Instrumentation & Data Collection
This segment describes how telemetry data is produced and collected technically. It includes application instrumentation, collection via agents and collectors, as well as sampling and aggregation principles. The focus is on building reliable data collection paths rather than visualization or alerting.
Instrumentation
Strategic collection of telemetry from software and infrastructure to make behavior, performance and operational state measurable.
Telemetry Collection
Concept for systematically collecting and forwarding metrics, logs and traces to support observability and operations.
OpenTelemetry
Open standard and toolkit for instrumenting and collecting traces, metrics and logs via SDKs, collectors and exporters.
