Paving the Road for Proactive Reliability

At Expedia Group, Kaushik Patel and Nikos Katirtzis have thousands of engineers and micro-services. Heterogeneity in terms of infrastructure and technologies used over the years created inefficiencies and posed the need for a set of automated best practices for our engineering teams. Over the past 2 years, using a data-driven approach, we’ve worked on creating a set of platforms that helps teams to adopt good reliability practices, including chaos engineering, release safety, or automatic failover between cloud regions. In this talk Kaushik and Nikos will cover the platforms they’ve built, including how they used data to drive their investment decisions.

The Importance of Traces for Modern APM [Part 2]

In part 1, we looked at how the design plan of traditional monitoring technologies depended heavily on properties of the systems that were intended to monitor and then showed how those properties began to be undermined by an increase in complexity, an increase which can ultimately be captured by the concept of entropy. In this part, we will explore how increased entropy forces us to rethink what is required for monitoring.

LLM Observability with OpenTelemetry and SigNoz

In the rapidly evolving world of Large Language Models (LLMs), ensuring peak performance and reliability is more critical than ever. This is where the concept of 'LLM Observability' comes into play. It's not just about monitoring outputs; it's about gaining deep insights into the internal workings of these complex systems.

Improved Dashboard Performance, Better Trace View UX & New Logs Processors - SigNal 32

Welcome to the last SigNal of 2023! 12 months of building and shipping things to make open-source observability available to teams of all sizes. What a great journey it has been for Team SigNoz in the year 2023. We crossed some great milestones - raised $6.5MN to supercharge our growth, more than 15,000 Github stars, and 8.6 million Docker downloads. And the best part of our journey has been building with our community.

How to export Azure Monitor Metrics using OpenTelemetry to SigNoz

Using OpenTelemetry Collector, you can collect metrics from Azure monitor and export them to any backend of your choice. Azure Monitor is a powerful service within the Microsoft Azure ecosystem that provides extensive metrics and logging capabilities. Yet the siloed nature of data in such tools can obscure the bigger picture, hindering a holistic view of system health. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this Prerequisites section.

Kubernetes Events Monitoring with OpenTelemetry | Complete Tutorial

Events in Kubernetes are objects that provide insights into the state changes within the Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes events monitoring is critical to provide real-time insights into the operational state of a Kubernetes cluster. It enables administrators to quickly identify and respond to issues, optimize resource allocation, and ensure the smooth and efficient functioning of their containerized applications.

OpenTelemetry ECS Tutorial - Monitor AWS ECS metrics [Step-By-Step Guide]

OpenTelemetry can be used to monitor ECS clusters. In this tutorial, you will install OpenTelemetry Collector to collect ECS metrics and then send the collected data to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this Pre-requisites section.
