To all the OpenTelemetry people reading this page - please include the above description somewhere in your project. I actually googled the definition of telemetry because I had no idea what you were talking about, I thought it had something to do with space observations given all the telescopes? My second guess was that it had something to do with the way data from accelerometers was handled? Standardising tooling for sensors?
This comment was the first thing to explain that it's better logging. That's actually something I'd be interested in, running several different datascience services/analyses, logging was something I implemented then gave up on because it sucks so much. You're losing a lot of potential players because you have given 0 effort to explaining in simple terms what you are. A "From logging to telemetry" primer would probably garner you a lot more interest.
- privacyonsec 6y agoit's probably not on the front page but they actually explain what is telemetry and observability here: https://opentelemetry.io/about/ https://opentelemetry.io/about/ But I agree this is a better explanation :)
- cnr 6y agoMy first thought was "TV viewership metrics", but in this context adjective "open" seemed a little contradictory.
