How to Transform Telemetry Data with the OpenTelemetry Transformation Language

This demonstration shows how to use the OpenTelemetry Transformation Language (OTTL) to transform, filter, and enrich telemetry in the OpenTelemetry Collector without changing application code. We walk through a sample Python application and OpenTelemetry configuration file, generate real traffic, and then analyze the results in Splunk Observability Cloud.

Proactive testing means less stress and better results

Proactive reliability not only prevents costly outages, it also means your engineers are less stressed so they do their best work. Full transcript: It's not only helping when outages occur, but it's also helping reduce outages. It's this whole culture of blamelessness, right? And oftentimes, when you're in an environment where people are pointing fingers and saying, "Whose fault was it? And why is this thing broken?" and all these other things that are stressing you out.

Reliability results require visibility & accountability

Reliability doesn’t just happen if you build a good tool. It takes visibility and accountability to get results. FULL TRANSCRIPT:  One of the things I've observed over the last 10 years in the software engineering culture is this idea of kind of Field of Dreams DevOps. If you build it, they will come. And there's a lot of this in the developer tool space in particular. "Hey, if we just build a great tool and we make it easy to use, engineers will use it because they want to do the right thing.".
