OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability project that provides a set of APIs, SDKs, and tooling for collecting, generating, and exporting telemetry data. It provides instrumentation libraries in all major programming languages. In this article, we will demonstrate the automatic and manual instrumentation of Python applications.
In this tutorial, you will learn how HTTP endpoints can be monitored with OpenTelemetry. You will use the OpenTelemetry Collector to collect metrics from the target endpoint and send them to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization.
Effective EKS monitoring is crucial for maintaining the health and performance of containerized applications deployed in the cluster. In this tutorial, we will set up EKS monitoring with OpenTelemetry. We will build monitoring dashboards for node and pod-level metrics with data collected by OpenTelemetry. We will use SigNoz, an open-source OpenTelemetry-native APM, as a storage and visualization layer for setting up dashboards.
Monitoring Kubernetes cluster metrics ensures your containerized infrastructure operates as it should. By tracking essential indicators like CPU utilization, memory consumption, and pod/node statuses, you gain insights to proactively address issues, optimize resources, and maintain overall health. In this tutorial, you will configure OpenTelemetry Collector to collect Kubernetes cluster metrics and send them to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization.
Nginx metrics and logs monitoring are important to ensure that Nginx is performing as expected and to identify and resolve problems quickly. In this tutorial, you will install OpenTelemetry Collector to collect Nginx metrics and logs and then send the collected data to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization.
Spring Boot Monitoring aims to provide real-time insights into various aspects of a Spring Boot application. Spring Boot provides useful libraries like the Spring Boot Actuator and Micrometer to aid in monitoring. But in order to set up effective monitoring, you need to use a tool where you can send the monitoring data for storage and visualization.
Let's dive deep into the realm of Memcached, where we'll uncover the power of monitoring with OpenTelemetry and SigNoz. This isn't just about caching data; it's about watching over Memcached like a vigilant guardian, ensuring it performs at its best, and optimizing your application's speed.
For high throughput systems that focus on gathering continuous data or have a heavy read-only traffic, NoSQL databases came as a blessing. NoSQL databases, due to their unstructured nature of data, allow relatively faster inserts as well as reads compared to relational databases. One such database that’s quite popular today is MongoDB. In this article, our focus would be to understand how to extract metrics out of MongoDB and ship them to Signoz using the Open Telemetry collector.
Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) is the emerging open standard to manage a fleet of telemetry agents at scale.
Take a look at the conversation between Nočnica Mellifera and Srikanth as we discuss recent updates to the standard and how you can remotely manage the OpenTelemetry collector with OpAMP.
Join Nočnica Mellifera and Srikanth to talk in detail about the OpenTelemetry Trace API. We'll talk about adding spans, events, attributes and other extra info, whether it's really possible to replace logs with traces, and more.
