What is open telemetry? Open telemetry
is an open-source standard for
collecting logs, metrics, and traces
from your application. So instead of
using different libraries or tools for
each type of telemetry data, open
telemetry provides you with a unified
way to generate and send all
observability data. And here's how it
works. Open telemetry provides with
instrumentation libraries for languages
like Golang, Java, Python, and NodeJS
that automatically captures key events
like HTTP calls, database queries, or
service to service communication. The
most important component is the open
telemetry collector which receives
telemetry data from your applications
and forwards it to any back end you
choose could be honeycomb data dog new
relic Jagger graphana anything and
because open telemetry uses a common
protocol OLTP all the telemetry data is
consistent and vendor neutral so in
short open telemetry is an open-source
tool that helps you understand what your
app is doing by collecting logs metrics
and traces and sending this data to any
observability tool so you can understand
what's the issue and fix it.

OpenTelemetry is an open-source standard for collecting logs, metrics, and traces from your applications in a vendor-neutral way. It lets you instrument your services once and send the data to any observability platform like New Relic, Honeycomb, Grafana, Datadog, etc. https://opentelemetry.io/ #opentelemetry OpenTelemetry works by collecting data from your application—like logs, metrics, and traces—using language SDKs, auto-instrumentation, or sidecar agents. This data is sent to an OpenTelemetry Collector, which processes and exports it to any backend you choose, such as Honeycomb, Grafana, or Jaeger. In short, OTEL provides a standard way to generate and send observability data so you can understand how your system behaves end to end OpenTelemetry works by collecting data from your application - like logs, metrics, and traces... using language SDKs, auto-instrumentation, or sidecar agents.
