Observability in Distributed Systems Using .NET and OpenTelemetry
🛠️ Workshop Overview
In modern distributed systems, observability is critical for understanding system behavior, diagnosing issues, and ensuring reliability. This workshop will guide you through implementing observability in .NET applications using OpenTelemetry. We’ll cover how to collect logs, traces, and metrics, send them to the OpenTelemetry Collector, and then export them to defined exporters like Kibana, Loki, Prometheus, Jaeger, and Tempo.
