Serverless Monitoring In The Cloud With Bindplane and OpenTelemetry

For this first installment (Revisited), I will again work with Google Cloud Run to monitor MongoDB Atlas.

Sure, you can now add or swap destinations freely—but you’re still deeply dependent on a vendor in the middle of your data flow.

Integrating Google SecOps with Bindplane February 2025

Google SecOps (formerly Chronicle) is Google Cloud’s security operations platform (SIEM) that helps you detect, investigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats. Integrating Bindplane enables an easy way of standardizing how you efficiently collect, process, and forward security-relevant data to Google SecOps. In this live workshop you’ll get a hands-on demo of how to configure log collection with the Bindplane Distro for OpenTelemetry Collector, and best practices for data standardization using open standards and OpenTelemetry.
