Explore Traces app now in public preview | Grafana

In this video, Mat Ryer, Senior Principal Engineer at Grafana Labs, provides an overview of the Explore Traces app for Grafana, which lets you automatically surface insights from your traces with an intuitive, point-and-click interface. Mat demonstrates how you can use the Comparison view to quickly identify the source of errors, and how to drill down to see a full trace in detail to gain a more comprehensive understanding of your system.

Grafana OpenTelemetry distributions: prioritizing simplicity, sticking to OSS values

The OpenTelemetry (OTel) project offers numerous components and instrumentations that support different languages and telemetry signals. However, this flexibility can be overwhelming, and new users often struggle to choose the right components and configure them properly for their specific use cases. To address this, OpenTelemetry defines the concept of a distribution, a tailored and customized version of OpenTelemetry components.

How OpenTelemetry is Transforming Observability

The OpenTelemetry project is changing how organizations approach observability. It aims to standardize monitoring across different systems. OpenTelemetry—commonly referred to as OTel—provides APIs, SDKs, exporters, and collectors. It is making data collection, analysis, and utilization more efficient, leading to better decision-making and technology adoption.

Is OpenTelemetry Open for Business? September 2024 Update

One of the things about OpenTelemetry that’s easy to miss if you’re not spending the whole day in the ins and outs of the project is just how much stuff it can do—but that’s what I’m here for! Today, I want to go through the project and give you a guide to the various parts of OpenTelemetry, how mature they are, and what you can expect over the next six months or so. I ranked these elements by relative maturity across the entire project.

Enhance Your AIOps Strategy by Utilizing Data Classification

Are you looking for a way to increase your AIOps signal to noise ratio and get more value from your data? In this article we will explore how one can utilize OpenTelemetry’s collectors, processors and data models to add or enhance classification attributes. These attributes can help you use your AIOps tools more efficiently and derive more value from your current data.
