Platform teams
Design and operate collectors.
OpenTelemetry Training.
Hands-on training in OpenTelemetry: instrumentation, Collector, pipelines and conventions.
The problem we solve.
OpenTelemetry is becoming the telemetry standard, but its configuration has many moving parts. Without a shared foundation, every team ends up using it its own way.
What’s included.
- Concepts: traces, metrics, logs and context
- Automatic and manual instrumentation
- Collector: receivers, processors and exporters
- Agent and gateway modes
- Semantic conventions and sampling
How we work.
Five phases, always in the same order. Select each one to see what happens in it. In full projects they map onto the stages of our method.
We assess the group's starting level and what they need to be able to do by the end.
We design the programme: syllabus, exercises, practice environment and schedule.
We deliver the sessions with labs on instrumentation and collector configuration.
Each participant builds a working collector pipeline for a given case.
We gather feedback and results and refine the programme for future editions.

Frequently asked questions.
Does it work with any destination?
Yes, OpenTelemetry is destination-agnostic; in the examples we use Splunk Observability Cloud where useful.
Which languages is the instrumentation practice in?
Whichever your team uses, among those OpenTelemetry supports; we agree this before the course.
