Kubernetes attributes promoted to release candidate in OTel Semantic Conventions

Over the past few months, the K8s (Kubernetes) Semantic Conventions SIG focused on stabilizing Kubernetes attributes used by OpenTelemetry Collector processors such as k8sattributes and resourcedetection. That work has now paid off: Kubernetes attributes have been promoted to release candidate status. Users can try this new schema via feature gates and provide feedback before the final stable release. Read on to discover how we reached this milestone and what’s on the horizon.

‼️ #OpenTelemetry is deprecating the Span Events API.

Our aim is to remove the confusion and duplication caused by having two overlapping ways to emit events: span events and log-based events. New code should write events as logs that are correlated with the current span. The older "span events" style will be phased out over time, but existing data and views that show events on spans will keep working.

Read our latest post to learn more about how you can prepare.

📆 Happy Monday! Kubernetes attributes have been promoted to release candidate status!

Start your week off right by trying the new schema via feature gates.

Make our day by providing feedback to the #OpenTelemetry K8s Semantic Convention SIG.

(1/2) My first foray into OpenTelemetry was disappointing. The UI's and broken tools are a mess.

- Bad consistency
- Dozens of packages required
- Spans seem to work 50% of the time

Notice just "postgresql". No details. I have to expand it to see them. Compare with the second screenshot where I see ACTUAL details without needing to expand.

As for spans, look at that "=> 4.41s". If I'm using OT that should be a Span instead of polluting the log entries?

🌘 在 Rust 應用程式中實作 OpenTelemetry
➤ 從原理到實踐，建立全方位的 Rust 遙測監控體系
✤ https://signoz.io/blog/opentelemetry-rust/
Rust 以其卓越的執行效能與嚴謹的記憶體安全著稱，成為現代高負載系統的首選語言。儘管 Rust 具備強大的編譯期正確性保障，但在複雜的生產環境中，業務邏輯錯誤或執行時期故障仍不可避免，這使得可觀測性（Observability）變得至關重要。本文深入探討如何透過 OpenTelemetry (OTel) 對 Rust 應用程式進行監控。作者詳細說明瞭如何整合 OpenTelemetry 生態系，並利用 `tracing` 處理日誌與追蹤（Traces），最終將指標與遙測數據匯出至 SigNoz 平臺，幫助開發者精準掌握應用程式在生產環境中的運行狀況。
+ 這篇文章對於 Rust 生態系如何處理日誌與 Tracing 之間的橋樑解釋得非常清晰，特別是提到 `tracing` cra

Ah, the latest installment of "Let's Overcomplicate with Rust" 🎉. Apparently, we've decided that tracing our #Rust applications is the new Holy Grail, because clearly, developers don't have enough to do 🙄. Spoiler: It's 15 minutes of your life you won't get back, attempting to convince yourself that #OpenTelemetry isn't just another buzzword in the endless tech rat race 🚀.
