OpenMetrics, OpenTracing, OpenTelemetry - Are We There Yet?

Explore the evolution of observability standards in microservices and distributed systems in this conference talk from NDC Oslo 2020. Dive into the challenges of monitoring complex systems and learn about the pillars of observability: monitoring, metrics, and traces. Examine the emergence of protocols like OpenMetrics and OpenTracing, and their impact on system instrumentation. Discover how the OpenTelemetry initiative aims to unify these standards and what it means for developers. Get practical insights on instrumenting systems to collect logs, metrics, and traces, with code examples in C# and .NET Core. Gain a forward-looking perspective on how OpenTelemetry may shape the future of observability and learn strategies to prepare for upcoming changes in the field.
