OTel pipelines¶
On the topic of building telemetry pipelines with OTel, I have not one but two contributions this time. Check out Building Telemetry Pipelines with the OpenTelemetry Collector by Ayooluwa Isaiah and How to Build Resilient Telemetry Pipelines with the OpenTelemetry Collector: High Availability and Gateway Architecture by Adnan Rahic to learn the basics as well as good practices. Thanks folks, KUTGW!
Prometheus and OTel¶
How Should Prometheus Handle OpenTelemetry Resource Attributes? is a UX research report by Victoria Nduka, from the official OTel blog. If you are a Prometheus head considering OTel, that's a good read for you!
Causal reasoning¶
Ben Yemini wrote When Everything Is Instrumented, and You Still Don’t Know What’s Broken, with embedded video, discussing the need for causal reasoning. Thanks for sharing!
