We’re excited to announce the Metrics Endpoint integration, our agentless solution for bringing your Prometheus metrics into Grafana Cloud from any compatible endpoint on the internet. Grafana Cloud solutions provide a seamless observability experience for your infrastructure. Engineers get out-of-the-box dashboards, rules, and alerts they can use to visualize what is important and get notified when things need attention.

In this article I demonstrate how to instrument a Node.js application for traces using OpenTelemetry and to export the resulting spans to Jaeger. For simplicity, I'm going to export directly to Jaeger (not via the OpenTelemetry Collector).
