Span events provide many benefits and can help you improve your distributed tracing game. In this video, the Grafana Tempo team goes over when to add span events to your traces. We will show you how to use TraceQL to query for span events to get useful information about your services to help you track down bugs and chase down bottlenecks faster. Grafana Cloud is the easiest way to get started with Grafana dashboards, metrics, logs, and traces.

Quick demo on tying Feature Flagging (OpenFeature) with OpenTelemetry. It uses LaunchDarkly as feature flagging backend and SigNoz as observability backend.

In this video, I’ll provide an overview of the OpenTelemetry Collector’s configuration file (config.yaml) with examples from the Splunk distribution. I will briefly explain the components of the Splunk OTel Collector, and walk you through a sample generic configuration of the OTel Collector. We’ll then use the Splunk Observability Cloud interface to construct the commands needed to install the Splunk OTel Collector on a specific host. This installation will copy a default Splunk OTel Collector configuration onto the host, and we’ll review the Splunk specific components of this configuration.
