Observability for LLM Apps and Agents: OpenLIT SDK + VictoriaMetrics observability stack

Jul 3, 2026 By Aman Agarwal / Roman Khavronenko In VictoriaMetrics
Many “LLM observability with OpenTelemetry” tutorials stop at a single chat.completions span. That works for a demo, but it leaves gaps once an agent fans out into 30 tool calls, two vector-DB queries, three handoffs, and a 90-second tail latency you need to attribute. This post wires the OpenLIT SDK (50+ instrumentations, OTel GenAI semantic conventions, one line of code) into the full VictoriaMetrics observability stack and shows query examples that turn agent telemetry into decisions.

Why Relational Databases Fail Satellite Telemetry

Jun 19, 2026 By Allyson Boate In InfluxData
Satellite operations depend on telemetry as the primary interface to systems that teams cannot directly inspect. Once a spacecraft reaches orbit, signals such as battery levels, temperature, signal strength, and fault codes become the foundation for understanding system health and maintaining control. Telemetry streams continuously, so the underlying data system becomes a critical control point that needs to handle a constant, heavy flow of data.
