Session: OpenTelemetry Crash Course: Streamline Data Collection & Troubleshoot Like a Pro
OpenTelemetry provides a unified approach to streamlining observability data collection from diverse systems and applications into an observability platform. In this session, we’ll explore the fundamentals of OpenTelemetry—what it is, how it functions, and how to troubleshoot the OpenTelemetry collector. From validating YAML configurations to enabling debug logging and visualizing your data pipelines, we’ll guide you through each step. Using the Splunk distribution of the OpenTelemetry collector, we’ll demonstrate all of this so you can spend less time debugging your data collection, and more time debugging your applications.
