How to Enrich Logs and Metrics with OpenTelemetry Using BindPlane OP

Data enrichment is the process of adding additional context or attributes to telemetry data at the source that increases its value during analysis. OpenTelemetry, a collaborative open source telemetry project with the largest organizations in the observability space, can be configured to enrich logs and metrics from dozens of sources. This blog will show you the basics of how to use BindPlane OP to easily deploy and configure OpenTelemetry to enrich data from a source.

Creating Homebrew Formulas with GoReleaser

We chose to use GoReleaser with our distro of the OpenTelemetry Collector in order to simplify how we build and support many operating systems and architectures. It allows us to build targeting a matrix of GOOS and GOARCH targets as well as automate creating a wide range of deliverables. Ones we have utilized are building tarballs, nfpm packages, docker images, and Homebrew formula.
