Avoid Stubbing Your Toe on Telemetry Changes

Feb 1, 2024 By Mike Terhar In Honeycomb
When you have questions about your software, telemetry data is there for you. Over time, you make friends with your data, learning what queries take you right to the error you want to see, and what graphs reassure you that your software is serving users well. You build up alerts based on those errors. You set business goals as SLOs around those graphs.

OpenTelemetry and Grafana Labs: What's new and what's next

Jan 31, 2024 By Juraci Paixão Kröhling In Grafana
A new year is a natural time to reflect on past achievements — and consider future aspirations. When I think about the observability space, specifically, in 2023, OpenTelemetry felt omnipresent. It was a hot topic at every industry event, with at least one dedicated talk at ObservabilityCON, Monitorama, PromCon, and KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, both NA and EU. A notable highlight from KubeCon was OpenTelemetry going GA, marking a significant milestone in the project’s development.

OpenTelemetry vs Prometheus Detailed Comparison

Jan 28, 2024 By Ankit Anand In SigNoz
Both OpenTelemetry and Prometheus are open-source projects under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. OpenTelemetry is a more comprehensive observability framework with support for metrics, traces, and logs. In contrast, Prometheus is focused specifically on time-series metrics. OpenTelemetry is more versatile, and if you’re confused between choosing between the two, go for OpenTelemetry. We will delve deeper into the reason for choosing OpenTelemetry over Prometheus in this article.

Observability with OpenTelemetry and Checkly

Jan 26, 2024 By Cinthia Portugal In Checkly
Observability isn't just a buzzword; it's a vital compass guiding us through the maze of system health and performance. As we’ve adopted microservice architectures, the ability to know ‘what is currently happening in our system’ has diminished as our operational resilience has increased. We find services scattered among a maze of interconnections and interdependencies. And even the logs that used to guide are now scattered throughout this maze.

OpenTelemetry Collector - architecture and configuration guide

Jan 23, 2024 By Ankit Anand In SigNoz
OpenTelemetry Collector is a stand-alone service provided by OpenTelemetry. It can be used as a telemetry-processing system with a lot of flexible configurations to collect and manage telemetry data. Let's do a deep dive on OpenTelemetry Collectors to understand how it works. The first step in setting up observability with OpenTelemetry is instrumentation. The application code is instrumented with OpenTelemetry client libraries that help generate telemetry data like logs, metrics, and traces.

Accelerate TraceQL queries at scale with dedicated attribute columns in Grafana Tempo

Jan 22, 2024 By Mario Rodriguez, Adrian Stoewer In Grafana
With Grafana Tempo 2.3, we introduced a new storage format (vParquet3), which enabled an exciting new feature (dedicated attribute columns) that focused on the read path. Dedicated attribute columns offer a wide range of benefits primarily centered around query performance and memory usage. These columns can improve read speed across most queries, and they can have a major impact on resource utilization.
