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.

Working in the observability and monitoring space for the last few years, we have had multiple users complain about the lack of detailed monitoring for messaging queues and Kafka in particular. Especially with the coming of instrumentation standards like OpenTelemetry, we thought there must a better way to solve this. We dived deeper into the problem and were trying to understand what better can be done here to make understanding and remediating issues in messaging systems much easier.

Spans are fundamental building blocks of distributed tracing. A single trace in distributed tracing consists of a series of tagged time intervals known as spans. Spans represent a logical unit of work in completing a user request or transaction. Distributed tracing is critical to application performance monitoring in microservice-based architecture. Before we deep dive into spans, let's have a brief overview of distributed tracing.

For day 4, we will showcase the recent work we have done in Logs Pipeline. With Log Pipelines, you can transform logs to suit your querying and aggregation needs before they get stored in the database. Pipelines provide a way to modify the structure and content of log data without needing to change application code or redeploy components. By extracting relevant attributes from logs, pipelines enable more efficient analysis.

In this video, you will see a demo of how to monitor Kafka with OpenTelemetry. We will instrument a NodeJS application using Kafka and get client side metrics like delay between producer emitting a message to consumer receiving it via distributed tracing. We will also get Kafka server metrics like consumer lag and plot it dashboards.
