Concept for systematically collecting and forwarding metrics, logs and traces to support observability and operations.
Telemetry collection describes the systematic capture, aggregation and forwarding of metrics, logs and traces from distributed systems. It provides the foundation for observability, incident analysis and SLO measurement. Implementations must balance sampling, privacy and cost control to avoid overload and data loss.
Number of telemetry events per second being ingested.
Proportion of captured events lost before persistence.
Time to answer typical diagnostic queries in the backend.
Use of the OpenTelemetry Collector to aggregate and forward telemetry data.
Combined use of metrics and logs to monitor service level objectives.
Investigating a security incident by correlating traces and audit logs.
Inventory signals and set priorities.
Introduce and test agents and collector pipeline.
Configure sampling and retention rules, define alerts.
Establish monitoring and cost control, plan iterations.
