OpenTelemetry Demystified: An Observability Tutorial for Beginners

[@isitobservable]

Hey guys, if you're ready to get started, you can head over to this tutorial. There, I'll show you how to instrument your code, including some really useful tricks the pros use: th-cam.com/video/a1qWMzpDuI4/w-d-xo.html

it would be great to give a solid example on 'why' would anyone need the OpenTelemetry. Video jumps into details quite quickly but it is not clear why would someone need to bother with OT

[@isitobservable]

Good point. thx for the feedback

[@ngcharnchuen4314]

Thanks Henrik, I really enjoy the way you explain things. They are very well structured and helped me gained a better understanding about OpenTelemetry as a whole. Keep up the good work!

Great presentation. It was covering majority of the topics at very high level.

Great content! for a moment I thought Charlie Hunnam was the host :D

[@isitobservable]

yeah it could make sense to create the son of observability ;D

[@unworthyServant08]

Thank you for this video! This is exactly what I needed to understand OTel!

[@isitobservable]

You're so welcome!

wow thanks

How different OpenTelemetry is from AppDynamics(APM) and which is better?

[@bobslave4512]

Thanks for short and detailed explanation!

[@isitobservable]

You're welcome!

Thank you for an awesome introduction to OpenTelemetry.
Where's the stability table shown in component section shared on the website?

[@isitobservable]

Hi , I usually look at each language listend in :opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/ ( there is a small table showing the current level of stability for traces, metrics and logs)

[@user-xv7je2tp8v]

Is it able to add some attributes to metric counter like for example service_name, group_name? Based on API we can simpy add attribute in function Add(value, attrib), but once I capture the data I only see Metrics structure (name , description, unit,kind) that you mention in movie. I dont see any attributes. I also add this in config:
processors:
attributes:
actions:
- key: "attr_name"
action: "insert"
from_attribute: "attr_name"

[@isitobservable]

For this i would recommend to use the Transform procesor with the new OpenTelemetry Transformation language. you will be able to adjust the metric and the datapoint.

[@raymondsquared]

do we still need the fluentd with this opentelemetry components?

[@isitobservable]

Hi, OpenTelemetry Logs is not fully implemented. We should have it in few month. therefore you will need to rely on Fluentd or fluentbit to collect, parse your logs. BTW fluentbit v2 supports logs, metrics and soon traces.
Are you trying to instrument your application using OpenTelemetry?
