How to manually instrument iOS Applications with OpenTelemetry

In this tutorial, we dive into the practical application of OpenTelemetry in an iOS project built with SwiftUI. We demonstrate how to set up the OpenTelemetry SDK, generate spans, and send them to a configured OpenTelemetry collector. Our example application displays a random sentence every few seconds. Each sentence generation process is instrumented with OpenTelemetry spans, which include an attribute representing the word count of the sentence.

The Sound of Code: Instrument with OpenTelemetry - Civo Navigate NA 2023

Join Henrik Rexed in this insightful talk as he explores "The Sound of Code" and demonstrates how to instrument your code with OpenTelemetry for improved observability. penTelemetry enables the generation of traces, metrics, and logs, providing valuable insights into application performance and troubleshooting in production environments. The talk covers the components of OpenTelemetry, how to customize telemetry data, and the importance of context in observability solutions.

Diving in to OpenTelemetry data with our new Trace and Logs Explorer

The team at SigNoz would like to share recent developments released this month that greatly enhance the ability to dynamically query your trace and log data. With these tools anyone can explore complex OpenTelemetry data and gain insight into their stack.

Free Jaeger Alternatives [comparison 2023]

Jaeger, a renowned distributed tracing system, has been a trusted companion for developers and operations teams seeking to unravel the complexities of microservices architectures. However, as the landscape continues to evolve, the time has come to explore Jaeger alternatives that offer distinct features and advantages.

Measuring the time between spans in an OpenTelemetry trace with a Clickhouse query

In a recent conversation on our SigNoz community Slack, a user shared their query that asks a deceptively simple question: what is the average time between two spans in a trace? The usefulness of this answer is evident if you think about how often the total trace time does not highlight the time you care about most. This could mean any number of things: that the total trace time of handling a web request might include lots of spans after a satisfying response was sent to the user.

What's new in distributed trace visualization in Grafana

At Grafana Labs, we are constantly improving our feature set, and tracing is no different. Traces are often overshadowed by logs and metrics, but they’re a pillar of observability for a reason. Used correctly, organizations that can quickly and successfully follow a chain of events through a system gain a more holistic view of their systems and are better equipped to find and fix issues faster.
