⏳ 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’s improved
- 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.

New blog post! #OpenTelemetry in Practice: Alibaba's OpenTelemetry Journey

https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2025/otip-alibaba/

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.

#OpenTelemetry resource attributes and #Prometheus.

You know it and we know it: they don't always play well together.

This year, #LFX mentee Victoria Nduka researched how Prometheus handles #OTel resource attributes and how we can improve the user experience. Read our latest blog post to learn about her research findings and insightful recommendations. https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2025/ux-research-prometheus-otel/

🎬 And that's a wrap! In the latest session of #OTel in Practice, we spoke with Huxing Zhang and Steve Rao of Alibaba, as they explained how Alibaba adopted #OpenTelemetry over the years, including their contributions to the project. If you missed it, catch up on the recording at https://buff.ly/iDYzz4J

Is anybody I know (or who reads this post 😅) using #Azure Container Apps with #OpenTelemetry collection enabled sending the telemetry to an external provider?

#o11y #OTel #OTLP

📣 This Wednesday, 16th July at 4PM CST / 10AM CET join us for a new session of OTel in Practice with Huxing Zhang and Steve Rao.

🔭 Discover how Alibaba has approached #OpenTelemetry adoption within their internal platform and services. We’ll cover challenges and learnings from large-scale migrations, and the journey that has led them to be active contributors to OpenTelemetry!

Worth the effort?

#Fedify 1.3.0이 릴리스되었습니다. #OpenTelemetry 서포트들 비롯해 많은 것이 바뀌었으니, 아래 릴리스 노트에서 살펴보세요!

https://velog.io/@hongminhee/fedify-1.3.0

#Fedify's @opentelemetry instrumentation works like a charm with @getsentry!

#OpenTelemetry #Sentry

Okay. While #Sentry SDK for #Node.js supports #OpenTelemetry integration, Sentry SDK for #Deno does not.

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.

https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/node/opentelemetry/

We are going to add instrumentation support for #OpenTelemetry to #Fedify. What kind of spans or events would you like to be instrumented?

I usually don't post about work-related stuff except for ranting or asking technical questions, but this time I'll make an exception:

Today, Dash0 went out of beta and I am very proud to be part of the magnificent team making this #OpenTelemetry Native #Observability solution possible. 😀

Okay, all done. You can now use #LogTape to send logs directly to the #OpenTelemetry collector!

I'm implementing an #OpenTelemetry sink for #LogTape, but it's more complicated than I thought and has a lot of package dependencies… 🤔

❓ Is there any database migration tool (such as #Flyway, Liquibase, go-migrate, …) which supports emitting its progress via #OpenTelemetry?

#database #migrations #observability #o11y

"@Veeam Strengthens #Data Resilience ... with Increased Visibility to Potential #Cyber Threats Through #Integration with @Splunk"

As we take our first steps into the fediverse, we are wondering - are there specific things you'd like to see from us?

Obviously we plan to keep posting about #observability & #OpenTelemetry, with our usual meanderings into engineering management & #devops. And you'll never pry us away from #hugops or snark.

Also: if you're wondering why we followed you here, it's because you were following us on Twitter and we wanted you to know we were here!
