In this video, I respond to a Reddit thread where a user was asking for feedback on leveraging the existing OpenTelemetry semantic conventions vs. a "roll your own" approach. I present some things you consider before finalising your choice.
In this 5 minute video, I explain the OpenTelemetry filestats receiver.
A lot of OpenTelemetry collector distributions exist. Many from the OpenTelemetry project, every vendor seemingly has their own and you can build YOUR own? So which should you choose?
In this video I deep dive into the OpenTelemetry collector components and explain everything you need to know to get started with the OpenTelemetry collector.
Another video where I show how to get started ridiculously easy with OpenTelemetry logging, using a tool we ALL have access to: cURL.
In this video I demonstrate how to autoinstrument a Python-based FastAPI application with OpenTelemetry in 2 lines of code, using auto instrumentation.
What's the difference between an OpenTelemetry span and an OpenTelemetry trace?
In the third episode of the series, the spans are sent from Python to Jaeger via an OpenTelemetry collector.
In the second of the series, the spans are enriched with useful metadata: Setting the span status, adding span attributes and span events.
In this post, you will take your first steps to manually instrumenting a Python application using OpenTelemetry.
