Comprehensive Observability of Microservices Using Deep Linked Metrics and Traces

Overview

Explore comprehensive observability techniques for microservices in this 41-minute Linux Foundation conference talk. Dive into deep-linked metrics and traces as Ryan Allen from Chronosphere Inc. guides you through enhancing on-call experiences, leveraging tracing and metrics, and implementing Open Telemetry. Learn about Prometheus, M3, trace sampling, and building a complete ingestion pipeline. Discover how to select optimal trace sources, construct contextual links, and utilize M3 Query with exemplars. Gain insights into the current state of observability and access valuable resources to further your understanding of microservices monitoring.
