Zero-code application observability with Grafana Beyla and eBPF: demo

The eBPF-based OSS auto-instrumentation tool Grafana Beyla makes it easier to get started with application observability. Beyla provides RED (Rate, Errors, Duration) metrics through OpenTelemetry or Prometheus for your existing web services, whichever language they are written in. You don’t need to change any line of application code or configuration; you only need to deploy the Beyla in the same host as the service that you want to monitor. Collecting monitoring data with the eBPF autoinstrument tool has very low overhead, and allows you to capture data about your runtime, which is impossible with manual code instrumentation. Watch this in-depth demo of how to use Grafana Beyla to get started with application observability.

Control Prometheus cardinality and metrics cost with Adaptive Metrics

Adaptive Metrics is a cost management feature in Grafana Cloud that helps enterprises control Prometheus cardinality and reduce their observability spend by identifying and eliminating unused metrics. Grafana Cloud customers using Adaptive Metrics see 20-50% reduction in their observability bill.

Simplify OpenTelemetry Pipelines with Headers Setter

In telemetry jargon, a pipeline is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of nodes that carry emitted signals from an application to a backend. In an OpenTelemetry Collector, a pipeline is a set of receivers that collect signals, runs them through processors, and then emits them through configured exporters. This blog post hopes to simplify both types of pipelines by using an OpenTelemetry extension called the Headers Setter.

Observability Shifts Right

Observability first emerged as a focal point of interest in the DevOps community in the 2017 time frame. Aware that business was demanding highly adaptable digital environments, DevOps professionals realised that high adaptability required a new approach to IT architecture. Whereas historically, digital stacks were monolithic or, at best, coarsely grained, the new stacks would have to be highly modular, dynamic, ephemeral at the component level, and spread over multiple cloud-based services.
