OpenTelemetry histograms reveal patterns, outliers, and trends

Dynatrace

Imagine you’re using a lot of OpenTelemetry and Prometheus metrics on a crucial platform. A histogram is a specific type of metric that allows users to understand the distribution of data points over a period of time. Histograms are commonly used to define and monitor service-level objectives (SLOs).

The road to observability with OpenTelemetry demo part 1: Identifying metrics and traces

Dynatrace

That is, relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and where it’s running into snags. In addition to tracing, observability also defines two other key concepts, metrics and logs. When software runs in a monolithic stack on on-site servers, observability is manageable enough. What is OpenTelemetry?

The road to observability demo part 3: Collect, instrument, and analyze telemetry data automatically with Dynatrace

Dynatrace

Making applications observable—relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and how it’s performing—has become increasingly important as workloads are shifting to multicloud environments. We also introduced our demo app and explained how to define the metrics and traces it uses.
