The OpenTelemetry Java agent is a convenient and well-established way to instrument Java applications. However, as of today it is not possible to use it with GraalVM Native Images. To provide you with an easy and seamless way for Spring Boot Native Image application nevertheless, the OpenTelemetry Java contributors have improved the existing OpenTelemetry Spring Boot Starter to work well with Spring Boot Native Image applications. Read on to learn more! A history of the last months The OpenTe...| OpenTelemetry
OTel integration! A no-brainer integration: Adding OpenTelemetry support to the Otterize network mapper Otterize automates workload Identity and Access Management (IAM) for zero-trust, automating policies like Kubernetes network policies, Istio policies, AWS IAM policies, and more, through a collection of open source projects. To enable that automation, Otterize built the network mapper. Otterize network mapper is a standalone Kubernetes tool that builds a live network map of your infrastruct...| OpenTelemetry
OTel integration! Cloud Foundry recently integrated the OpenTelemetry Collector for metrics egress and we learned a lot along the way. We’re excited about what the integration offers today and all the possibilities it opens up for us. What we were looking for Cloud Foundry is a large multi-tenant platform as a service that runs 12-factor applications. Cloud Foundry platform engineering teams usually run 4 to 8 Cloud Foundry deployments running thousands of applications and hundreds of thous...| OpenTelemetry
OTel integration! We’re excited to announce that Tyk API Gateway has first-class support for OpenTelemetry, with native instrumentation built directly into the gateway. With Tyk’s native OpenTelemetry support, developers and API platform teams get end-to-end observability into their API traffic, enabling faster troubleshooting and problem resolution. Why OpenTelemetry API gateways, as the front-line proxies for APIs, play a crucial role in both the management and security of API traffic. ...| OpenTelemetry
With contributions from Adnan Rahić and Ken Hamric. The OpenTelemetry Demo is a system that simulates a Telescope Shop, consisting of multiple microservices written in different languages, each handling a specific capability of this distributed system. Its purpose is to demonstrate how OpenTelemetry tools and SDKs can be used in an application to obtain telemetry for monitoring results and even to track problems across multiple services. One challenge when maintaining the demo is to add new ...| OpenTelemetry
It’s hard to believe as we prepare our 1.4.0 release but the OpenTelemetry demo is turning 1 year old and it’s been 6 months since we declared general availability with our 1.0.0 release. Project Milestones The demo has achieved remarkable milestones in its first year, with more than 70 contributors, 20 official vendor forks, 780 GitHub stars, and 180K Docker pulls. The project team has been hard at work adding new capabilities and improving on existing ones with more than 460 merged PRs,...| OpenTelemetry
Today, we’re very excited to make a joint announcement with Elastic about the future of Elastic Common Schema (ECS) and the OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions. The goal is to achieve convergence of ECS and OTel Semantic Conventions into a single open schema that is maintained by OpenTelemetry, so that OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions truly is a successor of the Elastic Common Schema. OpenTelemetry shares the same interest of improving the convergence of observability and security in this ...| OpenTelemetry
