Getting Started with OpenObserve
A producer-side guide to instrumenting your own MCP server with OpenTelemetry: tracing tools/call, propagating context via _meta, and deriving RED metrics.
Instrument Claude Code with OpenTelemetry, ship usage and cost data to OpenObserve, then query it back from Claude Code via the OpenObserve MCP server.
Trace, meter, and log Claude Agent SDK agents with OpenTelemetry: tool calls, MCP servers, extended thinking, and cost, all correlated in OpenObserve.
Trace Amazon Bedrock model calls, Bedrock Agents, and AgentCore with OpenTelemetry's gen_ai.* conventions (v1.41), then track token cost in dollars in OpenObserve.
Stop tab-switching at 3AM. Wire trace_id into logs and exemplars into metrics so you can pivot from alert to root cause in seconds, not hours.
A working pipeline for monitoring Kubernetes logs at scale: the openobserve-collector Helm chart for the fast path, or Fluent Bit + OpenTelemetry Collector for full control. Helm configs, multi-cluster routing, retention math.
Elasticsearch was built for search, not logs. Learn how to migrate your ELK log pipeline to OpenObserve using OTel Collector or Fluent Bit.
How to make AI agents observable in production: OTel instrumentation, telemetry backends, cost tracking, and trace analysis.
How to monitor n8n workflows with Prometheus metrics and OpenTelemetry tracing using OpenObserve. Covers self-hosted n8n and instrumenting services that call n8n webhooks.
A comprehensive list and comparison of observability backends that support OpenTelemetry and OTLP, covering open-source, commercial, and cloud-native options.
A practical, code-first guide to instrumenting OpenAI with OpenTelemetry. Capture token usage, attribute costs by user and feature, build a cost dashboard, and alert on anomalies in OpenObserve.
A complete guide to OpenTelemetry: what it is, how the Collector and OTLP work, and how to instrument your first service.
Learn how to add distributed tracing to LangChain and LlamaIndex apps using OpenLLMetry and the OpenTelemetry SDK, with traces flowing into OpenObserve.
