OpenTelemetry is a CNCF open-source vendor-neutral observability framework providing standardized APIs, SDKs, and tooling to generate, collect, and export traces, metrics, and logs.
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project that provides a standardized, vendor-agnostic framework for telemetry data. Merging the OpenTracing and OpenCensus projects, OTel defines the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) to capture distributed traces, system metrics, and structured logs across polyglot microservices.
Analyze distributed traces and spans with our OpenTelemetry Trace Analyzer, inspect network latencies in the HAR Analyzer, or debug exceptions in the Stack Trace Analyzer.
| Signal | Description | Key OTel Primitive |
|---|---|---|
| Traces | End-to-end journey of a request across microservices | TraceId, SpanId, Parent-Child Spans |
| Metrics | Numerical measurements aggregated over time | Counter, UpDownCounter, Histogram, Gauge |
| Logs | Structured timestamped event records with context | Structured JSON records with TraceId correlation |
Free, browser-based utilities to test, generate, and inspect OpenTelemetry (OTel) Observability Framework payloads directly.
