This post was originally published on the Tracetest blog. Want to run trace-based tests with Elastic APM? Today is your lucky day. We're happy to announce that Tracetest now integrates with Elastic Observability APM. Check out this hands-on example of how Tracetest works with Elastic Observability APM and OpenTelemetry! Tracetest is a CNCF project aiming to provide a solution for deep integration and system testing by leveraging the rich data in distributed system traces.
In today’s digital world, data is generated faster and at a larger scale than ever before. With software architectures increasingly adopting distributed, cloud-based models, network infrastructures have become complex webs of virtual and physical devices.
OpenSearch dashboards are a powerful tool for visualising and exploring data stored in an OpenSearch-compatible data store such as Elasticsearch. With OpenSearch's intuitive interface and advanced analytical tools, this visualisation tool makes it easy to gain insights into your data and monitor and alert upon key metrics. Throughout this article, we'll look at some of the most impressive OpenSearch dashboard examples that showcase it’s capabilities and versatility.
