🚀 Vești bune pentru comunitatea din România!
Documentația OpenTelemetry are acum o pagină de prezentare disponibilă în limba română 🇷🇴
Construim acest proiect împreună și ne-ar bucura să avem alături mai mulți contribuitori vorbitori de română. Dacă vrei să ajuți, te așteptăm pe canalul #otel-localization-ro de pe Slack-ul CNCF.
Hai să facem observabilitatea accesibilă pentru toată lumea!

Every established enterprise has that one system. It’s the one running in the corner, performing a critical function for years. It’s reliable, but it’s also a black box. No one wants to touch it for fear of breaking it. 🫣
But what if you could make that black box more transparent with no risk? Check out our latest #OpenTelemetry blog post to learn how to instrument legacy applications without touching the code. Gain visibility, even in the cobwebby corners! 🕸️

Naming is hard, but it doesn't have to be! #OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions are designed to help you standardize naming across your telemetry. Next up in the blog series on naming things, today's post guides you through how to name your #OTel span attributes. Read, learn, do!
https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2025/how-to-name-your-span-attributes/
@opentelemetry@fosstodon.org
Our latest blog post explains how the End User SIG created a clear, low-effort, data-driven way for the #OpenTelemetry community to signal the work that matters most.
So the next time you’re browsing #OTel issues, don’t just read and leave. When you find an issue that describes a problem you’re also facing or a feature you’d like to see implemented, give the issue description a 👍 reaction. That’s it! Like and subscribe. That’s the signal.
@opentelemetry@fosstodon.org
Our latest blog post walks you through how to use basic grammar to name your custom spans. Follow this best practice to create clear, consistent names with low cardinality. Your future self thanks you!

⏳ Haven’t shared your experience with the OpenTelemetry Collector yet? There’s still time!
Our follow-up survey is still open, and we’re inviting all Collector users to help us understand:

- What still needs work
- How we can better support your use cases
Even if you responded to the first survey, we’d love your updated perspective.

@opentelemetry@fosstodon.org
OpenTelemetry Collector users — we want to hear from you (again)!
Last year, we did a survey to learn how you’re using the Collector. The response shaped a lot of our thinking. Now we’re back with a quick follow-up.
Tell us what’s changed, what’s working, and what’s still rough.

Okay. While #Sentry SDK for #Node.js supports #OpenTelemetry integration, Sentry SDK for #Deno does not.
@hongminhee@fosstodon.org
Does anyone have experience integrating Spans measured using the #OpenTelemetry API with #Sentry in #Node.js or #Deno?
According to the docs in the Sentry SDK, OpenTelemetry integration is out of the box and doesn't require any configuration, but Spans instrumented using the OpenTelemetry API are ignored. Spans made with the Sentry API are working fine.
