Simplifying OpenTelemetry with Configuration
Talkat Observability Day North America 2024 · on Tuesday, 2024-11-12· at 11:15· Salt Palace | Level 2 | 255 E·
summary
OpenTelemetry introduces a language‑agnostic file config that parses YAML into a JSON‑schema data model and then parses then creates SDK components so one YAML can configure Go, PHP and the Collector. Demo shows two exporters per provider (console + OTLP) and a rule‑based routing sampler that drops health‑check spans and applies a 40% trace‑ID ratio fallback, plus Views that drop jvmgc_duration and change histogram buckets. Opt‑in via otel experimental config file and the demos stream to otel TUI, Jaeger and Prometheus successfully.
