Bringing osquery together with OpenTelemetry

osquery is a fantastic little tool, typically used in security setups, which turns your endpoints into a queryable SQL database (eg. SELECT * from processes).

In this video I show you how to grab that data and send it to your Observability system so that now, both Observability (APM) data and security data can co-exist in a single place.

A technical deep dive explanation of how OpenTelemetry distributed tracing really works under the hood with examples using Python, FastAPI and the requests module and Jaeger. I discuss the traceparent header and its importance in correctly stitching a trace together end-to-end.
