Learn how to use the common OpenTelemetry demo application with Sumo Logic

OpenTelemetry has gained significant adoption in the past year. This blog is about the common Otel demo application, but you can refer to this primer about OTel in general. Although it has gained recognition in the industry, there are still many people who haven’t started using OpenTelemetry. If you are interested in exploring its capabilities but you’re unsure where to start, keep reading.

Why metrics, logs, and traces aren't enough

Unlock the full potential of your observability stack with continuous profiling Identifying performance bottlenecks and wasteful computations can be a complex and challenging task, particularly in modern cloud-native environments. As the complexity of cloud-native environments increases, so does the need for effective observability solutions.

Reduce mean time to hello world with OpenTelemetry, Grafana Mimir, Grafana Tempo, and Grafana: Inside Adobe's observability stack

How is Grafana like an invisibility cloak? At Adobe, it’s one of just four tools they’re using to build observability directly into their CI/CD pipeline, making it essentially invisible — but nonetheless impactful — to thousands of developers across the organization who use it in their day-to-day lives.

3 Easy Ways to Get Started With Distributed Tracing

Not to put too fine a point on it, but we think distributed tracing gets a very bad rap for being too complicated and labor-intensive. We’re here to show you three ways you can jumpstart a distributed tracing effort, starting small and expanding as it makes sense. These examples involve only a little code and perhaps a bit of a mindset change. Starting small with distributed tracing can even be fun, because who doesn’t like getting customized results without much work?

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.

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.
