OCI and OpenTelemetry Integration

OpenTelemetry is becoming an industry standard for collecting and sending telemetry data. By integrating with the OpenTelemetry demo app, Oracle offers connectivity between the open-source framework and OCI’s O&M stack.

Benefits of OCI OpenTelemetry Integration

  • Gaining deep insights into your applications with Application Performance Monitoring (APM), Logging Analytics (LA) and the Monitoring Services.
  • By using a standardise approach there is less chance of vendor lock-in.
  • Reducing development overheads by auto-instrumentation capabilities.
  • Greater troubleshooting capabilities by using machine learning capabilities, and correlating traces, logs and metrics for fast resolution.

A unique approach: Combining Oracle with OpenTelemetry Ecosystem

By combining Oracle with OpenTelemetry ecosystem, Oracle brings extensive benefits:

  • Easy integration with OCI services for a cloud-native experience
  • Leverage OCI security features
  • OCI’s highly scalable infrastructure to handle massive volumes of data
  • O&M Database Management services to gain insights into the performance and health of databases
  • O&M Operational Insights services to help forecast resource utilisation
  • O&M Stack Monitoring service to auto detect anomalies, get alarm notifications and gain visibility into complex applications like E-Business Suite.
  • Dashboards to view metrics, traces and logs in one place
  • Oracle AI capabilities by adding chatbots and AI agents

To get started, head over to the GitHub Repo, where there is detailed technical information and setup guides. Oracle’s APM and Logging Analytics teams are actively working on adding integrations with OpenTelemetry, which will further enhance your observability capabilities with OCI’s O&M service – stay tuned.
