| What Could Go Wrong with a GraphQL Query and Can OpenTelemetry Help? | Budhaditya Bhattacharya | 18m |
Shows concrete instrumentation steps: NodeJS GraphQL is wired to the OpenTelemetry collector, traces export to Jaeger and metrics to Prometheus via the… | ||
| Fine-Tuning Auto-Instrumentation | Jamie Danielson | 22m |
Shows concrete knobs for OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation across Java, Node.js and Python: enable/disable specific instrumentations, Java’s span suppression… | ||
| Time Matters: Choosing Between Delta and Cumulative Metric Temporalities for Effective Monitoring | Tom Braack | 11m |
OpenTelemetry Collector now includes a delta-to-cumulative processor (and a cumulative->delta pair) that works but is stateful and requires sticky routing, so… | ||
| Implement auto instrumentation under GraalVM static compilation on OTel Java Agent | Zihao Rao, Huxing Zhang | 19m |
Implements static instrumentation so OpenTelemetry Java Agent works with GraalVM native-image by running a pre-running pruning phase plus the native-image… | ||
| Telemetry Over Events: Developer-Friendly Instrumentation at American Express Mobile | Ace Ellett, Kylan Johnson | 13m |
American Express Mobile rearchitects instrumentation by placing an event-based telemetry framework in front of OpenTelemetry, emitting custom events that… | ||
| The "Zen" of Python Exemplars | Paige Cruz | 15m |
Exemplars attach trace IDs to metric points so a dashboard diamond links directly to a trace; example setup sends OpenTelemetry traces to Jaeger and… | ||
| Tuning OTel Collector Performance Through Profiling | Braydon Kains | 15m |
Uses Go's built‑in profiler and the PPR extension (OpenTelemetry profiles extend PPR) to find real issues: a Prometheus receiver heap region grows from ~0.5 GB… | ||
| PANEL: OpenTelemetry Technical Committee Panel | Josh Suereth, Reiley Yang, Rynn Mancuso, Jack Berg | 34m |
A technical committee panel explains concrete priorities and fixes: implementing file-based configuration to replace brittle env-vars and programmatic-only… | ||
| Closing Remarks | Austin Parker | 01m |
Event wraps with sponsor shoutouts: Mesmo, Observer IQ, Grafana, Microsoft and OpenSearch, a promise to repeat next year and try a European edition, and a plug… | ||
| Managing Observability Data at the Edge with the OpenTelemetry Collector and OTTL | Evan Bradley | 13m |
OpenTelemetry Collector deploys to sidecars to parse JSON logs, filter debug-level noise, and redact PII by replacing purchase IDs with a sha256 hash stored… | ||
| Breaking the Chain of Blame: How to Get True Test Observability? | Ken Hamric | 16m |
Uses Playwright to drive a Node.js app that imports a Pokemon by ID while emitting OpenTelemetry spans to a Jagger collector, and verifies traces with… | ||
| Behind the Code: Design Choices in OpenTelemetry .NET Metrics API and SDK | Cijo Thomas | 20m |
OpenTelemetry .NET Metrics API and SDK aim for zero heap allocation by adding overloads for 1–3 attributes, a stack-only ReadOnlySpan handoff and a struct… | ||
| OpenTelemetry for Mobile Apps: Challenges and Opportunities in Data Mob... | Andrew Tunall, Hanson Ho | 18m |
Embrace describes rebuilding native Android and iOS SDKs to OpenTelemetry standards, confronting concrete issues: 72% of digital transactions happen on mobile… | ||
