Kubernetes Events Monitoring using Open Telemetry And Loki

Introduction 

  • Kubernetes clusters are highly dynamic, and issues can appear at any time from pod scheduling failures to container crashes.  
  • Kubernetes events provide real-time insights into such problems, but managing and analysing these events at scale can be challenging. 
  • In this blog, we will learn how to monitor Kubernetes events using Open Telemetry Collector and visualize them in Grafana via Loki.

Implementing Supervisor Process Monitoring with Open Telemetry

In this blog, I’ll Walk you through how I set up a custom monitoring system for Supervisor-managed processes like Nginx and Apache2, this setup will allow you to track the health and performance of processes running under Supervisor in real time.  Continue reading “Implementing Supervisor Process Monitoring with Open Telemetry”

How to Monitor Open Telemetry Collector Performance: A Complete, Production -Grade Guide

In modern distributed systems, observability is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. At the center of this landscape stands the Open Telemetry Collector, acting as the critical data pipeline responsible for receiving, processing, and exporting telemetry signals (traces, metrics, logs). 

However, monitoring the monitor itself presents unique challenges. When your OpenTelemetry Collector becomes a bottleneck or fails silently, your entire observability stack suffers. This comprehensive guide will walk you through production-tested strategies for monitoring your OpenTelemetry Collector’s performance, ensuring your observability infrastructure remains robust and reliable.
