Cloud Observability can ingest and analyze metrics, logs, and traces from many different sources. While multiple formats exist for this telemetry data, the majority of enterprises recently are opting to use OpenTelemetry which Cloud Observability supports via native OTLP ingestion, directly from agents or from OpenTelemetry Collectors. Cloud Observability also has integrations available with major cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, and Azure, as well as popular infrastructure, services, and cloud-native components.
For users seeking comprehensive information on telemetry integration, the following resources are available:
- Tracing Instrumentation Quickstart
- Guides on adding tracing to services across numerous languages like C#, Java, Golang, Ruby, Python, NodeJS, and others.
- Kubernetes Quickstart - Collector and Operator
- Instructions on transmitting metrics, traces, and logs using OpenTelemetry Collectors within a Kubernetes setup.
- Guidance for Existing OpenTelemetry Collectors Users
- Contains essential configuration items for relaying data to Cloud Observability.
- Metrics Integration Search
- A searchable resource for metric integrations (e.g., Apache, Prometheus, AWS) built or validated using OpenTelemetry.
- Sending Log Data to Cloud Observability
- An early access document outlining the various ingestion methods available for transmitting log data to Cloud Observability.
It is recommended to always refer to the latest documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date integration details.
