Unifying Observability: Correlating Metrics, Traces, and Logs with Exemplars and OpenTelemetry

Learn how to correlate metrics, traces, and logs in modern distributed systems through this conference talk from Apple engineers at KubeCon. Dive into practical implementation strategies for unifying observability signals using exemplars with OpenTelemetry SDK and Collector. Discover techniques for navigating between logs, metrics, and traces while seeing the results visualized in Grafana. Master the fundamentals of creating exemplars through OpenTelemetry to enhance application performance monitoring and gain deeper insights into system behavior. Explore real-world examples demonstrating how correlation between different observability signals can provide comprehensive understanding of distributed system performance.
