OpenTelemetry

Exchange traces and metrics with OTLP-compliant senders and targets

The OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) supports instrumenting, generating, and processing telemetry data (metrics and traces) to analyze software’s performance and behavior. The protocol is open-source and vendor-neutral.

How to get the data flowing:

Otel as Destination and Stream as a source

  • Configure Stream to send data to your OTel targets via Destinations > OpenTelemetry.

  • Specify the endpoint, backpressure behavior, optional TLS and authentication settings, and optional throttling parameters.

  • Stream will start sending data to the OTel targets as it becomes available.
