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

Dynatrace

MAY 17, 2023

In this OpenTelemetry demo series, we’ll take an in-depth look at how to use OpenTelemetry to add observability to a distributed web application that originally didn’t know anything about tracing, telemetry, or observability. In addition to tracing, observability also defines two other key concepts, metrics and logs.
