  • perses

    The CNCF sandbox for observability visualisation. Already supports Prometheus/Tempo - more data sources to come!

    Check out Perses: https://github.com/perses/perses

    Less mature than Grafana but recently accepted by the CNCF as a sandbox project, hopefully a positive leading indicator of success.

  • coroot

    Coroot is an open-source APM & Observability tool, a DataDog and NewRelic alternative 📊, 🖥️, 👉. Powered by eBPF for rapid insights into system performance. Monitor, analyze, and optimize your infrastructure effortlessly for peak reliability at any scale.

    Looking for target for your OTEL data checkout Coroot too - https://coroot.com/ Additionally to OTEL visualization it can use eBPF to generate traces for applications where OpenTelemetry installation can't be done.

  • opentelemetry-rust

    The Rust OpenTelemetry implementation

    Why are you accusing me of posting an LLM reply?

    I just shared that I enjoyed using and contributing to OpenTelemetry. I never used an LLM. Do I really need to prove that I'm human?

    - a couple PRs I posted to Rust impl: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/pulls?q...

  • - OpenTelemetry tracer config in the web game platform I'm working on: https://gitlab.com/eternaltwin/eternaltwin/-/blob/main/crate...

  • labrute

  • dinoparc

  • mush

    - PHP usage: https://gitlab.com/eternaltwin/mush/mush/-/merge_requests/20...

    This all 100% handcrafted, as all my messages.

    Now that I proved that I actually used and contributed to OpenTelemetry, may I express that I like it overall but the regret that the auto-instrumentation is brittle and hard to debug?

  • signoz

    SigNoz is an open-source observability platform native to OpenTelemetry with logs, traces and metrics in a single application. An open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. 🔥 🖥. 👉 Open source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) & Observability tool

    I think the biggest value I see with OpenTelemetry is the ability to instrument your code and telemetry pipeline once (using otel collector) and then choose a backend and visualisation framework which meets your requirement.

    For example at SigNoz [0], we support OpenTelemetry format natively from Day 1 and use ClickHouse as the datastore layer which makes it very performant for aggregation and analytics queries.

    There are alternative approaches like what Loki and Tempo does with blob storage based framework.

    If your data is instrumented with Otel, you can easily switch between open source projects like SigNoz or Loki/Tempo/Grafana which IMO is very powerful.
