For high throughput systems that focus on gathering continuous data or have a heavy read-only traffic, NoSQL databases came as a blessing. NoSQL databases, due to their unstructured nature of data, allow relatively faster inserts as well as reads compared to relational databases. One such database that’s quite popular today is MongoDB. In this article, our focus would be to understand how to extract metrics out of MongoDB and ship them to Signoz using the Open Telemetry collector.

Database monitoring is an important aspect to look at for a high-volume or high-traffic system. The database performance drastically impacts the response times for the application. In this tutorial, you will install OpenTelemetry Collector to collect MySQL metrics and then send the collected data to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this pre-requisites section.

In the realm of modern software development, achieving true observability is paramount for understanding application behavior and performance. This demonstration focuses on a.NET application that harnesses the capabilities of OpenTelemetry to seamlessly integrate logging and tracing functionalities. OpenTelemetry, a key player in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, provides a unified framework for comprehensive observability.

OpenTelemetry provides a component called OpenTelemetry Collector, which can be used to collect data from multiple sources. Prometheus is a popular metrics monitoring tool that has a wide adoption. If you’re using Prometheus SDKs to generate metrics, you can collect them via OpenTelemetry collector and send them to a backend of your choice.

Monitoring Apache web server metrics ensures your web server performs efficiently, securely, and reliably. In this tutorial, you will configure OpenTelemetry Collector to collect Apache metrics and send them to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization. We cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this prerequisites section.

When you think about observability? Do you just think of it as an insurance? Or do you think it can also drive growth for the business? Working with many customers and users trying to get better at Observability, there are two mindsets I see: Let’s explore.

OpenTelemetry stands at the forefront of modern observability practices, revolutionizing how developers gain insights into their applications' performance and behavior. As a powerful distributed tracing framework, it empowers engineers to effortlessly instrument their applications, providing comprehensive visibility into the intricacies of microservices architectures. This tutorial discusses how OpenTelemetry can be used to get insights from a Java application.

Manually deploying and managing OpenTelemetry components in a Kubernetes environment can be a complex and time-consuming task. It involves creating various Kubernetes resources, setting up configurations, and ensuring the components are properly integrated with the applications.

RabbitMQ metrics monitoring is important to ensure that RabbitMQ is performing as expected and to identify and resolve problems quickly. In this tutorial, you will install OpenTelemetry Collector to collect RabbitMQ metrics and then send the collected data to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization.

Welcome to the 30th edition of our monthly product newsletter - SigNal 30! Last month, our Github repo crossed 15k+ Github stars, which is a great milestone for our open-source project and for our team. We also shipped the much-awaited logs pipeline that will make logs parsing a much better experience for our users. We also shipped other improvements to the product, hosted OpenTelemetry meetups and webinars, and much more.
