architecture for their applications. Microservices-based apps have components designed around business capabilities serving a specific purpose. It enables smaller engineering teams to own specific services that lead to increased productivity. But componentization also leads to complexity. Today’s modern internet-scale businesses have hundreds or thousands of microservices.

OpenTelemetry Metrics: Concepts, Types & Instruments

Jun 5, 2024 By Sara Miteva In Checkly
OpenTelemetry (OTel) Metrics are part of the OpenTelemetry project, which provides tools, APIs, and SDKs for telemetry data collection. These metrics capture system performance data like request latency, error rates, resource usage, and throughput. OTel aims to standardize observability across languages and platforms, making it easier to use and integrate telemetry data. Metrics are one of three core signals of OpenTelemetry along with logs and traces.
