OpenTelemetry Cookbook
Proven approaches for real-time monitoring and observability on cloud, AI, and modern infrastructures
By the time you finish this book, you should be able to make your systems observable across microservices, AI workloads, security monitoring, and hybrid cloud infrastructure. This book will help you learn how to effectively instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces) to analyze your software’s performance and behavior.
About
About the Book
A hands-on, recipe-driven book that puts OpenTelemetry into immediate use. This cookbook is for IT folks like developers, Linux admins, cloud engineers, backend pros, networking experts, and security practitioners. It's for anyone who wants a proven, hands-on way to keep an eye on, trace, and understand modern systems.
This book gives you step-by-step easy solutions to everyday observability challenges, so you can integrate, configure, and operate OpenTelemetry in dynamic environments. Each chapter focuses on solving problems that are directly relevant to production teams. These problems include installing and bootstrapping the Collector on Linux, wiring telemetry pipelines for traces, metrics, logs, and baggage, and integrating with the platforms that organizations trust for analysis and alerting.
Key Features
- Get the OpenTelemetry Collector up and running on Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes.
- Make and adjust pipelines to collect, process, and send out different telemetry signals.
- Use it to develop apps across Python, Go, Java, and Node.js.
- Boost signals with semantic info and resource detectors for more context.
- Integrate with AWS CloudWatch, X-Ray, Elastic, Prometheus, Splunk, Datadog, New Relic, Grafana Tempo, Loki, and Jaeger.
- Make a visual plan for telemetry and set up real-time alerts.
There's no need to get lost in theoretical jargon because OpenTelemetry Cookbook gets right to the meat and potatoes of implementation. Every recipe gives you a clear problem statement, a step-by-step solution, and practical validation. If you're just starting out with observability or want to level up your skills, this book's got you covered with clear steps to understand distributed, cloud-native, and hybrid systems.
This book builds a solid foundation for strong, easy-to-spot infrastructure and application settings, one step at a time. This book isn't about offering quick fixes or magic solutions. It gives you a full set of tools and techniques that help professionals improve visibility, performance, and reliability in their own technical landscapes.
