How to Configure OpenTelemetry as an Agent with the Carbon Exporter

Apr 25, 2025 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
If you're already using OpenTelemetry for tracing and logs, adding otelcol-contrib as an agent for system metrics just makes sense. It keeps everything in the same pipeline, so you're not juggling multiple monitoring tools or dealing with inconsistent data formats. Plus, with built-in support for host metrics, custom processing, and direct exports to Graphite, it's a solid way to ship performance data without extra overhead. In this article, we'll detail how to install the OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib distribution, and configure it to export system performance metrics to a Graphite datasource.

Everything You Need to Know About OpenTelemetry Histograms

Apr 25, 2025 By Prathamesh Sonpatki In Last9
Modern systems throw off a lot of data—metrics, traces, logs—sometimes more than we know what to do with. When you're trying to understand how values spread out over time (like response times, memory usage, or queue lengths), averages alone don’t tell the full story. OpenTelemetry histograms help fill in those gaps. This guide walks through what they are, why they matter, and how DevOps engineers can use them to improve observability in real systems.

You’re staring at logs, trying to figure out what caused that odd error in the middle of the night. Or maybe you're following a chain of requests across services, hoping to understand how one user action triggered a series of unexpected behaviors. That’s where distributed tracing and request tracking—specifically, correlation IDs and trace IDs—are invaluable. It’s the kind of detail that can make debugging faster and less painful.

Pager fatigue: Making the invisible work visible

Apr 25, 2025 By Matilda Hultgren In Incident.io
As much as you try to prevent it, your product will break sometimes. While you hope it would have the decency to do so while you are awake and already working, sometimes the product is inconsiderate and decides to break outside your office hours. Being woken up from a page at 3 am sucks, and being woken up again two hours later (when you get pinged for a follow-up issue you missed the first time) sucks even more.
