    VictoriaMetrics: From Monitoring to Observability

    VictoriaMetrics is a fascinating open source project for metrics monitoring. In the past couple of years the project has expanded its scope from monitoring to observability, with the addition of VictoriaLogs and VictoriaTraces to the stack. In this episode, Horovits sits for a fireside chat with co-founder and Engineering Manager, Roman Khavronenko, to learn more about it. They discuss the transition, the new projects added to the stack, design considerations, and what’s coming next. Roman is a software engineer with experience in distributed systems, monitoring and high-performance services. Prior to VictoriaMetrics, Roman worked as an engineer at Cloudflare.

  2. Operating OpenTelemetry at Scale with OpAMP - OpenObservability Talks S6E09

    Operating OpenTelemetry at Scale with OpAMP - OpenObservability Talks S6E09

    As more organizations move to use OpenTelemetry in production at scale, with multiple Collectors across heterogeneous environments, a new challenge arises:  how to remotely manage, configure, and update this agent fleet in a consistent and secure way? This is where Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) comes into the picture: it provides a standardized protocol that lets a central backend automatically configure agents, push updates, monitor their health, and collect status information.  In this episode Horovits hosts Andy Keller, OpAMP Maintainer and Principal Engineer at Bindplane, to discuss how OpAMP makes large-scale observability deployments much easier to operate and control. Andy shares the project status, including hot KubeCon update you don’t want to miss.

    OpenTelemetry for GenAI and the OpenLLMetry project - OpenObservability Talks S6E06

    Generative AI is everywhere, but how do we monitor and observe it? OpenTelemetry has been a prominent tool and standard for observability, and recently the OTel community has been aiming to expand its scope and cover GenAI workloads with semantic conventions and tools. In this episode, Horovits is joined by Nir Gazit, creator of the OpenLLMetry project, and member of the OpenTelemetry Generative AI SIG. We discuss new semantic conventions, tracing prompts and model behavior, the OpenLLMetry project’s journey, and what observability even means for modern AI systems. Nir Gazit is the CEO and co-founder of Traceloop, and brings a wealth of data and AI experience, with previous experience leading AI teams at Google and serving as the Chief Architect at Fiverr.

    Unveiling OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation - OpenObservability Talks S6E05

    eBPF holds the potential for true automatic instrumentation for observability. OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) is a new addition to the OpenTelemetry project, which brings the promise of a multi-language, multi-protocol auto-instrumentation, thanks to a code donation by Grafana Labs.  Our guest today is Mario Macías, Principal Software Engineer at Grafana Labs and OpenTelemetry eBFP Instrument maintainer. Macías joins Horovits to share about OBI, its origins, capabilities and how it fits into the broader OpenTelemetry project.  Mario holds a Ph.D. in Computer Architecture and for the last 8 years he's been working in observability at different companies. He also authored books in Spanish language, such as "Programación en Go" or "Introducción a Apache Spark".  You can read the recap post: https://medium.com/p/377cb0432bf1 Show Notes: 00:00 - episode intro 02:11 - guest intro 05:15 - Beyla origins 08:45 - OBI for app monitoring 14:46 - no-code multi-language instrumentation  23:12 - OBI trace support 33:58 - OBI components 43:39 - Beyla project new focus 47:21 - OTel instrumentation SIG 51:34 - collaboration with other OTel components and SIGs  54:59 - OBI roadmap 59:26 - outro  Resources: OBI on GitHub: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-ebpf-instrumentation/ Grafana Beyla donation: https://grafana.com/blog/2025/05/07/opentelemetry-ebpf-instrumentation-beyla-donation/ eBPF for continuous profiling and the Parca project: https://medium.com/p/8afd5bafd498eBPF for tracing and OTel GoLang Auto-instrumentation SIG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFykWV1mLAI&list=PLd57eY2edRXz4djMETYTm-2p8WGTdoX3DeBPF for Kubernetes monitoring and the Pixie project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYDBj5ctKaw&list=PLd57eY2edRXz4djMETYTm-2p8WGTdoX3D&index=52 Dotan Horovits ============ Twitter: @horovits LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/horovits Mastodon: @horovits@fosstodon BlueSky: @horovits.bsky.social Mario Macías =========== LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariomac/ Mastodon: https://masto.es/@macias Socials: BlueSky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/openobservability.bsky.social⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/OpenObserv⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/openobservability/⁠ YouTube:⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@openobservabilitytalks⁠⁠ OpenObservability Talks episodes are released monthly, on the last Thursday of each month and are available for listening on your favorite podcast app and on YouTube.
