OpenTelemetry

Adopt vendor-neutral telemetry with consistent instrumentation across services.

When to Use This Skill

• Debugging latency across microservices
• Standardizing observability data model and naming
• Sending telemetry to Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or OTLP backends
• Building SLO dashboards with trace-to-log correlation
• Instrumenting Python or Node.js applications with tracing and metrics
• Setting up auto-instrumentation for existing services without code changes
