How To Get Started With OpenTelemetry

Observability Best Practices

You might have heard of OpenTelemetry and you may even use some of its components in your production systems, but does it provide any tangible benefits?

In this session we’ll discuss OpenTelemetry, who’s behind it, what it actually contains, and the immediate benefits to Splunk customers and anyone who builds and manages production services. You’ll learn about how OpenTelemetry already powers new functionality in Splunk Observability Cloud, the amount of integrations and flexibility that it unlocks, and how it will bring together experiences across the entire Splunk product line.

Join this interactive session where we will cover:

  • An overview on the OpenTelemetry OTel Collector architecture
  • The benefits of OTel for increased visibility in your applications
  • How Splunk is supporting and integrating with OpenTelemetry
  • How to build an OpenTelemetry Pipeline for yourself
