OpenTelemetry: Observability with Java
OpenTelemetry is a powerful framework for gaining insights into distributed systems. This course will teach you how to implement OpenTelemetry in Java applications to collect, export, and analyze telemetry data using industry-standard observability tools.
What you'll learn
Modern distributed systems generate vast amounts of telemetry data, making it challenging to monitor performance, detect issues, and maintain reliability. In this course, OpenTelemetry: Observability with Java, you’ll learn to implement OpenTelemetry in Java applications to collect, export, and analyze telemetry data effectively. First, you’ll explore the fundamentals of observability and OpenTelemetry, including its architecture and integration with Java applications. Next, you’ll discover how to export telemetry data using the OpenTelemetry Collector and instrument applications manually and automatically. Finally, you’ll learn how to integrate OpenTelemetry with observability platforms like Grafana to analyze logs, metrics, and traces. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of OpenTelemetry needed to enhance observability in Java applications and improve system reliability.
