OpenTelemetry Tutorial: Collect Traces, Logs & Metrics with InfluxDB 3.0, Jaeger & Grafana

InfluxData recently announced InfluxDB 3.0, which expands the number of use cases feasible with InfluxDB by storing traces, metrics, events, and logs in a single database. To demonstrate the capabilities of OpenTelemetry, an open standard for observability, InfluxData provides a working example that runs on top of InfluxDB 3.0. The demo uses Hot R.O.D. to simulate time series data, collects it with OpenTelemetry Collector, and writes it to InfluxDB 3.0. The demo is accessible through a KillerCoda environment or by running a local installation from the GitHub repository. Once set up, users can visualize their data in Grafana using Jaeger UI, which provides a bridging interface for metrics, logs, and traces between InfluxDB 3.0 and Grafana visualizations. The demo showcases how OpenTelemetry and InfluxDB 3.0 can be used to create observability solutions, and users are encouraged to play with the demo, fork the repository, and apply its components to their own use cases.
