OpenTelemetry: OpenTelemetry is an open source observability framework created when CNCF merged the OpenTracing and OpenCensus projects.[65] OpenTracing offers “consistent, expressive, vendor-neutral APIs for popular platforms”[66] while the Google-created OpenCensus project acts as a “collection of language-specific libraries for instrumenting an application, collecting stats (metrics), and exporting data to a supported backend.”[67]
Under OpenTelemetry, the projects create a “complete telemetry system [that is] suitable for monitoring microservices and other types of modern, distributed systems — and [is] compatible with most major OSS and commercial backends.”[68] It is the “second most active” CNCF project.[69] In October 2020, AWS announced the public preview of its distro for OpenTelemetry.[70]
https://opentelemetry.io describes OpenTelemetry as “a collection of APIs, SDKs, and tools. Use it to instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces) to help you analyze your software’s performance and behavior.“
OpenTelemetry is generally available across several languages and is suitable for production use.
