Supported languages and SDKs

OpenTelemetry SDKs are available for many major languages. Easy instrumentation being its major goal, OpenTelemetry supports zero-code instrumentation for most languages. If a language is unsupported, easily custom instrument your applications for telemetry ingestion.

Simplified OTLP data ingestion with Site24x7

  • No need to deploy or manage an OpenTelemetry Collector—Site24x7 hosts and manages it for you.
  • Just configure your applications to export telemetry to Site24x7’s secure OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) endpoint.
  • Reduce infrastructure complexity and get started faster with native OpenTelemetry support.

Unified observability across tools and vendors

Gain unified visibility and intelligent observability across your environment:

  • Correlate data across siloed, multi-vendor ecosystems using a centralized monitoring platform.
  • Avoid vendor lock-in, enabling easy migration and simplified telemetry pipelines that let developers focus on innovation.
  • Scale seamlessly without code changes, regardless of your telemetry back end.
Transaction-level metrics for granular visibility.

Granular visibility and proactive remediation

  • Transaction-level metrics for web and background tasks
  • Span-level insights with waterfall views and trace-level drill-down views
  • Monitor exceptions with full traceability. Spot anomalies with top exceptions, error breakdowns, and error trace lists.

How OpenTelemetry integration works

1

Instrument your applications

Use OpenTelemetry SDKs or auto-instrumentation agents to generate telemetry from your applications.

2

Export telemetry data from your applications

Configure your applications to send telemetry data to Site24x7’s hosted OpenTelemetry Collector.

3

Transform telemetry with Site24x7

Send metrics, traces, and logs using OTLP—Site24x7 automatically ingests and processes the data for visualization and analysis.

4

Analyze and act

Correlate telemetry across services, visualize traces and spans, set intelligent alerts, and automate remediation with Site24x7’s observability platform.

FAQs about OpenTelemetry

1. What is OpenTelemetry?

OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation, open-source observability framework that provides standardized APIs, SDKs, and instrumentation libraries to generate and export telemetry data—metrics, traces, and logs—from applications. It empowers DevOps teams, SREs, and developers with vendor-neutral, tool-agnostic observability, enabling holistic insights into application performance and system behavior.

The Collector is a modular telemetry pipeline that receives, processes, and exports telemetry data. It improves scalability by eliminating the need for multiple collectors and promotes open-source observability data formats, supported by various observability back ends, including Site24x7.

No, OpenTelemetry is a framework and toolkit that standardizes telemetry data collection. Site24x7 builds on this data to provide advanced APM capabilities like root cause analysis, real user monitoring, anomaly detection, and automated incident resolution.

Refer to our OpenTelemetry integration guide for step-by-step instructions on instrumenting your applications and exporting telemetry data to Site24x7.
