World of OpenTelemetry

With an ever-expanding choice of technologies on the market, navigating the range of open-source observability tools can be a challenge. Which is why, when it comes to managing complex multicloud environments and their services, standardization is crucial. Here’s where OpenTelemetry (OTel) can play a key role. Developed through the merger of OpenCensus and OpenTracing, OpenTelemetry has become the new standard for open-source telemetry. Discover what OTel is, the types of telemetry data it encompasses, its potential benefits, and how NXLog can support your OpenTelemetry ecosystem.

Understanding telemetry pipelines

Back in the day, Gordon Moore made relatively accurate observations and projections about the exponential growth of transistors on semiconductors. It still amazes me, yet very few predicted the incredible growth of system interconnectedness and the vast amount of data it generates. It is estimated that 90% of all data was created in the last last two years. Given that everything is connected, the need for telemetry is growing at an unprecedented rate, and thus, the need to efficiently channel and manage telemetry data has also grown.
