OpenTelemetry vs. OpenTracing - Decoding the Future of Telemetry Data

Aug 13, 2024 By Ankit Anand In SigNoz
OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing are open-source projects used to instrument application code for generating telemetry data. While OpenTelemetry can help you generate logs, metrics, and traces, OpenTracing focuses on generating traces for distributed applications. If you’re thinking of choosing between OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing, go for OpenTelemetry. OpenTracing is now deprecated, and users of OpenTracing are advised to migrate to OpenTelemetry.

OpenTelemetry vs Datadog - Choosing the Right Monitoring Tool

Aug 13, 2024 By Favour Daniel In SigNoz
OpenTelemetry and DataDog are both used for monitoring applications. While OpenTelemetry is an open source observability framework, DataDog is a cloud-monitoring SaaS service. OpenTelemetry is a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs that help generate and collect telemetry data (logs, metrics, and traces). OpenTelemetry does not provide a storage and visualization layer, while DataDog does.

Jaeger vs. Grafana Tempo: A Comprehensive Comparison for Distributed Tracing

Aug 9, 2024 By Divyarthini Rajender In OpsVerse
When it comes to monitoring, diagnosing, and optimizing the performance of complex systems today, you can’t really go wrong with tracing tools. And while OpenTelemetry has become the go-to choice for instrumenting apps and collecting traces, there are several other options in the backend that can effectively store, manage, and analyze traces sent by OpenTelemetry. Two of these open-source tools are Jaeger and Grafana Tempo. In this article, we’ll compare and contrast the two.

An Overview of the OpenTelemetry Collector's Configuration File

Aug 6, 2024 By Splunk In Splunk
In this video, I’ll provide an overview of the OpenTelemetry Collector’s configuration file (config.yaml) with examples from the Splunk distribution. I will briefly explain the components of the Splunk OTel Collector, and walk you through a sample generic configuration of the OTel Collector. We’ll then use the Splunk Observability Cloud interface to construct the commands needed to install the Splunk OTel Collector on a specific host. This installation will copy a default Splunk OTel Collector configuration onto the host, and we’ll review the Splunk specific components of this configuration.

How to Monitor JVM with OpenTelemetry

Aug 6, 2024 By Deepa Ramachandra In ObservIQ
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is an important part of the Java programming language, allowing applications to run on any device with the JVM, regardless of the hardware and operating system. It interprets Java bytecode and manages memory, garbage collection, and performance optimization to ensure smooth execution and scalability. Effective JVM monitoring is critical for performance and stability. This is where OpenTelemetry comes into play.

Setting up and Understanding OpenTelemetry Collector Pipelines Through Visualization

Aug 1, 2024 By Greg Leffler In Splunk
Observability provides many business benefits, but comes with costs as well. Once the (not-insignificant) work of picking a platform, taking an inventory of your applications and infrastructure, and getting buyin from leadership (both from the business and engineering sides of the house) is done, you then have to actually instrument your applications to emit data, and build the data pipeline that sends that data to your observability system.
