What is Open Telemetry? The Future Is Here

Watch SolarWinds tech evangelist, Sascha Giese, dive into OpenTelemetry (OTel) and explain why a vendor-agnostic standard is the future of observability and application performance monitoring (APM). If you’ve ever wondered, what is OpenTelemetry? Sascha’s presentation is a great start or restart to diving back into the topic.

We cover the essential telemetry data known as MELT, which includes metrics, events, logs, traces, and explain why this data is crucial for today’s complex applications. Learn from Sascha why OTel is important for APM and how we use OTel with Kubernetes and hyperscalers within SolarWinds Observability.

As an open-source project under the CNCF, Open Telemetry helps IT teams manage complex infrastructure.
