Getting Started with OpenObserve
Learn how to redact PII from LLM telemetry using OpenObserve's SDR, VRL pipelines, and OTel Collector — keeping traces debuggable while staying GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA compliant.
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.
Learn what microservices monitoring is, the 3 pillars of observability, and why OpenObserve is the best open-source tool for monitoring microservices in 2026. 140x lower storage costs, unified logs, metrics, and traces.
OpenObserve now supports Terraform for infrastructure-as-code deployments, Bring Your Own Bucket for full control over your data storage, and ships targeted UX improvements across the service catalog, traces view, and log correlation.
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.
How to make AI agents observable in production: OTel instrumentation, telemetry backends, cost tracking, and trace analysis.
