Reduce Data Costs: Log Sampling with OpenTelemetry and BindPlane OP

Redundant logs are a common nuisance in observability pipelines of all kinds. In large environments, excess logs can multiply data costs to unsustainable amounts. Log sampling is the process of randomly sampling logs to produce the same valuable insight with dramatically reduced data flow. Configuring agents in a pipeline to appropriately sample logs can be a pain. Pipeline managers, like BindPlane OP, make that process simple and scalable.

"Managing OpenTelemetry Through the OpAMP Protocol" by Mike Kelly, observIQ

Managing thousands of data collection Agents across just as many servers can overwhelm DevOps teams. Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) is a new network protocol from the OpenTelemetry Project that enables remote management of OpenTelemetry collectors, allowing them to report their status to and receive configuration from a Server and to receive agent package updates from the server. This eliminates the need to create new custom distributions and redeploy, drastically simplifying Agent management.
