Webinar Training Takeaways

Gain insights into how diverse telemetry data - spanning infrastructure, Kubernetes containers, APM, and more - can be standardized through OpenTelemetry (OTel) and aligned with business KPI's. This approach helps quantify user impact and empowers teams to make swift, informed decisions when incidents occur.

OpenTelemetry, the data standard from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, represents the future of observability. With its lightweight, agentless integration across APM vendors, OTel offers a streamlined solution for modern monitoring.
