by Glenn Versweyveld

Learn how to achieve observability in distributed systems using OpenTelemetry and Grafana. Collect, analyze, and visualize telemetry data to diagnose issues and improve system performance.

What you'll learn

Observability is the practice of collecting, analyzing, and visualizing metrics, logs, and traces to gain insights into the health and performance of distributed systems. In this course, Observability with OpenTelemetry and Grafana, you'll learn how to achieve observability in distributed systems using OpenTelemetry and Grafana. First, you'll discover the fundamentals of observability to better understand the scenario you'll be working out. Next, you'll delve into the set of tools you’ll be using and explore their role in your observability stack. After that, you'll learn how to setup and deploy them locally or in the cloud. Finally, you'll discover what other production deployment options are available and highlight some extra configuration settings. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a good grasp of what needs to be done to have a good observability environment setup and how you can apply these learnings in your current projects.
