Solution · OpenTelemetry adoption

Roll out OpenTelemetry without turning adoption into a flag day.

Start with one service or Collector, keep current compatible paths while teams migrate, validate logs, metrics, and traces on the same data plane, and standardize resource attributes before expanding coverage.

An adoption path that preserves reversibility.

Instrumentation, transport, schema policy, storage, and operator validation remain separate decisions instead of one irreversible migration.

01

Direct SDK ingestion

Point application SDKs at OTLP HTTP or gRPC with workspace-scoped authorization.

02

OpenTelemetry Collector

Use an existing Collector to fan out or mirror telemetry while the current backend remains in place.

03

Resource and schema policy

Normalize attributes, enrich ownership, redact sensitive values, and route data before storage.

04

Cross-signal validation

Confirm that service names, environments, trace IDs, labels, and fields remain useful across logs, metrics, and traces.

workflow

Adopt one bounded slice at a time.

The safest rollout proves transport and operator value before instrumentation expands across the estate.

  1. 101 · Instrument

    Choose one representative service

    Start with an SDK or auto-instrumentation path that covers a meaningful request flow.

  2. 202 · Mirror

    Keep the current backend during validation

    Fan out from the Collector or send a bounded environment to molesignal first.

  3. 303 · Validate

    Check fields and cross-signal context

    Confirm queries, dashboards, alerts, trace IDs, service names, and resource attributes against real traffic.

  4. 404 · Standardize

    Expand with pipeline policy

    Apply naming, ownership, redaction, and routing rules as more teams and services adopt the path.

proof / shipped

OpenTelemetry is a concrete receiver and onboarding surface.

The current product documents direct SDK and Collector paths, accepts OTLP telemetry, and exposes the resulting signals in native operator views.

  • OTLP HTTP and gRPC ingestion
  • OpenTelemetry Collector HTTP and gRPC exporters
  • Python, Go, Java, Node.js, Rust, and .NET onboarding paths
  • Logs, metrics, traces, and profile-aware source catalog
