🌖 OpenTelemetry Profiles 正式進入公開 Alpha 階段
➤ 打造標準化、跨平臺的生產環境效能分析生態系
https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2026/profiles-alpha/
隨著「連續效能分析」(Continuous Profiling)成為繼追蹤(Tracing)、指標(Metrics)與日誌(Logs)之後的第四大觀測支柱,OpenTelemetry 正式宣佈其 Profiles 功能進入公開 Alpha 階段。此舉旨在終結過去效能分析領域缺乏統一標準的窘境,透過建立供應商中立的框架與統一數據格式,讓開發者能以低開銷方式捕捉生產環境效能數據,進而優化軟體運作效率並降低運算成本。
+ 終於等到這一天了!過去在處理各家廠商不同的 Profiling 格式上耗費太多心力,OpenTelemetry 若能完成標準化,絕對是業界的一大福音。
+ 這個進展令人興奮,尤其是整合了 eBPF 技術,

OpenTelemetry Profiling Enters Public Alpha

Since OpenTelemetry first introduced Profiles, momentum has only grown towards building a unified industry standard for continuous production profiling, standing alongside traces, metrics, and logs. Today, the Profiling SIG is proud to announce that the Profiles signal has officially entered public Alpha, and we are ready for broader community use and feedback. Production profiling for all Continuously capturing low-overhead performance profiles in production is a technique that has been used for decades. It helps troubleshoot production incidents, improves user experience by making software faster and reduces computation costs by making the same work take less resources. Historically, the industry lacked a common framework and protocol for continuous profiling, even with formats like JFR and pprof being popular.

Three pillars becomes four.

The #OpenTelemetry project is excited to share that profiles are now alpha! With #OTel profiles, you get an industry-wide standard for production profiling, with true vendor neutrality and powered by community and ecosystem support.

Semantic Conventions for GenAI agent and framework spans

Status: Development Important Existing GenAI instrumentations that are using v1.36.0 of this document (or prior): SHOULD NOT change the version of the GenAI conventions that they emit by default. Conventions include, but are not limited to, attributes, metric, span and event names, span kind and unit of measure. SHOULD introduce an environment variable OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN as a comma-separated list of category-specific values. The list of values includes: gen_ai_latest_experimental - emit the latest experimental version of GenAI conventions (supported by the instrumentation) and do not emit the old one (v1.36.0 or prior). The default behavior is to continue emitting whatever version of the GenAI conventions the instrumentation was emitting (1.34.0 or prior). This transition plan will be updated to include stable version before the GenAI conventions are marked as stable.

#CloudFest is happening today until 6pm 🚀

Stop by and let’s talk all things #Observability. From #Traces to #Logs and #Metrics. Whether you’re scaling or optimizing, we’ve got insights (and some swag 😉).

And don’t miss it…
Tomorrow is the final day, from 9am to 6pm ⏳

Come by, say hi, and let’s dive into your challenges 👇

#CloudFest #OpenTelemetry #Monitoring #DevOps #SRE

Java TLS has been a blind spot for eBPF-based #observability tools for years. JSSE runs entirely inside the JVM with no exported symbols and nothing to attach to.

Here is how to solve it: https://coroot.com/blog/java-tls-instrumentation-with-ebpf/

Benchmarking our eBPF Java TLS agent against OpenTelemetry, Coroot added only +15% CPU overhead vs +38% from OTEL, which dropped 20% of requests under load.
