  • OpenTelemetry vs OpenTracing - choosing one for instrumentation
    3 projects | dev.to | 28 Apr 2022
    OpenTracing was an open-source project aimed at providing vendor-neutral APIs and instrumentation for distributed tracing. In distributed cloud-native applications, it is difficult for engineering teams to see how requests are performing across services. And that’s where distributed tracing comes into the picture.

  • How important is Observability for SRE?
    5 projects | dev.to | 3 Dec 2021
    Traces are the record of the execution path of a program or system. They represent the flow of a request through your services and allow you to see the end-to-end path of execution. Distributed tracing is particularly important in modern distributed architectures, like microservices. The primary building block of a trace is the span. In the OpenTracing specification, spans encapsulate the following information:

    And also, Morgan McLean now is the PM of Splunk. He was the main person who worked for OpenCensus, and then he tried to make OpenCensus and OpenTelemetry the first choice for the instrumentation for Google Cloud Trace and Cloud Monitoring. So that's the reason why I had to work with those libraries or the project. So Morgan McLean was really keen on communicating with the OpenTracing team because the objectives of instrumentation for trace were the same in the OpenTracing project and OpenCensus project. And he was really good at communicating with other people.

  • A shallow dive into auto-instrumenting Node.js applications with Elastic APM
    9 projects | dev.to | 7 Dec 2020
    One thing I love about the Elastic APM agents, especially for Node.js, is how easy setup is. All you need to do is:
    9 projects | dev.to | 7 Dec 2020
    The mysql instrumentation wraps the getConnection method on the MySQL pool, so that the connection that is returned reports on queries
    9 projects | dev.to | 7 Dec 2020
    The Redis instrumentation wraps the RedisClient.prototype.internal_send_command method so that any new clients will automatically start spans before sending any commands.
    9 projects | dev.to | 7 Dec 2020
    You'll notice a list of modules that are supported for instrumentation on line 13. For each module, the agent loads the patch (see the modules folder containing the patches for each module). Then the agent calls the hook() function. This is where the libraries are actually monkey-patched.
