A step-by-step diagnostic guide for missing OpenTelemetry spans across Java, Go, Python, and .NET — covering SDK config, collector pipeline, and backend export failures with concrete checks, fixes, and escalation criteria.
Learn how to configure the OpenTelemetry Collector to ingest traces into Dynatrace using OTLP, including necessary API scopes, configuration examples, and diagnostic steps.
When instrumenting Java services with OpenTelemetry, choosing between gRPC and HTTP/1.1 OTLP exporters boils down to latency, infrastructure, and operational simplicity. This guide compares both transports, explains trade‑offs, and shows concrete Java code to validate your choice.
New Relic's Java agent vs OpenTelemetry for Spring Boot: a practical decision framework covering auto-instrumentation, Infinite Tracing, metric alerting, and migration path.
Learn how to add OpenTelemetry auto‑instrumentation to a Spring Boot app with a single JVM flag, verify traces for HTTP, JDBC, and CompletableFuture flows, and understand the trade‑offs and limits of the Java agent.
Learn how to implement a minimal OpenTelemetry Collector sidecar in Kubernetes to handle OTLP trace ingestion, probabilistic sampling, and batch exporting to Jaeger.
A step-by-step guide to adding OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation to a Java Spring Boot app, exporting spans to Jaeger via OTLP, and verifying distributed traces.
A step‑by‑step diagnostic guide for when spans or metrics never reach your backend — covering network, TLS, auth, batching, and protocol mismatches.
Missing trace links across microservices frustrate observability. This post shows how to enable OpenTelemetry’s built‑in W3C TraceContext propagator in Java, Go, and Python, walk through a minimal request chain, evaluate overhead, and give a migration checklist.
