Common instrumentation
Shared conventions for metrics, traces and logs between equipment and applications.
We design OpenTelemetry instrumentation and pipelines to produce, process and export metrics, traces and logs with consistent conventions. Architecture retains flexibility to choose backends according to each need.
OpenTelemetry is a framework and toolkit open source, supplier agnostic, to generate, collect and export telemetry. It is not a storage or display backend: it standardizes APIs, SDKs, protocols, conventions and components such as the Collector.
It is valuable when there are multiple languages, runtimes, clouds or observability tools and the organization needs to reduce inconsistencies. Design should include sampling, attributes, privacy, processing and destination of data.
The tool is configured around the service, risks and decisions that each team needs to make.
Shared conventions for metrics, traces and logs between equipment and applications.
Collectors who receive, process and export telemetry to different backends.
An interoperable capture layer that makes it easy to evolve tools and destinations.
Attributes and propagation designed to connect behavior between services.
First we validate the context. Then we expand coverage with evidence, accountability and measurable criteria.
We map services, languages, runtimes, current telemetry and backends.
We define resources, attributes, names, propagation and sensitive data.
We configure SDKs, instrumentation and Collectors with controlled processing.
We measure coverage, quality, volume, latency and research utility.
Responses to assess scope, integration and next steps.
No. OpenTelemetry generates, collects, processes and exports telemetry; storage, analysis and visualization are handled by other backends.
Yes. It is important to prioritize critical services, define conventions and validate a pipeline before extending instrumentation to the entire organization.
It helps to decouple the instrumentation of a specific backend, although each destination can retain its own functionality, queries and costs.
It can receive, process and export telemetry. Its topology, resources, security and availability must be designed according to volume and destinations.
We review coverage, sources and risks to propose a clear scope, integrated with your technological reality.
