OpenTelemetry (OTel)

OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework providing standardized SDKs and tools for collecting telemetry data (traces, metrics, logs). It enables vendor-agnostic instrumentation.

Key Concepts

  • Traces, metrics, logs (TM&L)
  • Collectors and exporters
  • Context propagation
  • Auto and manual instrumentation
  • Semantic conventions

Common Use Cases

  • Distributed tracing
  • Metrics collection
  • Vendor-agnostic telemetry
  • Application performance monitoring
  • Observability pipelines

Best Practices

  • Instrument early in development
  • Use semantic conventions
  • Configure appropriate sampling
  • Set up proper context propagation
  • Use OTel Collector for processing
