OpenTelemetry's Hidden Superpowers: The OTEL Collector

Catch the replay of this in-depth and practical webinar where experts Nočnica Mellifera and María de Antón unveil the real power of the OpenTelemetry Collector.

In this hands-on session, we cover:

• Why filtering telemetry data matters — and how to do it smartly
• How to configure OTel Collector pipelines, filters, and processors
• The magic of OTTL: a transformation language that simplifies data reshaping
• Real-world filtering scenarios: regex tricks, demo ID anonymization, and metric normalization
• What can’t be done with processors (and why it matters)
• The Collector’s flexibility and stateless nature
• Cautionary tales around metric transformations — learn from our mistakes!
• How Checkly leverages the Collector for efficient, privacy-safe observability

Whether you’re new to OpenTelemetry or deep into building observability pipelines, this session will help you fine-tune your setup, reduce noise, and boost performance.
